The Kinship of Calligraphy started with a beautiful folder of papers supplied to members of the Chicago Calligraphy Collective to create a piece for the 40th anniversary show at the Newberry Library. I chose to use Hermann Zapf’s words that came with the packet as inspiration and other quotes relating to the arts. I love texture, so on many of the pages I’ve added gesso and rubbed in acrylics to give it that look. There is also Walnut ink and Sumi ink on some of the pages. Sometimes I’ll kick back the color with Absorbant Ground so that the writing will show up more. The hand lettering is done with a woodless pencil.
