Nice work.

Some artist and still practical writing technic.

[madarasz1910]

Thank you very much. I suggest that you go to the website iampeth.com and take a look at the lessons and you will learn much about how to do this. It just takes time to do it. Begin with the copperplate lessons by some of the old master penmen such as Lupfer or Baird.

Calligraphy has always caught my eye, especially Spencerian Script. So, I am a total beginner. I am wondering how you learned the Spencerian font? (Did you get a book on how to do it?) I know there is also several different types of ink out there, what ink would you recommend? I love it! Keep up the good work! :)

I don't know if you saw my last post for you, but in any case, I use a Palmer #2, sometimes the Leonardt or Principality #1. Thanks for asking! Hope you like the work. Don

What kind of nibs do you use?

[madarasz1910]

Thank you. You are correct in your assessment and I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. I am so glad you like it! My best to you!

Perfect. The most impressive thing is that one can make this script even with a regular pen and it will still elegant.
