NEXT MEETING: FEBRUARY 15, 2025 | 9:30 AM
Gothicized Italic
Presented by Luis P.
Luis P. will present Gothicized Italic Script for our February program. This stunning broad-edged hand combines the formality of Gothic (Blackletter) with the fluidity of Italic. We’ll learn the fundamentals of this elegant style, with its unique flourishes and flowing forms. Through guided exercises and demonstrations, Luis will focus on the minuscule letters, from ‘a’ to ‘z’, sharing the basic skills needed to create this beautiful hand.
Supplies:
Straight Pen nib holder, 1.5 Mitchell Roundhand nib or Speedball C2 or Pilot Parallel 2.4mm
Marker Paper
Sumi, walnut, or your preferred ink
No worries if you currently lack any broad-edged writing tools; there will be extras for you to borrow for the program. Paper provided if you don’t have marker paper.
