Mastering Italic...Mastering Italic
Are you happy with your italic alphabet? Would you like a good formal italic that you can count on because you can see what's wrong and fix it? Do you look at other calligraphers' italic and wish it were yours? Then "Mastering Italic" is the workshop for you. It will be an in-depth review of the formal italic alphabet. We will study each of the components of the alphabet--what makes it look the way it does--and use this information to determine how your personal italic can be improved. You'll learn how to fix new, old, and "yucky" pens so they become good pens. You'll learn to use watercolor and gouache so they flow well out of your pens. Individual attention will help you to learn to be your own teacher.
