ID: Wk 27 - Flowers - A Fallen Blossom I've always been fascinated by Blackletter and circle formats... Tamer Ghoneim does fabulous calligraphy and he had a ZOOM free class yesterday (July 8/21) where he showed his process for creating circular artwork. Picked up quite a few tricks. Circle size, I'm still doing my way. I write out the quote, using the pen size and lettering style I will use on the final piece (doesn't have to be extremely neat...). Measure it and do a radius calculation. (C=2πR). If the length (circumference) of my work is 15", (π= 3.14) so 2π = 6.28. Divide 6.28 into your circumference of 15" and you get basically a radius of 2.4". Now you can draw your various circles. Put a pencil mark where you want the center of your circle and draw your first circle which is your base line. Then draw all the other circles. I used an EK Success Orbit Circle Scissor (sorry it's discontinued, but there are many other brands and style out there. I find the ruler type where you hold the center point is not very good for me - it always moves... I used Bee Super Deluxe paper, drew my circles and did my lettering with a 2.4 Parallel pen filled with Sumi ink, double dipped into Ecoline Gold. Detail in between the letters with Holbien Opera Pink gouache and a fine tipped nib (Gillot). Drew the extra circles with a Gold gel pen and a pink Zig Writer. Painted the flower with QoR watercolors accenting with the gold ink. The butterfly (Flourishes) stamped with Versa Clair ink and hand cut. Quote: A fallen blossom returning to the bough, I thought - but no a butterfly. Arakida Moretake |

ID: Wk 28 - Summer Songs - Homeward Bound We were asked to go back in time when we were 16 and pick a hit summer song... Not sure if this was a summer song, but it was a hit in that year.... Since I just finished a class with Julie Wildman "Imre Reiner" lettering I thought I practice in his style... Lettering called "Mercurius MT Bold Script". On Arches text wove drew my letters and colored with Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils. |

Trouble Size: 7"w x 9"h On Bee Super Deluxe paper. Wet the paper and sprayed with Dylusions "Calypso Teal" and "Crushed Grape". Let dry. Wrote out the quote using a pointed nib and Holbein "Permanent White" gouache in a monoline style. Created the caldron and bubbles with colored pencils. |

not On Bee Super Deluxe paper, drew my circle and wrote out the circles with a pointed nib in a Copperplate style with Sumi ink. Added the flourishes and the gold pen circles and design element. Quote: The past is not a compass for your future. Give yourself the permission to chart a new course. Stephanie Leigh Mulac |
