Modern Calligraphy: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started in Script Calligraphy
Description
A perfect gift for anyone who wants to learn the “write” way to craft
calligraphy. Calligraphy is about creating something uniquely beautiful,
whether to celebrate a special occasion like marriage or to use every day in
the form of stationery. Author Molly Suber Thorpe, an award-winning wedding
invitation designer and calligrapher based in Los Angeles, works closely with
her international clients to give them the distinctive products they’re
looking for. In Modern Calligraphy, you can learn from this experienced expert
how to master this fresh modern lettering style. The first book to teach this
bold new style breaks the calligraphy process down into simple steps so anyone
can learn to create their own stunning wedding invitations, thank you cards,
gift tags, and more. Starting with an overview of the supplies―from paper to
ink to pens―you will learn how to form letters, words, and then phrases by
following Molly’s clear step-by-step instructions, and by practicing with the
provided templates. After mastering letter forms using a pointed pen and ink
you can take it to the next level by learning how to use watercolor and
gouache, or how to digitize your calligraphy. The twenty projects in the book
provide lots of inspiration for making your own and are grouped into three
sections: weddings, entertainment, and personal stationery. With loads of
ideas, practice exercises, and helpful tips, soon you will be turning out
gorgeous script calligraphy pieces like the ones featured in wedding magazines
and popular websites like Pinterest. Read more
