Brush lettering is one of the most popular styles in modern calligraphy, it has an ancient tradition and since it takes lot of practice to get good results, it’s very important to know the rules behind this tool before practice. We will start with exercises by brush pen on a model based on an italic alphabet model, and we will experiment with real brushes and watercolours on the second day.
