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.

Next "line" lessons

 

Ahhh, the humble line. 

My book continues to guide me in exploring the power of the line. . 

These exercises help to make me more aware 

of the parts that go into any drawing.

From Dots to Lines

I'm continuing my study of drawing by going to the next lesson in the Creative Drawing book by Rottger/Klante which was published in 1963.

Obviously, these ideas are what I need at this moment in time. Interesting how these gifts can appear when you really need them.
