Workshop details
This course takes you step by step through the process of drawing, gilding, and painting a beautiful Victorian style Versal letter.
These letters are brimming with garden florals, vines, leaves and even some bugs and butterflies. When you learn the basics of how to design these letters, you can vary the styles and add anything you can imagine to them.
You will be amazed at how these letters come to life with gold leaf and watercolour and may even want to try your hand at adding a little garden creature to your letter. There are endless possibilities to explore in these whimsical letters.
