Workshop Description:  This fun and bold hand has a more casual and contemporary look than its more formal cousins. We’ll practice the pen manipulation that allows for dynamic stroke transitions. The boldness of this lettering style creates lovely textures and white spaces. Once we’ve learned the alphabet, we’ll add some color. This hand lends itself to fun color blending when spaced tightly, as the bold stokes stay wet and allow for bleeding from one letter to another. We’ll play with a powdered ink called Bister from Belgium to get some gorgeous and transparent color effects with our lettering. Finally, we’ll get out our pencils and add some graphite effects to our lettering to really make it pop. 

LEVEL: Recommended Intermediate /Advanced Level
