Try your hand at a beautiful, classic and modern style of writing!
A basic, how-to book for beginners featuring 5 popular fonts or
hands, Italic, Uncial, Foundational, Gothic, and Casual Pointed
Pen, shown in step-by-step detail. The author, an experienced
teacher of calligraphy, builds the letters, numbers, and
punctuation, giving over 300 photos for each style, so beginners
can see the strokes, how the pen is held, and how the characters
take form. Pens, papers, inks-all the tools are covered along with
necessary techniques, so beginners can use this workbook approach
to build mastery of a full range of hands-from the oldest, most
traditional to contemporary-quickly and confidently.
