Creating Pictures with Calligraphy

Second-Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent condition

In this practical, easy to use, guide, John Vince employs a unique approach to the development of a calligraphic hand

Endless lines of copying are avoided; instead the emphasis is on producing a picture composed of the written word.

Beginning with the basic tools and techniques, John Vince shows how handwriting is one of the most creative and disciplined of arts. He explains how the use of colour and of  different pen widths can subtly alter the impact of a design.

The book gives fresh ideas for developing the basic exercises and adapting them to give a personal touch to greetings cards, pictures, bookmarks, maps and the like.

The ideas presented here are starting points for the student's own imaginative  development.
