Foundations Of Calligraphy

Started to practice calligraphy again I always love it. However I had a hard time in the class when I took it at art school. I had to master the techniques in 15 weeks. Very stressful. I remember my instructor told that to master calligraphy you would have to practice every day for 3 years. I guess that how he became a pro. It’s very relaxing and I am having so much fun creating and constructing Roman capitals letterforms.

You don’t need many things get stared. Here are supply Lists for beginners. • Brause Set of 9 nibs • A penholder to put nibs in. • An ink well to put ink in. • Best Bottle Sumi Ink • Practice Pads 11x17 from JNB • Strathmore calligraphy paper • Paper towels • A jar of water to wash ink off. • A paint brush.

A great book I recommend is Foundations Of Calligraphy By Sheila Waters.
