A one day workshop with Denis Brown
Level: intermediate to advanced

 

1 day. Level: Intermediate & Advanced. Max. 20 students


Flourishes are perhaps where calligraphy is at its most calligraphic. The spontaneous ejection from a letter stroke, accelerating into a freely written flourish, is a joy to perform and behold. We will look at simple flourishes and italic swash capitals, using Denis' method of dynamic strokes and the one-shot let it fly approach



Tools and Materials: Broad edged calligraphy felt-tip markers, calligraphy dip-pens: (Brause size 3mm & 4mm particularly suggested in addition to students own preferred brand), ink, gouache paints, palette, mixing brushes, ruler, pencils, eraser, compass, paper for practice and one or two quality sheets.
