Description
Hello Learn to create beautiful decorative lettering, with a page for each letter of the alphabet. The book explores a number of styles, periods and origins - with the range in complexity making this book perfect for beginners and those a bit more confident with a pen and pencil. How it works Each left-hand page contains one decorative capital letter, with a grid overlaid. The opposite page has a similar grid allowing you to copy, or use as inspiration for your own reworking. I recommend Try working with pencil initially then progress to a fine, high-quality ink pen when you're happy with your design. Start with black and white initially and progress to colour when you feel confident. Be careful to let the ink dry before using other colours. Join me on a creative journey through the history of decorative lettering. Larger A4 format (210 by 297mm / 8.3 x 11.7 inches).
