Description
Brush calligraphy is different from traditional style in tools and in how the letters look. There is a modern, unstructured flair but with rules that make the finished look cohesive and pleasing to the eye. You can use brush markers or an actual watercolor paintbrush, and the paper used will vary accordingly. The explanations and instructions are very clear and encouraging. Six tear-out practice cards in the back can be framed or shared as gifts themselves.
