Description

Engrosser's calligraphy for anyone with a hankering to learn about this elegant craft, and how to use ovals to build your letters systematically and beautifully, not to be missed! In the course I give a rundown of how you use ovals to build what are called miniscules, which is fancy speak for small letters, and majuscules, their capital counterparts. They are structured in a way that I believe is far easier to digest and use practically, as it was how I would have wanted to learn years ago when I first started out with this artform. Needless to say it will be worth it as I hold your hand and show you how the ovals relate to one another in the wordforms and how integral they are to spacing, curves and so much more. I even follow it up with a short course on how you build numbers using the same techniques you use for miniscules and majuscules, definitely a course that is valuable for anyone looking to learn about Engrosser's, or just to have a looksie and see if there's any new info that you didn't know about, either way it's a solid win in my book! So do have a go, and remember, keep learning and keep creating, never stop!
