I’m always looking for ways to improve my lettering and design skills. So when my local Dallas calligraphy guild, Kaligrafos, brought in Barbara Close for a Watercolor technique workshop, I signed up immediately!
Barbara is a fabulous teacher who introduced a variety of watercolor techniques that work well for lettering projects. I was so ready for some fun after putting in so much work completing my Dom Loves Mary font.
I’ve included the results from my weekend of playing with Barbara!
The top pic is called “Layer by Layer”.
I was so inspired by the weekend activities that I even came up with original sayings!
- “Life is a Container”
Each of the pieces involves several techniques using a combination of watercolor, embossing, stenciling and collage. The sayings were brush lettered in gouache paint. They were inspired by the works in progress and actually added after the each piece had been completed.
- Watercolor letters and Life
Thanks for an inspiring, fun weekend Barbara!
