Heather Victoria Held, Instructor
Take your offhand flourishing to the next level as you refine your strokes and add new layers of dimension to your work. True offhand flourishing is done without pre-planning or designing. It is the direct process of thinking on paper. But as your designs take on more complexity you may want to use the pencil to plan aspects of the designs. Taking the time to refine our flourishing skills will help you take your designs to a higher level.
Inspired by the glow of the autumn season we will add a glimmer of magic and create graceful garlands, shapes, and frames. Colour will be explored mainly through watercolours, but we will accent with metallics, coloured pencil and a touch of white gouache. You will find so many opportunities to augment your calligraphic work with these opulent flourishes.
