Monoline Meets Watercolor with Annie Cicale
Monday & Tuesday, July 16 & 17, 2007, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
The fluid line made by the broad-edged pen is seductive with its undulating thicks and thins, teasing us with its potential for beautiful letters. The monoline tool, however, allows us to study pure porportion and shape, to make letters that are elegant and dramatic. These letters can be used in a variety of settings, from a delightful design for a children’s birthday card to a more refined version than can be used to express complex ideas in a direct and straightforward way. After developing a number of designs, we will work on them with color, introducing some of the fundamentals of watercolor to develop our designs. Annie emphasizes the basics in her workshops while giving more advanced students the freedom to experiment with these ideas, so this workshop will appeal to students at many levels of experience.
