Workshop- day 6- (poetry and calligraphy)

I really enjoyed this project especially using ink with a paint brush to create marks, at first I made different marks using a flat headed paint brush looking into different lines, strokes and wave lines. Then I wrote the alphabet again using different strokes each time, and then I used a quote to write it out using ink.
