    FRIDAY,  September11, 2026,  6:30-8PM PST  

    Annie Lawrence will lead us through drawing serifed Romans with three different tools.


    No charge for these Study Group Sessions. They are often led by members, who do not claim to be masters, sharing what they have learned. There is no requirement to have attended prior sessions. The aim is to share knowledge with newbies and to provide a refresher for those with more experience. Each individual Romans Study Group session requires separate registration. We plan to record this session. Kristi asks that you remind her! Recording will be available for three months. 

    Flexible Schedule for the evening:

    6:30 - 6:45 Announcements and share work from past sessions. 

    6:45 - 7:45 Annie  will demo.

    7:45 - 8:00 An opportunity for those who wish to share what they've completed before or during this session--we always love to see what our fellow lettering artists are up to. Also, there is time to ask more questions of our speaker.

    SUPPLY LIST 

        Annie likes to work with different tools for her Romans with serifs--sometimes more than three.

    1. Broadedge pens, (I especially like the #6 Mitchell),  parallel pens, especially the pink 3.0. It fits our 1/2" paper we are using.

    2. Pencil, your favorite, I love the clutch pencils with soft lead. Mine is Koh-i-noor Technigraph 5611, the lead Staedler Mars Carbon lead 2mm- 2H you can get (if you want) on Amazon. But a number 2 pencil is fine too. 

    3. I also like the Hoyer ruling pen. Since it is no longer available, we can try other ruling pens. 

    3. Sumi ink or I also like any color gouache mixed to ink consistency.

    4. Graph paper if you don't want to draw guide lines or nicer paper with 1/2" guide lines.
