Evening Presentation:

**Lynn Friedberg’s exemplar had a few colorful words she lettered in black Uncial with bright accented shadowing. After a brief introduction to Uncial for the newer members, she asked us to write a 4-5 lettered word or name in Uncial before showing us how to lightly pencil in the white space on the ‘shadow’ side of each letter.  She showed us how to use a white or cream-colored pencil to facilitate blending the colors to come.  Next, she suggested adding a light-colored shadow just up to the pencil line.  The second color was to be a bit darker, with a third color to accentuate it all.  The results were really lovely.
