How do I start learning calligraphy?
Here are some tips on how to start learning calligraphy:
1. **Choose a calligraphy script.** There are many different types of calligraphy scripts, so it's important to choose one that you're interested in and that seems like a good fit for your skill level. Some popular calligraphy scripts include Copperplate, Spencerian, and Brush Script.
2. **Get the right supplies.** You'll need some basic calligraphy supplies to get started, such as a pen, ink, and paper. You can find these supplies at most art stores.
3. **Learn the basic strokes.** Each calligraphy script has its own set of basic strokes. Once you know the basic strokes, you can start to practice writing letters.
4. **Practice, practice, practice!** The more you practice, the better your calligraphy will become. It's important to be patient and not get discouraged if your handwriting doesn't look perfect right away.
5. **Find a calligraphy community.** There are many online and offline communities where you can connect with other calligraphers and learn from each other. Joining a calligraphy community can be a great way to stay motivated and learn new techniques.
Here are some additional tips that may help you learn calligraphy:
* Start with simple exercises and gradually work your way up to more complex ones.
* Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes when they're learning a new skill. The important thing is to keep practicing and learning from your mistakes.
* Find a comfortable and supportive environment to practice in. You'll be more likely to stick with it if you're enjoying yourself.
* Set realistic goals for yourself. Don't expect to become a master calligrapher overnight. Just focus on improving a little bit each day.
* Have fun! Calligraphy is a great way to express your creativity and relax. So enjoy the process and don't take it too seriously.

La calligraphie est l'art d'écrire des scripts de manière à exprimer la beauté de ce qui est écrit dans la formation des lettres elles-mêmes.
La calligraphie revendique des racines anciennes dans les premières formes d'expression enregistrées : les peintures rupestres de nos ancêtres il y a environ 25 000 à 30 000 ans. Finalement, cette forme de communication picturale s'est stylisée vers 3500 av. avec le développement des hiéroglyphes égyptiens. Les Phéniciens ont suivi vers 1000 av. avec l'un des premiers alphabets - un système d'écriture entièrement différent en ce que chaque symbole représentait un son plutôt qu'une idée ou une image. L'alphabet phénicien a été adopté et modifié par de nombreux peuples, dont les Grecs. Les Romains ont repris l'alphabet grec et l'ont adapté au latin.
Le latin nous amène aux débuts de ce que beaucoup de gens considèrent comme la calligraphie moderne. C'était la langue des églises toutes puissantes du Moyen Âge lorsque les moines étaient parmi les seuls membres alphabétisés de la société. L'une de leurs tâches consistait à mettre la parole de Dieu sur papier, en gravant des textes anciens dans des volumes ornementaux à lire par la sainte élite et la royauté. Les moines imprègnent l'écriture d'un style florissant qui magnifie les lettres elles-mêmes comme pour rendre les inscriptions dignes des paroles saintes qu'elles véhiculent. Le style était également économiquement étroit pour économiser du papier coûteux. Il est devenu connu sous le nom de gothique et était la forme originale de la calligraphie européenne telle que nous la concevons aujourd'hui.

I want to learn how to do Mediaeval calligraphy. Will a course focusing on Modern calligraphy adapt? Can you let me know, please Thank you Penny Adie
Hi Penny. Thanks for asking. Unfortunately Modern Calligraphy does not work as a style for Mediaeval calligraphy. Gothic calligraphy is the best style for this kind of work. If you would like to learn in-person at 'Calligraphy Arts HQ' I have a number of Anything Goes' 1-day classes. The next one on the 24th March 2024 can be found here: https://calligraphyartsuk.com/en-gb/workshops-and-classes/893-anything-goes-calligraphy-class-24th-march-2024.html
I'm having difficulty getting the liquid gouache to stay on the nib for copperplate. should i dilute and if so how much? thank you so much
Hi Alison,
The White gouache should be good to work with straight out of the bottle. Just be sure that the contents have been well shaken or stirred before use. If you think the gouache is too thick (perhaps because the lid may have been left off for a period of time) then diluting it with a few drops of water will be okay.
Kind regards,
Jane
