I got the inspiration for this workshop when I was teaching in Mexico. When I was teaching there for the first time, I experienced a shock! Oh, what colors they combined together! Unbelievable. But still, they left an indelible experience in me. So I started immersing into the colors that I lost in my childhood. I would like to share the unusual combination of colors with you so that you will not be afraid to use them in your works!

Roman Capitals, based on the magnificent inscription on Trajan’s column in Rome, are one of the most important letterforms for calligraphers and therefore are essential to understand the basic of all further letterforms. My own approach to these marvelous letters is a little different. As for all my brush script also for the Roman Capitals I use my dry brush technique, which make the letters lighter and transparent. We will go through all the letters (divided in different groups), step by step. At the end I will demonstrate how you can use them for your artworks, but for more ideas you can sign up for another 2 following workshops: Single Roman Capital design and composition & Layering with Roman Capitals.

When starting with Roman capitals, the best way to create a beautiful work is layering letters. So you can hide mistakes, even cover them with new layers. I will show you how you can create beautiful textures with Roman capitals and color effects that will take us into three-dimensionality.

Copperplate is a very unique and precise script, with a rich history and worldwide diffusion - known as old school script - especially in English speaking regions. In French, it is called Anglaise.
But even though it is so formal, it can be transformed into a lively script - by changing the rules of angles, the height of the letters and adding details that give so much energy to the words.
Firstly, Classical English will be introduced in this workshop but then we will move on to more dramatic forms to compose harmonious words. It is really an unpredictable script but pleasant to look at and very useful too...

When I teach around the world, people always ask me about this workshop. That's why I decided to organize it once. Your signature is an element that you can incorporate into your artwork, so it is one of the important elements of your creativity. Your signature speaks about you and your personality. Where do you place it, how big is your signature, are your lines confident, hesitant? So, let's embark on a journey of research and creation of a new signature that will proudly adorn your works.

This beautiful script comes from ancient Roman times. After the 5th century, Rustic Capitals began to fall out of use, but they continued to be used a script in titles. As it was also carved into stone it was written with a brush, too!
So, I took the script and the brush, added some modern details, colors, and shades that gave timeless beauty to its unique strokes. Although the script is 2000 years old, we can still make it lively and attractive. We can use it for the backgrounds, as an artwork with hidden messages or to cover a big empty space! The script is written with a lot of angle changing (manipulation), so it is suitable for more advanced level. However, beginners can work with only some letters, too.

I created the flame script, my own invention, when I was practicing Roman capitals... This script will help you achieve lightness of strokes and pick up the right amount of color, so it is also suitable for beginners. The "flame" or "road" strokes that can be found in each letter will guide us through the entire lowercase alphabet and in the end we will use them to create a simple layered design. It is always a real pleasure to see the work of the students in this workshop.
