A Huge Calligraphy Project-I do more than silks!





This is a project I did in February and March.  It was for a client in Oshkosh, WI.  The writing style is 'David Jones' and is pre-Roman lettering.  David Jones drew each letter and thrived on inconsistency.  So where the same letters are different shapes or you see a slant or a curly exit, that is all David Jones.  I used gouache for the colors, Ziller Ink for the Black, Schmincke Gold for Rachel and gold leaf for the Hebrew.  The vining is hand drawn and colored with colored pencils.  The size is about 22 x 30".
