Hi!
I just tried to repeat Salman's work. This is my first experience with Pilot Parallel Pen.

Andrew, in addition to your calligraphy, what I really enjoy about your posts is the composition and technique of the photography, and the way it creates depth in a two-dimensional medium.

This is one of my favourites Bob. These are from some time ago and I probably have shared them before.

 

This one is done on Kraft paper with Dr. Martin's Bleedproof White.

 

 

 

This was written with masking fluid and then painted over. I misjudged the Italic part and replaced the last 'one' with 'it' to center it :-)

Good idea, font and color combination, Prasad.

I liked this.

I think, it was necessary to center all the text for the best composition, not just the main phrase in Latin.​

 

Thanks fro sharing, ​Andrew.
