As lace on fabric, flourishes can add life and the ‘finishing touch” to hand-lettering. Their beauty lies in their free, effortless grace. In this course, Master Penman and former White House Chief Calligrapher Pat Blair will teach us to add flourishes with letters and under names and addresses. We will also cover larger flourishes that can be used as borders as well as wedge (triangle) brush florals to complement the flourishing.
