The white vine is a common decorative technique in Renaissance manuscripts, born in Italy. It is based on vegetal patterns that decorate the initials or borders in interlaced and colored scrolls.
In this course, we will see how to build a vine around a letter and how to adorn it with leaves, flowers and other vegetal patterns. The first session will be dedicated to the study of historical layouts and patterns. The second one will be used to see what kind of modern interpretations we can make of this technique by modifying colors, layouts and flower shapes.
