This course teaches you about calligraphy, which is the origin and foundation of all letterforms. It doesn’t matter if you’re an aspiring type designer or lettering artist, or simply someone who wants to write beautifully, because this course provides a starting point for learning any calligraphic style. Ina Saltz will guide you through the process of writing basic italic forms using a broad-edged pen. You’ll first learn about the necessary materials and how to prepare your writing surface. Then, you’ll progress from writing small letters to capital letters, numbers, and punctuation. Ina also covers topics such as writing with smaller nib sizes, adding flourishes, using color, and providing advice for left-handed individuals interested in calligraphy.
