Class Homework

Sometimes (well mostly) students work diligently and quickly. For those of you who teach, you know there are always people who work much faster so extra projects need to be 'set up'.

This week's evening class is enthusiastic and all are quick workers. They have completed their 'interpretation of a poem' project (pics to follow next week) and so what to do after they have 'tweaked' their final work?

Experiment with ruling pens, Coit pens and other interesting tools of course. Here are two pieces which were done using  broad nib-pens, black gouache using black ink as the liquid (not water), short quote and a light watercolor paper. I think you will agree that the results are dynamic and successful.

 Ester's piece with 'Zen-like' space

 [the writing isn't leaning back in the actual piece - this is lens distortion]

Chantal's piece with wonderful curves

Next week's project? Peace flags...
