This final project was my first for the intermediate class. I used black gauche, a browse nib for the body of the project and the title was written with my favorite Winsor Newton Series 7 Kolinsky brush.
Back in those days, I discovered the Pentel acrylic fountain brush but it was expensive and hard to find. In fact, I could only get them through my art instructor and I don’t know exactly where she found them. Now you can buy them in all c olors at Hobby Lobby for a few bucks.
There are several in different colors in my purse and I use them for all kinds of lettering. Peole love to see their names handwritten in calligraphy. But I am so out of practice.

It is such a beautiful art form. Once upon a time my father (sperm donor) wrote me a lovely letter all in caligraphy.

Oh you should start right now. Buy a calligraphy marker and start writing letters over and over again. Write write write!

A marker? What’s that?
I have al these different metal nibs, and I usually use the same ink I use for drawing.
