The class starts from the stroke, not the alphabet. The eight basic strokes, plus a handful of modified versions, are the building blocks, and letters only come after you have drilled them.
It is pitched at beginners. For anyone who has been copying letters without drilling the underlying shapes, the stroke-first approach is a useful reset, and experienced writers who need a refresher on fundamentals will find it worthwhile too.
The materials list is specific: a pointed nib, a dual-use pen and sumi ink are named, and a printed guidesheet lets you write along with the lessons.
Welcome to your ultimate guide in modern calligraphy! After about a year of teaching dozens of workshops, I finally decided to launch my class online! This class has everything you need to know to get started on the right foot for modern calligraphy: supplies, posture, strokes, alphabets, numbers, punctuation, and a little bit on exploring different styles.
In this class...
We'll learn the 8 basic strokes as well as several modified strokes
We'll build lowercase and uppercase letters with the strokes
Practice words, numbers, and common punctuations
Don't forget to download the guidesheet so you can write along with me!
This class is geared towards beginner calligraphers, but even the more experienced who need a refresher on the basics will appreciate this class.
Some beginner supplies I recommend are:
Nikko G nib
Manuscript straight pen or dual-use oblique pen
Sumi Ink
HP Premium laserjet paper (if you want to print out worksheets and write directly on them)
Marker paper (if you want to print worksheets on regular paper and trace)
Cleaning wipe (or alcohol wipe)
Paper towel (to clean up small messes)
Thanks, and I can't wait to see what you create!
Happy writing!
Love,
Audrey
