Dear Members and Followers,
This afternoon we will work with an Art Nouveau monoline typography hand, which will be fun and in the moment.
Art Nouveau was considered to be the period from approximately the late 1880’s to the First World War and was inspired by plant forms and nature, taking organic subjects, and turning them into sophisticated, sinuous, and flowing patterns.
