Jewel Tones Art Nouveau

It’s amazing how the introduction of color into lettering can make a piece sing!   The client here requested a jewel tone palette and gave me enough background information about the recipient to craft a piece of art that captures an aspect of her essence.

Classic Style Certificate

Gothic, Versal, and Uncial lettering styles in addition to elaborate illumination, raised gold leaf, and a tight ruling pen border combine here to serve the vision of a classical award, in keeping with the nature of the recipient.  I always work with clients to determine for whom the piece is to be created prior to making decisions about color, lettering styles and layout.   Time put in at the front end always pays off in the creation of truly one-of-a-kind art!
