COPPERPLATE UP CLOSE Description: By studying basic but important details about the copperplate form, we can elevate this hand to go from fairly simple to elegant, refined and lyrical. We will take a VERY CLOSE look at all the copperplate lower case forms. Through a series of exercises, we will study the structure, slant, turns, shades, and overall texture, and learn how to achieve grace and lightness.
