L = Lisa, Letters, Laughter, Learning & Listening

Oh the fun I had today as I learned from Lisa Engelbrecht and all the artists enrolled in her class. Here's one of the plaques I ended up making. I love it.

It was an experience where we learned, laughed, and listened to one another.

In the morning, Lisa had us all learn how to make strokes with a paintbrush and sumi ink.

She also did several incredible demonstrations. The thing that I love most about Lisa is that she's a total rock star but not fully aware of it.

Check out this alphabet she demoned on a L O N G piece of paper! Totally awesome.

After practicing strokes, Lisa had us practice words and letters, trying out different styles and encouraged to make up our own styles.

Then we broke for lunch. Lettering is hard work!

After lunch, we started painting and lettering on twigs and putting finishing touches on our plaques.

Here are some rockin' works from the class ...

I did these last two on long pieces of ledger paper. So cool, right? I love the word Evolution.

Sometimes I wish I could become awesome over night. A revolution of sorts. But when I really think about it, it's evolution that I want.

This I know: I love lettering and always have. And I'll continue to practice and evolve and potentially wake up one day to awesome.

Many thanks to Lisa and all the students who shared in this special day.

Many more wonderful classes coming up in Studio CRESCENDOh that you can view here. See you in the studio. :)
