3 spots left in my brush calligraphy workshop! ✨ . Wanting to learn brush calligraphy? If you live near Modesto, CA - I’m teaching a workshop this Saturday, June 23rd! Click on the link in my bio to sign up! 💛 . I’ll be teaching at my sister-in-law Holly’s downtown studio. She does such a great job of putting on lovely workshops and teaching people the art of calligraphy! It’s crazy to me that she wants me to come teach when she is such a great teacher and calligrapher herself. But I guess that’s just what #communityovercompetition is all about! 💛 . It’s been so fun to share this love of calligraphy with her because I always know there’s someone I can gush about letters and supplies with. 😝 . If you love gorgeous photos & calligraphy go follow her @hollyannacalligraphy 💕 She also has a lot of other great workshops that you should check out, including Watercolor Brush Lettering, Beginner Calligraphy, Intermediate Calligraphy, Loom Weaving with @mod_fox, & Watercolor Florals with @kyleeb_art 💛 . Ps. Gorgeous photo by my lovely friend @stephanie.elainekauffman 🌿
Practice, practice, practice. ✨ . Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. The easiest way to get better at something is through practice. You don’t need to be a natural the very first time you try something to be great at it. It takes a long time to master a skill! . So, you have to decide. Is this important enough to set aside the time to practice? If it isn’t (and it’s okay if it isn’t!), then don’t be upset if you aren’t very good at it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But if it is, set aside at least 5 minutes a day to grab a pen and practice letters or strokes. Even that little amount of practice will start to add up! . This page is part of my Brush Calligraphy Guide- it’s available in my @Etsy shop as a digital download. And the pen I’m using is a pink Pentel Fude Touch. . I love this picture taken by my dear friend @stephanie.elainekauffman 🌿 She is absolutely a great person to follow for positivity & inspiration!
May 2018 👉🏻 May 2015 . More practice, but still the same dream vacay. 💁🏼‍♀️ I am hoping that one day my husband and I can have a dreamy trip to Italy! . Week one of the May #lettermore2018 prompts is the number one place you want to travel to. And I’ve always wanted to go to Italy! (It may be because of the Lizzie McGuire Movie, but I’m not totally sure. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️) . Also, it’s ALWAYS helpful to remake something you’ve lettered before to see how much you have grown in skill! . Where do you want to travel to? ✈️ Also, anyone else still mildly obsessed with Lizzie McGuire? #heynowheynow #thisiswhatdreamsaremadeof
So many pens, so little time. ✍🏻 . Looking for the right brush pen for you? Here are four popular pens & how they write! Different pens give you different sized strokes/styles letters. . Swipe 👉🏻 for a video to see the pens in action! Which one do you like the best? 💛
June is here & we are ready! 🌻 . The summer months tend to bring extra travels for a lot of us, so this month will feature a travel theme. There is one prompt per week & no pressure to join in. You can do all the prompts or just a few, it’s up to you! . Week One: Letter the name of the #1 place on your travel wish list. Week Two: Letter your best travel advice. Week Three: Letter the name of your favorite place you’ve ever traveled to. Week Four: Use the word TRAVEL somehow . COMMENT below if you’re joining in! ✈️ Be sure to use the hashtag #lettermore2018 & tag me as well! Also, go to the website for more info on each prompt/examples. Plus some info about what to put in the caption. Can’t wait to see what you create! 💛
What is your favorite pen? ✍🏻 . Myth: If you just had a better brush pen, then you would be able to create better calligraphy. . Reality: You can create beautiful calligraphy with anything (even a pencil) if you practice enough! . Here are four of my favorite pens, left to right: Crayola Marker, Zig Real Brush Pen, Pentel Fude Touch, & Artline Stix. All of these are great for beginners and up! . Thank you to my beautiful friend @stephanie.elainekauffman for taking some gorgeous photos of my pens and letters! You guys should really go follow her- she is so sweet & very talented! 😍 . PS. I’m teaching a brush pen workshop in June! If you live near Modesto, CA you should sign up! Click on the link in my profile! ✨
