Mike Gold & Heather Martinez - Big Fun! with the BigOne - Sept 8

Whether you work big or small, chances are you have wondered what it’s like to bridge the spectrum and do both. In this online course you will learn: How to wield brush nib markers like a pro. Mike Gold, master calligrapher, spent his career as a Senior Lettering Designer at American Greetings exploring what letters can do at all sizes: big and small. Adept at various mark-making tools, he creates masterpieces and often shares variations of an exercise called Power of Two in his contemporary calligraphy classes. Heather Leavitt Martinez, visual practitioner and lettering artist, has designed and interpreted more than a dozen traditional calligraphic hands into lettering styles that can be created with markers, most of which using the brush nib. You will also learn how to:
• Hold the markers to get the most variation of line,
• Manage angle, trajectory, pressure, and speed,
• Create works of art that you can give, share, and show off,
• And finally get the most out of the largest and smallest brush nibs in the world.
Upon registration, a package of supplies will be mailed to you. You will need to collect paper to write on. John Neal Books has a variety of marker and bristol papers you can choose from. All are optional so consider which would work best for you. Consider: size and weight.
