Starting Date : 12 Nov 2022
Fees : HK$ 1,000 or US$ 130
Workshop Description
In this course we will focus the attention only on the elegant shapes of the Italic Capital Letter.
I will show you my personal way of seeing, transform and making them more beautiful and attractive in your work.
In detail:
-
A quick but intense review of the classic forms of Italic capital letters and some historical interpretations: it is important to have a clear understanding of the shapes before transforming them.
-
Formal and stylistic variations through automatic pen manipulation, strong contrasts, gestures and stroke’s expressiveness quality.
-
more variations inspired by the letters of the Latvian calligrapher Villu Toots.
-
decorative elements and color techniques applicable to letters.
-
letters compositions and colors technics to create backgrounds and patterns for your calligraphic works.
At the end of the course we will use all the worksheets to compose a small object booklet that will summarize the whole path done together. This workshop is open to everybody.
