I recently participated in a workshop taught by English calligrapher, Peter Thornton. It was a wonderful experience and I learned a ton. Peter filled the class with equal parts humor and great lessons.
Two out of the three workshop days were focused on the painted letters of German calligrapher, Adolf Bernd.
Bernd did these lovely watercolor letter paintings for over twenty years during his retirement until his death in 1994. We took inspiration from his work and applied it to our own.
This is one of my more successful pieces from the workshop.
And I did these just for fun.
