Copperplate Class November 2014 Created: November
26, 2014 I took a class last weekend with Renate Worthington, one of our Guild members who taught Copperplate. Loved it and picked up some good tips. All lettering done with a Nikko G nib. |

Both the Thank You above and the Thanks to the right were done on black Spectrum cardstock using a Nikko G nib and a mix of Copic opaque white mixed with H2º. The thanks piece had Ecoline inks dropped into lettering while it was still wet. |
|
The Dona Nobis piece was also done on the Spectrum cardstock with Fine Tec "Silver Pearl". When dry penned in some "Red" |
|
I used watercolor paints for the Twinkle Twinkle piece on Canson CP 90# watercolor paper. Went over the letters with silver. When dry, misted with water and then splattered some silver. |

|
I believe I used Higgins for both these Merry Christmas pieces on our Guild's paper (Neutech 25% cotton). I was just playing... |

|
Renate asked us to draw a circle and then put the alphabet around it. A real fluke when I finished the first set of letters and it went 1/2 way around... without any forethought or practicing... Not sure what I'll put in the center. |
For the boxed S Renate said just draw a 3" square and put a large letter in to it... This is the first thing that came in to my head. I really like the graphic contrasting with the sensual aspect of it. |

Again just playing, hand drawn letters, outline with a Zig Writer then colored with Prisma colored pencils. |
The last project we did was make a place holder. I used Neenah white 65# cardstock with Sumi ink... it bled. I then used the side of a red colored pencil to add shading. |
