What you'll do
Learn to create beautiful calligraphy traditionally, using a broad-edge nib. The thick and thin variation comes from the angle of the pen, not from the pressure you apply. Within the course, you will try different-sized nibs to work at different scales and discover how to form the italicised letters gracefully. Learning the rules of this formal style is a great way to improve your pen control, even if your first love is modern styles. With a rhythmic movement, this style epitomises the dance of the pen and will promote fluency in all your calligraphy.No previous experience is required, nor is any special artistic talent, just the desire to learn and to practise.
- Week 1: Understanding your tools, guidelines, and paper position. Skeleton Italics and letter formation groups.
- Week 2: Weighted Italics in pencil, serifs, and spacing.
- Week 3: Words, inks, and scaling down with nibs. Consistency and rhythm.
- Week 4: Italic Capitals and lettering groups. Using Gouache.
- Week 5: Simple composition using different-sized nibs.
