This class will cover the fundamentals of design to create a successful layout that combines lettering and beautiful painted florals or your favorite illustration technique. 

You will learn:

1. 20 layout ideas to use with small compositions

2. successful placement of elements combining one word or small poems with a floral or illustrative element.

3. how to create thumbnail sketches to help explore ideas

4. how to transfer your initial idea to good paper and set up a pencil guide

5. how to use color to reinforce a mood or feeling

 

As part of the "Design Studio" series, we will be working on multiple studio projects, from concept to finished piece, as time allows. Each student can choose the lettering style and floral element they would like to work with, lettering instruction will not be included. Use your favorite.  I will be demonstrating using small watercolor florals, but any illustration that you would like to add will do.
