V is for Very long time

It's really been a very long time since I've inflicted one of my filigree lettering on you. Probably because I took a break and devoted myself to other elements of calligraphy.

So here is a two-tone V with filigrees (a little different from what I usually do) and my inevitable little gilded dots.


And I take this opportunity to remind you that there are only a few days left to register for the course on split versals & filigrees that will be hosted by the gentle penman platform.

Lettering

 More and more in search of original shapes, I continue to experiment with lettering and distortions.

Here are two small compositions (there should be 4 in the end) with the alphabet and Arabic numerals which makes a total of 6² (easy to lay out).




As I already said, I will be giving online classes on my approach to lettering, basic shapes, mechanics, layout...

The English course will take place on July 9th and 10th 2022, info and booking here

The French version will be a little later in the season, on September 3rd and 4th. Registration is already open, info here.

December 25

 The Christmas holidays are approaching and you may not know what to offer your loved ones in these troubled times.

I propose you filigreed letters and monograms.

The materials (inks, paints, gilding, papers) are used according to your requests.

Prices range from 20 to 200€ (excluding shipping costs) depending on the size and complexity requested.

For any order, you can contact me by mail or by phone from the contact information displayed on this page.

some recent examples with a quartet of Payne grey lettering 2 cm high



and then a lighter blue for a D of the same size



walnut ink, always at 2 cm




And a large monogram (letters of 4cm and filigree of 10) with gilding.

The secret I'm looking for...

End of year, end of composition.
I'm done with the fragment of "L’Été" by Camus.
Partly in NEULAND, partly in Gothic, both scripts being inspired by Rudolf Koch.






Watercolou, iron gall ink and gouache on kraft paper.

And I take this opportunity to wish you a very good New Year's Eve & an excellent year 2020.
