Description

All of my life I’ve been ‘keeping’ Notebooks. in the course of years, simple notes shifted towards calligraphy. I explored what I could do with simple blank pages and a mechanical pencil 0,3 mm. I was

not much of a big lay-out planner, so every time I just started a page, not knowing where it would lead me. Now, it’s nearly become impossible for me to just ‘write’ in these notebooks. My simple everyday notes became calligraphy/lettering too. And I kept on exploring more and more possibilities. In the mean time, there’s this one notebook that I’ve been working in for 10 years, and this is the starting point of this workshop. I will be showing how I work in this notebook and take out several ‘lay-outs’ to try out. In the mean time, I will be talking about letterdrawing and we go through different alphabets and how to draw them with pencil, fineliner, Speedball C5 pen, colourpencils. And more important, how to use and apply different rhythms with all of those letters.

Supply List:

Layout paper A3, Canson Croquis white 90 gsm or similar (P108)
Ruler, or T-square, triangle (S270, S753, S613)
Various regular pencils (6B, 2B, HB) (PL38, PL63)
Mechanicals pencils 0,3-0,5-0,7-0,9 mm (PL21)
If available... mechanical colour pencils 0,5 mm (The leads of the Pilot 0,7 mm are very fragile) The UNI-color Mitsubishi Pencil are very good (PL25)
Eraser (E13)
Ballpoint pens, fine tip
Fineliners 0,05-0,1-0,2 mm. Copic Multi-liners or others. Different colours if you find them (M197)
Papers A3 with squares of different sizes, to put underneath our writing page. (Is in the handouts) Grid page (will be in the handouts too)
Texts, names, places, book titles, songs, lyrics, singers, bands, events, dates, people, your story.... It doesn’t need to be well considered. I put everything in my notebooks and sometimes it is very spontaneous or impulsively
Grid pages that have the same size as the notebook (P22)
Moleskine notebook soft cover, plain paper, any size you want. I use the Extra large and large, you have A4 too. I personally prefer soft cover. If you take hard cover and you glue or paste in cards, pieces of paper in your notebook, chances of tearing the binding apart exists
