Have you wanted to learn Brush Calligraphy but didn’t think you could? Maybe it hasn’t clicked for you yet? Whether you want to make cards, decorate your planner, or just have a relaxing hobby for yourself, I break this art form down into digestible parts for you to practice. Having taught thousands of people how to do calligraphy and my background in teaching, I have picked up tricks and tips to help you along the way – while having some fun.
Purchase this brush calligraphy class as a gift to yourself or your friends and family, and pair it with a bundle of Beginner Calligraphy Supplies!
My favorite supplies for beginners include:
- One bigger brush pen:
- Karin Brush Markers (a great bigger brush pen)
- Zig Kuretake Brushables
- One smaller brush pen:
- Tombow Fudenosuke soft tip brush pen (a great small brush)
- Pentel Sign Brush Pen
- Marvy Le Pen Flex
- Marker paper (or other smooth paper) OR tracing paper to put on top of the printed worksheets
More recommendations for a beginner calligraphy supply kit can be found locally at Wet Paint Art (St. Paul, Minnesota) or here.
