Suzanne Cunningham - Flourishing: The Art of the O
Youve learned the basics and know your letterforms. Now learn how to make them even more beautiful with flourishes! But here comes the kicker: How do I do that? Do I flourish every letter? Do I make small, tight flourishes or big, loose ones? When do I stop? Help! No worries, we will cover all of that! In this class, we will learn how to flourish off of the individual letter by extending ascenders and descenders, entrance and exit strokes, and how to balance all of that on envelopes and larger pieces. We will learn the steps to make a graceful oval, how to critique our work, and exactly what to look for when we break it down. This class will help you take your envelopes and larger pieces to the next level!
