This week we have been working on creating space for ourselves on paper, to be less fearful of white paper, large nibs and knowing that leaving space to work around is optimum.
An A3 sheet of paper and handful of large nibs was the choice, together with black gouache and ink to use as the liquid to 'liquify' the paint. This is in preparation for next lesson's writing on fabric.
Tina's work - lovely swirl and a simple quote create a beautiful image
Suggested homework: practice words depicting Penfriends Calligraphy Studio which will be paintedointo fabric and hung around the courtyard and studio as 'bunting' for the 30th celebrations in November. I'm hoping words like: Create, Laugh, Joy, Smile will be some of the thoughts that pop up - not homework, handwork and hardwork.
A rough thumbnail will be created on paper, using the same size as the intended flag, pen or brush to be used for the final piece, together with color choice and design.
Look forward to the designs and final flags next week.
Some pieces created today which could easily be adapted into flag designs.
