I had some serious fun in a recent pointed-brush class with Yves Leterme this spring. Very serious. So often, classes in lettering concentrate on the individual letters, with some attention paid to letter- and word-spacing. These weird, wild letters needed attention and care, but the true challenge was in making them work together as a texture. This required some serious attention and difficult decisions. And this is work I need to be doing. So I will be continuing this for awhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Homework
Homework done in week 3 of the pointed brush class with Yves Leterme. The point of this exercise was to come up with as many symbols that read as “A”. Walnut ink and water brush on a fat 11 in x 14 in pad of drawing paper.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Homework
More homework done in week 3. Here I experimented with as many different kinds of connections between pairs of letters as I could manage. Then I used that new “vocabulary” of connections to write the word.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Homework
At the end of the first page of this exercise, I felt that I had a few more different “California”s in me.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you want to check out work by others who took this class, search Instagram for #pointedbrushlettering<\/a>. You can fairly easily tell which of those posts are related to Yves’ class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the third online class I’ve taken with Yves. I took his class on Built-Up Capitals<\/a> two years ago, which you may also remember from these posts here<\/a> and here<\/a>. I also took his Homegrown Trajans<\/a> class four years ago, which was more serious fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His instruction is always interesting and his critiques are always helpful. I also like to look at his critiques of other students’ homework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe I’ve mentioned before what a wonderful education venue Harvest provides as Acorn Arts<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
