November Yellows

Thu Nov 5, 2009, 9:43 PM
The streets are decorated with piles of bright yellow leaves. Quite a dramatic effect, fun to walk in, and the leaves fly up into tiny whirlwinds as cars pass by. What's not to love?!?

Spent a few uninspiring weeks where nothing came out right, but this week the calligraphy blues has started to lift. Hurrah! Just in time to make my Christmas cards!

Thanks for the nice comments.
I have many sources of inspiration: mostly books on calligraphy and on watercolor techniques.
I also make splashes on a page when I warm up before doing a clean calligraphy, and experiment on scrap paper. Some of the better-looking smudges and letters can be used later on. :-)

- Thomas Ingmire website ([link])
- Thomas Hoyer website (www.callitype.com/en/index.html)
- Claude Mediavilla books & website ([link];PHPSESSID=210f474b7ae56e63e379ed5e9873de0c)

- John Stevens website (www.johnstevensdesign.com and [link])
- David Harris website ([link])
- Covers of calligraphy magazines ( Letters Arts Review [link] Scripsit [link])
And if you search for calligraphy societies online, you'll find many, many more images to inspire you. Enjoy!

Still just learning alphabets and strokes though, nowhere near as good as you :)
