I have always loved calligraphy! I remembered when I was a kid, my notebooks were filled with a thousand lettering doodles of names of my friends, our crushes and what not, written in different styles. Lately, I have been practicing again and just recently, I was invited to do a workshop on how to do calligraphy. Of course I said yes but I don't wish to go on teaching others without having read some materials about calligraphy. This is the first book I saw that was free and automatically downloaded it. Now, I feel like I'm totally ready to do this workshop and teach others the wonderful art of calligraphy from both my experience and from what I have learned in this book.
An excellent guide to calligraphy, the book is beautiful, well worth reading. It is a great guide to enhance your handwriting and helps you practice the art of fine handwriting. With this book it showed me techniques and skills used hundreds of years ago to perfect calligraphy and gothic writing. This is a wonderful book and I recommend it to people that want to improve their handwriting. Kudos to the author.
I think this book can indeed be anyone's definitive guide in learning and even mastering Calligraphy. It has given enough discussions on how one can do. The topic has been arranged in such a way that comprehension will slowly build up. Topics like how to gather and put the materials you will need, the difference between strokes, what to do when you feel that your attempts are failing, and so much more. I think this has been educational.
Excellent! I ordered this book to learn calligraphy. I did this with the intention of writing the names and addresses on my wedding invitations. I love the way this book breaks down basic information for writing calligraphy. Instructions for hand positioning, and counting strokes were great and easy to follow. The book was broken up into separate font sections after the general information. I looked through the fonts and picked the one I wanted to learn for my invitations, and started learning. Really worth recommending!
