Watercolour brush pieces



Well, i'm back! now that i've actually done some calligraphy lately, & am getting over my winter funk - already 1/2 the front lawn is bare from snow, & it's not even spring!









3 pieces!
I took a class from Barb Close from California  http://bcdezigns.com/BCgallery.htm.






She was up teaching 2 classes for http://edmontoncalligraphicsociety.ca/.

In the Painting For Words, we worked with watercolour backgrounds. Fun stuff. I didn't finish the lettering for all of them in class, but here are the 3 completed ones. i missed out on her day of Brush Lettering but figured i'd do my best & used 3 different types of brushes on these pieces; a watercolour 'round' on "Fly", a waterbrush for "Colour", and a Pentel Brush for "Dream".

Go where YOUR dream takes YOU!
