Life Book 2015 - Week 3 Lettering Assignment


This lesson was about creating our own stylized lettering to use in our art.  I don't have some of the recommended supplies for this exercise.  So rather than using watercolors on most of the colored areas, I've used gouache mixed with water.  The background coloring constancy from one section to the next (behind the letters) needs some work, but I like the letter shapes and having used writing to enhance each.  Now...need to do more practice pieces!

This piece was created through a class offered by Tamara Laporte from Willing Arts Ltd. For more information, visit this link: www.willowing.org.

This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
