Black paper can be the background for pen-based lettering of brilliant, solid color, or the host for subtle colors and variations. This class will move from the traditional use of color on black paper to a more fluid approach where surprise and spontaneity are a part of the design. Simple exercises, such as painting a color wheel on black paper, gradually adding white paint to a color in a line of lettering, and changing from one color to another, will lead the participant to develop confidence in the use of color. If you've never used paint in your pens, here's the chance to begin. If you are experienced in using paint, now is the time to stretch yourself by exploring the balance between watercolor and gouache, white paint, and water.
