So I’m pretty much a calligraphy expert…just kidding! I actually started doing calligraphy just a couple of weeks ago. I bought ALL of the pens and ALL of the books, and guess what? None of the pens or books made me magically amazing at calligraphy. Bummer! After trying several pens and reading tons of books, I was frustrated that it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.
BUT don’t worry! I finally figured out that all you really need to know is just a few SIMPLE basics. There’s no reason to overcomplicate it, especially when we are just beginning. So, I’m here to teach you the simple basics. Don’t waste your money on ALL of the supplies because it isn’t necessary. All you need is a few basic supplies, and a few simple techniques and you’ll be good to go.
