Romans Study Group (Member-led)

Sponsored by 

FRI, February 3, 2023,  6:30-8PM PST

No charge for these Study Group Sessions.

We'll continue to study the work of  Sherri Thornton. Sherri is known for both her contemporary versals, a.k.a Kersals, as well as her Word Paintings. We'll have special guest, Veronica Phillips, to demonstrate Press-and-Release Romans.

Kristi's Word Painting made under the direction of Sherri

These sessions are led by members, sharing what they have learned. They do not claim to be masters. Members and guests may register for any session--there is no requirement to attend all sessions. The aim is to share knowledge with those newer to Romans and to provide a refresher for those with more experience.  

The session will be led by Kristi Darwick, with special guest, Veronica Phillips. We plan to record this session. Kristi asks that you remind her!

Agenda: 

After quick announcements, we'll get right into our demo of Press-and-Release  Romans. Veronica taught these in a previous program,  but reviewing them is always helpful and her letters lend themself beautifully to work inspired by Sherri's. Both Sherri and Veronica credit Peter Thornton as teacher and inspiration. 

This month's Project: We're working on refining our letter layout. 

SUPPLY LIST:

• Text weight Paper-I like sulphite paper.  It's inexpensive and is a great alternative to Arches Text Wove.  The paper is available at Dick Blick in 50, 60 and 80 lb. Any decent drawing paper will be great.  9 x 12 is a good size to work with
• Ruler
• Pencil. Veronica  likes the Blackwing, but any pencil that's soft, 2B will be good.

• Sketchbook or other paper for sketching letter composition.
• Pencil and eraser. 
• T-square or ruler
• Your thumbnail sketches
