A chronicle of my time studying calligraphy with Reggie Ezell. Topics include his in-class demonstrations, photos of other students' work, and blow by blow details of how my homework is progressing.
These are the first actual pages of the book I am doing for homework. They are on Arches text wove with sumi ink. The darker ones are what I painted originally. Then I washed them off creating the lighter, smudged ones. No lettering yet; I plan to cover these pages with calligraphy. There are 6 other pages similar to this one. These are just a sampling.
These journal pages are the springboard for the homework piece that is in progress. I am hoping to capture some of the spontaneous energy from the sumi lines, as well as the colors. Several artistic decisions have been made, and I have already started cutting the paper for the book.
