Experience the rhythmic, painterly sensation of using a flat brush to write Italic. We will learn how to use a flat brush and will experiment with dry- and wet-brush techniques on paper. Learn how the brush can enhance your speed and texture of Italic letterforms, and have fun messing around with gouache and different paper surfaces. Recommended for students familiar with Italic.
