Another helpful video to remind us to practice every day. The idea of using tracing paper to help getting the " swing " of the stroke was something I never thought to do. I am 76, started making quill pens when 11. Had inky fingers since then. It is a badge of honor. Never leave the house without at least 3 fountain pens. I love the beautiful music you play.
"Calligraphy Friends"... I barely have "friends" 😂 great video!
Old english to Gothic now Fraktur . all while avoiding copperplate which everyone loves lol ... its on the to do list haha
You are so right! I deal with byzantine calligraphy for many years which have different ethics but your advice on calligraphy are absolutely valid, I think, in every case.
So true! On all things in life!
Amazing
Thanks for your enjoyable and practical tutorials. Loved your video of your currently owned pens.
Thank you so much 😊
Hi! I started practicing foundational calligraphy a couple of years ago. I am currently focusing on Carolingian. At the same time, I'm attending to several courses on Paleography. I found your channel looking for videos about calligraphy. Greetings from Madrid, Spain!
Thank you for the video, it gave me some items to try.
you are one of the first videos I watched on calligraphy. I’ve been watch and practicing for about a year.
I'm so glad to hear that! Wishing you the best in your calligraphy journey :)
I never would have thought you have only been doing for 5 years. Your style is beautiful !
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you!
I practiced using highlighters lol. And I have penpals to remind me to practice!
gothic textura quadrata! and your video is the first I fell in love with, now to oggle at your video on your medieval calligraphy book collection!!!1
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you 😊
Thanks very much for another fab' video. I really like the Uncial script that you taught in another video. x
That one will always be one of my favorites!
I've wanted to learn uncial ever since I saw the Book of Kells as a child. It's just so neat and tidy but playful at the same time.
I thoroughly enjoyed this! I felt every single tip as if I was reliving my own "aha!" moment 😂. Also, your humour is charming. Lovely video.
🪢Thank you 🪢
Thank you so much!
ohh im learning calligraphy again since my school year is almost over so this came at a neat time ❤️❤️
Amazing!
thank you so much!
☺️❤️
uncial is probably my favorite, I’d really like to learn it, also your cat is adorable 🥰
That makes me so happy to hear! It's my favorite as well 😊
I started with uncial last year. When I searched for more tutorials on it, I found your channel.
That's awesome, thank you ❤️
"if you don't like paper you can just do calligraphy on the walls" - every graffiti writer watching this like "eeeehm, it's not that I don't like paper"..
I started with Spencerian, then went to Batarde, I'm currently chewing on Italic and Trajan scripts :).
Practice Practice Practice. Muscle memory is key. I've just come across your videos. Probably because l have been trying to find information or tutorial on insular Irish, ie Book of Kells. There is very little out there on the process. Could you suggest something? Thanks in advance
What are your thoughts on medieval Glagolitic and Cyrillic calligraphy?
I have never found a fountain pen set with stub a nib under 1.0mm except for the manuscript calligraphy set! with nice crisp lines too! Do you know of any other brands that have small stubs like that?
What is the print style called at the 6:22 mark on this video in your journal? I really want to learn out to print like that.
I always forgot to do the drills 😂😂😂
Haha it happens!
Have you read Ross King’s recent book “The Bookseller of Florence”? He refers to a “new” style of “antique lettering” that Vespasiano, the bookseller, favored. Do you have any interest in this style and any tutorials or other resources you would recommend to learn more about that? Thank you for your help.
Coincidentally, I just bought this book a couple of weeks ago! Haven't gotten to it yet, but I'll definitely comment on it via IG when I do.
Is the last nib the 1.9?
What kind of nib are you using? I can never get such thick strokes
Which book is she using at 6:30?
Have you ever used real feather for writting caligraphy ? Or reed pen ? Or just a flat small wood rectangular pen.....?
Thouse were used widely in the past just becouse there were easy to procure, to have......
I haven't! But I do have plans to, including preparing and cutting my own quill.
I know, you said, you don't like it and apologies for asking, but Will you do copperplate tutorial? 👉👈
No need to apologize! But I will not, unfortunately. I want to focus on Medieval styles, and I do plan on teaching more of them in the future!
I'd love to learn medival styles too! Your tutorials are very useful ♥️
@@wieza771 I'm so glad to hear that!
Am I the only one who was getting anxious that she was not petting the cat?
The video I wish I had viewed when I first started calligraphy 🥲❤️
