Class Description: FOLIA is a decorative & highly ornamental (Baroque) expression of a simple leafing out of a script letterform. We take cues from plants that do this to regenerate themselves and instead of photosynthesis, we use our paints pencils to fluff up a hairline of a letterform. Lots of attention will be given to practicing painting leaves with round and filbert brushes, letting them dry, and then drawing on top of them and around them to form leaf and wave-like forms, grown from a hairline. No matter your level of comfort or experience with a brush, this course offers several opportunities to work with what’s on the page to bring out the best of everything and complete a unique and lush letter EVERY time.
