PRESENTER: Elmo van Slingerland

SPONSOR: Society for Calligraphy
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
During this workshop we fully concentrate on hand-drawn letters. We will use various drawing techniques, such as pencil, broad-edged pen, pointed pen and brush with gouache/watercolor.
Through helpful exercises you will be able to expand your knowledge about several aspects of drawing letters, its possibilities, proportions, elegance and detail.
We will focus on form similarities and different contrasts and learn about all kinds of varieties which are possible within the three basic forms roman, cursive and capital. With or without serifs, playful or more strict, bold, light, big, small, narrow and wide, smooth or rough….
While drawing our letters, we shall always fall back on the written letter which in most cases will be our starting point.
You will learn how to apply the hand-drawn letter (large and small format) in some compositions during layout exercises.
