So I got out some good paper and cut it to a frameable size and started sketching. I swapped out the narcissus for some loose roses. Then I laid down the lines with a Micron pen. Then the painting began. Some of the line work was reinforced after the painting. And before framing they were initialed and dated.
I think I mentioned a trip to IKEA back in the beginning of December - well, part of the reason for that trip was to get some frames. I forget where I had seen someone using these frames for another art project, but I thought they might be perfect for framing these letters.
You can find some other good tutorials at The Postman's Knock as well as worksheets and projects relating to calligraphy.
Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Lorraine! How do you get your letters so perfectly formed?
ReplyDeleteA lot of pre-planning pencil work and erasing.
DeleteI love mine, thank you. I took all my Christmas cards down at the weekend and my S has gone up on the bookcase beside the little pebble birds. I like the daffodils/narcissi in the L.
