Meeting at Saint Matthew Lutheran Church
800 N. New Road, Waco, Texas; 10 am 

Let’s transfer versals to our art

So often it’s nice to add a decorated letter at the start of a quote or to emphasize a word. Or they can be used as an initial to gift to someone. But that’s a skill to learn the proportions and how to free hand one. But an easier skill is how to transfer one. Though there are several methods to do this (i.e., light box, tracing paper, Saral paper, etc.), Suzi Ickles will guide us through an easy way to accomplish this. Suzi will have handouts of 3 different styles of versals that are about 1” tall and you will transfer your choice of letters to watercolor paper, then paint and decorate it with watercolor pencils. The morning hour-long program is free and open to visitors. Bring whatever supplies you want to work with and let’s have fun creating decorated versals. Suzi will provide handouts and watercolor paper.

Supplies to bring:

¨       #2 pencil with eraser
¨       Ruler, 1” transparent with a grid
¨       Stylus or empty ball point pen
¨       Removable tape, washi tape, or low-tac tape
¨       Small  black waterproof pen (bring several to test)
¨       Small gold pen (like Sparkle Pop)
¨       Watercolor pencils
¨       Small round brush
¨       Small container for water

Afternoon workshop information coming soon. We will learn to draw our own simple versals and decorate the negative space of the letters.  Saturday afternoon June 13, 20206, 1:30 to 3:30 pm; $25 for members; $35 for visitors.
