Angela Welch - Designing a Floral Flourished Weddi
In this class we will design a flourished and elaborately embellished wedding certificate as a finished piece. Watercolor flowers and acrylic embellishments make the work 3D!! The student may bring their own text or use one provided. From ruling the paper, penning the text to applying swashes of flourishes, flowers and gold we will complete a certificate in the class. Flourishing is the key component of the class. It is free form, sweeping and off hand to say the least! While this style of flourishing is free wheeling, it does have rules that must be observed so your design will be graceful and balanced yet still retain the freedom of movement. Each piece will reflect the artistic movement of the individual doing the designing as well as the embellishment. As you learn the art of flourishing for this style of work you will also learn a few techniques for acrylic and watercolor flowers including hydrangeas! I can hardly wait to see all the beautiful renditions of the individual certificates. This is going to be FUN!!
