I had to stop the video for a minute to pre-order the book, LIndsey! I'm so excited that it has come into being and can't wait to explore your exquisite style as a teacher and calligrapher. This video was really helpful and truly meditative to watch.

This is AWESOME!!! 🎉 I absolutely L❤VE your beginners course and still working thru it, as it is packed full of soooo much goodness. Yet this is a great mini~course video to give us so much insight and practice. 🥰 You are a magnificent calligraphy teacher! 😘

Thank you so much for providing both the video and the worksheet. The Fourth of July holiday just got better.

Hi, I am hoping to learn from this work sheet enough to combine card making and calligraphy. I have fibromyalgia and hope someday to be able to sell my cards. Thank you for your generosity in providing this resource for free.

Beautiful. Great tutorial. TY.

What kind of pen is that, some sort of oblique one?

All the things I didn't know when I bought mine, thank you. Now when I do actual calligraphy instead of drawing, I'll need to change thinking/positioning, because all the things you said makes total sense in that context. I already had the regular plastic type of holder but was curious about oblique, so I bought the the plastic oblique, but it was for drawing, so I never experienced the shortfalls you mentioned for the forward positioning letter angle, I didn't know any better, so I was actually using the oblique rotated 180 degrees so that it points to the left instead of right which works well for drawing, because I'm drawing lines going away instead of towards me at about 45degrees. With the regular tip holder it was always an awkward angle with my hand or pen position in my hand like you mentioned, which was why I tried the oblique. The alignment with the (plumb-line?) was always offset, but always wondered why it didn't, and just got used to doing it that way.

That was really good!

Beautiful ❤️

Very cool! 🎉

Beautiful, i would like to learn that❤

Thank you Skylar White❤

Hahaha, BOOM baby yeah!

Fun technique! Thanks, Lindsay!

That's beautiful. Which pen do you use exactly?

Excellent, explained so very good and so simple.

So beautiful - if we wanted a cleaner edge could we use washi tape?

What kind of ink we can use with oblique pen

LOVE it. Thank you.

Ola boa noite está tudo muito perfeito. Saudações desde Brasil

That's so cool. Can you only use ink or can you use watercolors over it too? I love your tutorials and these videos are great.

Rem is adorable.

Thanks you for the tip 😊

Hey, my name doesnt have any ascendors or descendors. What am i supposed to do then?

Hi Lindsey please would you share what make the grid paper pad you are using at the end of the video is? Many thanks for all your wonderful tips!

Which ink to use with nikko g nib ? I'm facing ink bleeding issue

How&why to NOT use Sumi. It is hella overhyped overpriced diy bottled up gullible ink! The ONLY thing we need to make our own Sumi? Charcoal+.... Plain water will do and a splash of up to 2/3 the volume pure ethanol wont hurt. Because real Sumi is Suki! It isnt black its outright grey. if used in anything or just on its own in dryingnit kicks the charcoal out. Nice matte finish you think. Now touch it It is really dang similar to eastern indian stable and true pitch black stains you for a fortnight type ink Sumi is the talked up Japanese knockoff 😂

Great video! Thanks. I also believe the problem is this instant gratification world we live in-- there are individuals who expect perfection from the get-go-like work environment--it's basically everywhere-but "slow" wins the day. Best. 🎈

Thank you for the video. ❤ I'm curious to know what kind of letter I should use for quick note take, for example a todo list or class notes.

Im trying to put attention but those beautiful eyes don’t let me 😅

Interesting video! I didn't know that you could use cancelled stamps for "envelope art". I have quite a few vintage stamps that don't have a value on them. They were first class (I think) stamps from the era before "Forever" stamps, maybe the 70's, 80's, 90's. I've had trouble finding their value. You'd think the USPS would have an archive with all the stamps from every year. That would be cool, but I don't think it exists. Do you know of a source for that kind of info? So far, I've just googled a description of the stamp and sometimes I can find it, but not as easily as you'd think. Thanks if you see this!

best paper and ink for this oblique pen🙏🙏🙏

best paper and ink for this pen plz

McCaffery’s penman ink, that’s all you need.

So.Very. Precious. Thank you for reminding me the joy of having children around, 24/7 as an artist. 🪹🌼💦

Aww…the little one is helping out. I love it!!!

Mind writing Jax?😆that is beautiful by the way😍

Well, when I write my name to fill out forms, I write it in all caps while using ligature (the letters connect). When I sign my name, it's lowercase except the first letter and my last name… well, the first two letters are recognizable and the rest is a line with two pips.

Can black and silver ink available on Amazon.... How to use this nib pen and is available on Amazon or any other site

what if you go by initials for your first name?

Здравствуйте, а у вас есть обзор на туш / чернила для каллиграфии?

Great job, nice work 👏

I just partially reconstituted a calligraphy gold ink earlier today. So, I'll be leaving it overnight for the remaining to moisten back to it's original consistency. Great video & beautiful penmanship!!!

I needed this. Thank you

You are a talented Calligrapher however not a good painter!
