• Oh the dilemma of whether to add more leaves, florals, gems or to leave it as is before I botch it all up! 😆 ——- Hope you guys are enjoying your week and finding time to be outdoors in nature 🌱🌺 so many snippets of God’s marvelous creation to behold. ——- Written with Gillott 404, walnut ink on @cansonusa XL cold pressed watercolor paper. The walnut ink softens up the lines and the Gillott works great on slightly textured paper 👍🏼✨

  • How do you flourish a word like “little” with so many ascending stem loops and letters next to each other? 🤔 One of my #fearlessflourishing students asked this in our community group and it prompted me to pick up my pencil and sketch out some ideas. I love learning alongside my students. When flourishing, I try not to overdo it to maintain legibility, but also bring in some visual interest and connect strokes when I can. I’m leaning more towards the top two variations...what do you think? 😊 If you’re up for a challenge this week, try flourishing more variations of this word “little” or “Egypt” (that’s next on my list)!! 💞 ——— #copperplate #copperplatecalligraphy #pencilcalligraphy #flourishing #logoscalligraphy

  • Nib Exercises + Basic Strokes ❤️ Not only are these so calming and therapeutic, they are two categories that cannot be overlooked! There’s so much to learn and master in these exercises & strokes even BEFORE you begin learning the letterforms. As you guys have seen my progress and journey in Copperplate over the years...I hope you know that there’s no shortcut or ways to “make it look so easy”. It took discipline, hard work, & consistent practice in these foundations that really helped solidify my script 👊🏼😌💕 ——— I’ve been getting a lot of messages recently, so wanted to let you know that my Copperplate Foundations online course will open for registration 👉🏼November 16! 👈🏼 We cover all this and SO much more. Over the next weeks, I’ll be sharing snippets of what you can expect, what this course covers, if it’s right for you, etc. If you have been itching to learn this classic and timeless script, I’d love for you to join the #copperplatefoundations #copperplatewithlogos community for 2020 ✨ ——— Hunt 22b nib using Dr. Ph Martin Bleedproof White Ink

  • Persevere ❤️ I wrote this word on one of my first practice sheets in 2014 and then rewrote it at the beginning of 2020. When I first started my journey, I had a lot of self doubt. I couldn’t find much resources for lefties, was overwhelmed, discouraged, and wondered if I could really get the hang of this calligraphy thing. In the midst of all those feelings, I wrote “persevere” to tell myself it’s too early to give up. Take it one step at a time. Well 6 years later, I’m still here and falling deeper and deeper in love with this form of art. The fact that I get to teach and share it with you all is really an icing on the cake 😌🙏🏼 ——- If you are just beginning, hope this encourages you to also persevere, endure through the seasons. The resources now are plenty and there are so many online courses now compared to when I first started. Don’t give up, the reward and blessings are sure to come! 💞 ——- Hunt 22B nib on @johnnealbookseller Copperplate pad. Inks are written out on the third pic ✨
