ORNAMENTAL CAPITALS
Belinda Chim, Instructor
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
In this intermediate flourishing class, we will learn to create graceful flourishing in a contemporary and approachable way!
We will learn about the relationship with ovals, which are fundamental to all executing flourishing, and we will learn and practice shape variations created from ovals. We will then discuss basic strokes and varieties of curvature combinations and what to avoid, and will practice on those drills as a foundation to our capital stems.
In this class you will learn tips and tricks to execute smooth, creative, and brave letters. We will dissect the individual components of flourishing and to understand overall structures. Belinda will show you how you can create different variations after we understand the logic behind it. It can seem daunting at first, but Belinda will teach you how to look beyond the structure so you can achieve graceful flourishing with ease!
