Gentle Dragon

Design

Early 15th century French, based upon Hours of the Cross: Compline (Waters 237, fol. 103; Cat. No. 17). Reproduced in "Time Sanctified, The Book of Hours in Medieval Art and Life," Roger S. Wieck, plate 28, pg 88. White work done using diluted white gouache with a crow-quill metal nib pen. Gold leaf done using methods previously described.

Hand

Gothic, Drogin pg. 139. All serifs and capitals done with the regular nib during normal calligraphy, rather than being added later with a marker as in my previous Gothic scroll (Scroll 3).
