Description: | Calligraphic panel painted in black, green, and yellow watercolour on white layout paper; each line of the verse is executed in a different style, colour, or size, with 'Lo' being treated as a kind of simple illuminated capital; this is one compositional alternative of four drafts experimenting with the phrase; in this case each line of the verse is treated as a separate block of text on several lines with varied justification so achieving overall balance and interest; Ann Hechle refers to it as Sketch C and describes it as a 'vertical format' which 'allows a better space and emphasis for each phrase', this arrangement also maintains the reading sequence of the lines and the flourish of the two 'g's at the bottom-right now works to balance the elaboration of 'Lo' at the top-left; thus this version was chosen as the basis for the finished item since it combined legibility with visual interest Part Of Series: BBC film 'In the Making' | Subjects: | Ann Hechle Visit draft poetry calligraphic sheet demonstration | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Calligrapher: Ann Hechle | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=2249... | Go to resource |
