Description

This kit includes everything the beginning calligrapher needs. The 32-page lesson book offers basic information about the art of calligraphy, including tips on handling the pen, using suitable paper, and mastering the calligraphy strokes. The book does not include your typical lessons, but instead portrays several complete upper and lower case alphabets in different calligraphy styles. Before each style is portrayed, several practice strokes are given to help you familiarize yourself with the basic strokes you'll need to complete that style of writing. Then the complete alphabet is given, once showing the strokes so you can easily follow along, and once without so you can see what the finished letters should look like. Numerals are also covered in the back of the book. Included in the kit is a calligraphy pen with 3 different nibs (tips), 8 ink cartridges in varying colors, 3 felt tip calligraphy markers, calligraphy paper as well as a pad of practice paper, and a guideline sheet. - Melissa
