Second Alphabet 2012



 Sorry to be so late posting my second alphabet as I have been away for two and a half months!
 These letters are designed in Art Noveau style of the 1920's.  I drew the letters lightly in pencil onto hot pressed Arches paper.  I then wet the paper and dropped watercolours onto the surface, when dried I removed the pencil, leaving the letters in relief.
 The to add an interest I added a black image of a dragonfly to the letters.
 



 
Hope you enjoy my dragonflies dancing in the July letters.

  1. Valerie these letters literally dance off the square! I love the gentle background washes as well.
