We started by mixing 12 shades of gouache and then testing samples on different kinds of black paper. We used Fabriano Ingres, Bugra black and Arches cover black.
Then we moved on to testing Pearl-ex pigments and Twinkling H2Os:
Here is one table covered with samples of lettering done by the class on the second day:
These two were done by a left-handed calligrapher using a parallel pen:

Beautiful stuff going on here. I really like the PearlEx and Twinkling H2Os on the black--really stunning.
WOW Roann! Almost anything looks good on black but these are spectacular!
I would love to be able to do this.

Hello Ro...this stuff is gorgeous, wish I had the patience to learn it.

Great stuff Roann!

I just viewed your Africa book. Wow is that incredible! I love all the colors, prints and journaling you put into it. What an inspiration. I love to travel and have something to inspire to. Im doing an Alaska journal now.
Trish,
Just to clarify, the Africa book was made by Lynn Slevinsky from Calgary, Canada. And, yes, it is beautiful and amazing to see all the detail she put into it!
Thanks for commenting!
Oh Roann...gorgeous results! And what a great excercise! Having references to how different paints and inks react on different surfaces is so important. I be everyone had a ball.
I must do more work on black!
Love and brightest blessings,

Your talent is amazing. Thank you for not hiding it. I stood before your piece in the Newberry and memorized parts of it - not just the words but the composition. And then when it was so beautifully hung at conference, I again stood in that marvelous space and took soul pictures of it. Thank you Roann. In your art you give much.
The color contrast on the black is really great. Something I will definately try in my scrapbooks
