Last of line study

These are the last two pages of study from the book I've been following. Some of the lines on the above piece were done with the edge of a mat board and some with thinner board. I've used acrylic ink, homemade ink and a stamp pad for the different colors.

The lettering page was designed to show different texture created from size, style and layout of letters. OK, this was pretty easy for me as I was a professional calligrapher for 29 years. Still, since I've barely done any lettering since I retired, it was fun to do.

I love looking at these studies and experiments of yours ^^ Hmmmm... wait a minute, I think I've said the exact same thing in one of your last posts, I could have sworn that it felt like Deja Vu when I typed it out just now. =) I find them really intriguing!

That is very neat about the textures from letters - never really thought about it before.
