The Art of Miniature Painting & Lettering with Janet Takahashi
Explore the process of creating miniature works of art accompanied with calligraphy in this 1-Day (4+ hour) Workshop Inspired by the beautiful miniature paintings of the illuminated manuscript of 16th century Joris Hoefnagel in Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta and 20th century calligrapher Marie Angel, we create modern miniature illuminations. Learn the techniques in a step-by-step method using various tools and materials to draw and paint in colored pencil, pen and ink, watercolor and gouache. We begin working large and gradually reduce in size to miniature. The focus of this class is on miniature painting. Learn how to simplify and render fine detail for creating your own tiny masterpieces.
