[@joefrank7531]

Love any calligraphy masters video in real time, especially Suzanne Cunningham.

[@ajaymusham]

This is like watching sea waves on a beautiful day. Blissfully artistic and poetic. Like feeling a gentle breeze of air and don't want to do anything. Thanks for showing how beautiful and lively what calligraphy is!

[@ame8285]

As someone just beginning Calligraphy i am starting to be able to appreciate the level of diffculty involved in using a dip pen, and let me tell you, watching you write is like poetry in motion!! It is beautiful and inspirational!! I hope to one day be as skilled as you :)

[@CalligraphyMasters]

If you practice & don't give up you will be !! Thanks for watching :)

[@honeyowen3163]

5 years later and how's it going? I'm going to start, I think. Tell me a couple of tips you know now but "wish you knew then". Thank you.

[@kitburns1665]

Music is perfect . . . Watching and listening is like watching the waves come. Flowing. . . . !

[@jamin6517]

How long does it (typically) take a beginner to master the basics of Copperplate? I just started but I’m also a lefty-seems more challenging.

[@SuperPatman45]

as a ballerina has her solo moment under light and crowd, the transitions from letter to letter , as if the dancer is alone and in love with her last movements and the story keeps unfolding as yo whip into more turns and grace. the tip and ink love you, and you it. your gift to us is noticed and appreciated. i thank you and our lord for blessing us all with your gifts for us. happy flowing and writing dear. your just as amazing as this wonderful and gentle music that seems to follow your fingers as you compose this symphony of bright and enlightened lettering. a seasoned artist , you are . thank u

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Thank you for the wonderful kind words !! Such a poetic comment :)) Thank you for watching !! :)

[@robertlassiter5808]

IMHO, she is the best I’ve seen on KZbin.

[@laurgresh]

Your lettering and creations are as smooth, soothing and relaxing as they are beautiful. Thank You for sharing the process, Suzanne. You are truly an inspiration.

[@caduceus33]

Suzanne, it is hard to fathom how you can have so much control to accomplish this writing. Its probably an art you have practiced for more than one lifetime!

[@popioan8049]

I just started out practicing calligraphy and whenever I feel my neurons are going to pop like popcorn because of a failed stroke, I watch things such as this one and, recharged with inspiration, I keep going. Thank you!

[@maj-lenaskagerlund3118]

I love to watch this before I go to sleep . It is like balm for the heart and soul and put my mind at ease . Incredibly beautiful ❤️ If I could wish for something more , it would be the nibs scratching against the paper , "behind" the music . Thank you 🙏🏆🙏

[@rossfletcher4362]

That was wonderful to watch, so graceful, masterful. Loved it, now to practice.

[@arlenepadden1243]

Gorgeous!! Such a pleasure and inspiration to watch you execute this beautiful Flourished Copperplate and Modern script Suzanne, it is memorizing, and the music complements your beautiful script.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you like it!! Thank you for watching ;)

[@Csoery]

Suzanne, I swear your hand is more stable than a printer. Amazing how consistent and beautiful your letters are. I think I'm like 1000 hours of practice away from such consistency. Mabye 2000h... :) Love your work!!!!! Thanks for the vid!

[@karenknight5478]

Wow! Just WOW!!! I bought my first ever oblique pen & nibs recently so I have a MAJOR learning curve ahead. What an inspiration. Thank you.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you like it!! Thank you for watching & #KeepWriting 😍🔥👊

[@rmunoz240]

Thank you Suzanne for all that you do. Simply beautiful !

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Ricardo Munoz-Nino thank you for the kind words & for watching 😊

[@BudFieldsPPTS]

Given my disposition, I cannot image how stressful this video was for you to prepare and present. I can tell you, however that it was exquisitely relaxing to watch you work. Thank you for that.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Not really stressing, thank you for watching though

[@danagalloway1217]

I could watch Suzanne's calligraphy all day long 😍

[@sharonsamuel9987]

I have rarely seen anything as exquisite and beautiful as how you form letters... It's breathtaking. ... I thought I could do reasonable calligraphy, but my efforts are juvenile compared with yours. I would just love to create such beauty!

[@SnowPheasant]

Absolutely amazing! I'll definitely try prepping the nib :) Wonder if there's some way you could DIY a spring to the back of a nib as an ink resivoir?

[@SnowPheasant]

Calligraphy Masters Will do!

[@molamola7344]

Yes it works: I hot glued it one to mine and it works perfectly :)

[@SnowPheasant]

Mola Mola that's awesome! What kind of spring did you use?

[@molamola7344]

From an old ballpoint pen :D I just cut it to the right length

[@SnowPheasant]

Mola Mola I am totally going to try that :D

[@sherryroberts7716]

Please tell me the names of what you have in your hand. What is the thing you are holding onto beside the base of the pen? Just breathtaking!

[@stingray7074]

YOU HAVE THE BEST CALLIGRAPHY WRITING I HAVE EVER SEEN !!!!!!!!

[@photoshopuser3237]

So graceful and elegant. Like meditation! Love the forms - you make it look so easy...I can't wait to try it.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you like it!! It is real meditation, when you do it yourself :) #KeepWriting 🖋😍👊

[@sashineb.2114]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. You have such incredible skill.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you like it !! Thanks for watching :)

[@llchapman1234]

Even if I never become this proficient, these videos are a pleasure to watch. Calligraphy ASMR 😊

[@tinadean8617]

Oh my gosh, absolutely beautiful !!! I need to learn to do this!! I think this is an art that should be preserved, especially sine they are no longer teaching script handwriting in schools. Well, then even since a lot of schools are taught from home due to COVID at current? Stay safe all.

[@winkprince1875]

Recently, I have been prepping my nibs with alcohol-based hand sanitizer. I rub with a bit of sanitizer, rinse, and dry with a paper towel. Works great. I mostly use vintage nibs I acquired in the 1980s when they were available at reasonable prices.

[@MarcelaPinheiro-ef3ix]

Me encantou essa caneta, maravilhosa !!

[@derunertugrul1151]

Fantastic video thanks. Which one is the smoothest? I am putting these nibs in fountain pens. But they are difficult to work on ordinary papers that we use in hospital, too scratchy. Is Gillott 404 smooth enough for copy paper?

[@karindepner3876]

Can you please tell me what nib you use for this beautiful script?

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Karin Depner all tools are linked in the description 😊😉

[@desleykakoulidisgallaway3382]

I'm just clicking thumbs up on all the wonderful comments- truly exquisite fluidity, it was a pleasure to watch, thanks

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you like it, thanks for watching :)

[@crystalllllll]

Watching you write is therapeutic for me.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Awesome !! :) Thanks for watching !!!

[@GlassWolfLH]

That gold ink was gorgeous!

[@sugarscoot09]

I am looking for a set for beginners. Any suggestions? my daughter's birthday coming up and I introduced her to calligraphy but I don't know what brand to get her? please advise. Also, very beautiful handwriting. 😍 how smooth you do it. inspiring. 😊

[@LaoZi2023]

Your music works really well with the content of the video. It's very comforting...

[@waynehartshorne7043]

Beautiful work! Would you please let me know which of these paints you used. W&N Opera rose - Water Color Tube, Designers Gouache Tube or Galeria Acrylic Paint? Thank you so much. You are soooo very talented.

[@4564006]

i want to get into Calligraphy are there any videos on the different styles? When i was little i learned cursive before print so I'm looking for a more elegant way to write. learning italic its seems unnatural and mine looks horrid i know everything takes time but maybe a different approach is whats needed.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

midgetrocks! yes there are..see our channel for more videos 😊😉

[@stewartross1233]

I'm speechless! Amazing. Thank you for the experience.

[@stefeniedavidmusic]

What an art. Beautiful work.

[@victoriaparker7184]

Hi - I have a Lamy Joy Calligraphy pen and am struggling to work out how to use it to get different thickness of strokes? Do you have any suggestions of how to use it properly for calligraphy strokes? Thanks so much!

[@jgarcia62869]

Beautiful video. I have been doing calligraphy since I was 13 years old. I absolutely love it but its been a long time. This inspires me to start practicing again. Thank you. 😊

[@xfranczeskax]

RIP the nib. :D These ink colors are all stunning, too!

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Thanks for watching!! :)

[@MarkConnely]

You must be one of the kindest, most loving and patient people on the planet. Who else could create such beauty, so beautifully?

[@ocaveira2128]

Very good👍 can you tell which exercise is good to stay like this, what did you do? Seeing you even discouraged me, gives us some tips on how to train ...

[@judeetran6493]

Gorgeous! You inspired me! Thanks for sharing your tips for nibs.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

You're most welcome Judee!! Glad we did & thank you for watching :)

[@spvone2007]

I am completely blown away. This is amazing stuff. Thank you!

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Thanks for the kind words & for watching :)))

[@maryannyounk3485]

Love the freedom when using a copperplate pen compared to regular calligraphy nibs!

[@CalligraphyMasters]

:)))

[@shanedivix9306]

I'm glad there are people in this world with your mastery! Thanks

[@robertkirk4387]

Stunning ! just stunning I could watch this all day, I've been doing this on and off for years and fear i will never be this good, wonderful.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Thank you !! Well don't fear !! Practice like crazy and soon or later you will get there :)

[@robertkirk4387]

Bloody hell ,that was Quick!! I have been told that so many times, but it's the time and dedication more than the Talent (not that I'm that good to start with), I find the hardest thing is finding something to write and yes I have tried copying poems and lyrics but , But !, here we go with the excuses, I'm not after any particular style, just good flowing hand writing, I used to spend hours marking out writing paper with lines only to not put pen to paper. O Tempora O mores . As long as somebody is keeping it alive, Regards

[@CalligraphyMasters]

I don't believe in TALENT... i think it's all about practice and dedication! YES it takes time, but just write... if you not sure about style start with 1..try another till you find what you enjoy mostly!! It's a long journey but a great one too... Good luck & thanks for watching :)

[@emeralddragonfly5430]

Absolutely beautiful, just stunning!!! Thank you for sharing

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Emerald Dragonfly thanks for watching & for your comment 😊😉

[@CH-oe5ei]

Beautiful! Take me back to my childhood...

[@vratitasharma6848]

great video which is your favorite nib for copperplate

[@Chancey464]

mesmerized...soul quieting...world disappeared...thank you

[@bucephalus1635]

Beautiful. I've always wondered why is the nib offset like that? So you can see what you're writing easier??

[@vlisdero]

Bucephalus the oblique helps keep the 55 degree slant you need to write copperplate script.

[@wangwashington258]

Amazing! Which kind of pen do you use? Who can tell me?

[@caryngerega9080]

Just amazing. You have a beautiful hand. Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Thanks for watching :) #KeepWriting

[@glosan3828]

Hello!! Thanks for your videos, its amazing to see them. Can you tell me please what nibs do you use?. What is the best brand for you? Best regards from Colombia. 🇨🇴

[@CarlaalraC22]

I am a beginner. I bought a speedball pack of nibs and they're rough on my paper. It feels like it's not gliding on my paper, more like scratching. What I get are crooked strokes and splatters. How do you keep smooth strokes??

[@jackgorham3065]

Suzanne is blessed with a magnificent talent, which she joyfully shares with us; and thus we are also blessed. Thank you for such a gift. Jack Gorham

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you enjoy it !! Thanks for watching bro!

[@scottconger1266]

Hi Suzanne, absolutely love your penmanship, what a beautyful art, im new to this art and was wondering if you turn or rotate the pen when you are writing? Or do you keep it at one spacific angle, thanks, Scott.

[@spencer4hi]

Ahhhhh, absolutely breathtaking! I do enjoy watching you write.😃thanks

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you do! Thanks for watching :)

[@81Malija]

Calligraphy Masters beautiful! I'm learning, is there a trick to get the random swirls and added flair right? I have my basic letters down, text book I can copy the added flair is where I'm struggling.

[@susananthony2084]

I have never been so in love with anything as how stunning and beautiful your calligraphy is. It's magical, breathtaking and leaves me speechless in awe. I could watch all day.

[@Kaur_Manveer]

Can you please tell from where did you get such a smooth gliding nib... 🥺🥺🥺 I had been struggling to find a good nib but couldn't even get across a decent one...😔😔 The bunch of nibs I have either blob out the ink or the ink doesn't flow at all.....😭😭 Please guide....

[@greysonvoutsas6969]

This is so beautiful. I am brand spanking new to this. Are you supposed to write with your arm making the movements or is your hand supposed to be resting on the paper and your fingers are what makes the movements?

[@fludrbywest3886]

Bravo Suzanne 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❣😘 better than a Opera or a rock concert to me ❣❣

[@CalligraphyMasters]

:))))

[@luispbaez8762]

Hi Suzanne. What is the name of the firsts makers of calligraphy equipment?. Thank's a lot.

[@DZenitram23]

I just purchased the zebra g titanium but I never saw the option with that spring, it's just to dip less correct

[@staysmartstaystrong3373]

Does a left handed person hold the penholder differently for Copperplate?

[@CalligraphyMasters]

We have 2 videos on our channel interviews with left hand calligraphers.. i think you should check them ;)

[@kathyl6677]

My nib doesn't readily go thin to thick. Does that mean I still need to take off the finish, that removing it wasn't done properly to begin with?

[@dinoilcagnolino3213]

How do you keep the pen from spattering on the up stroke?

[@CalligraphyMasters]

DINO IL CAGNOLINO just write careful and slow i guess.. 🙄

[@ladonna2793]

Wow! I am in awe of your abilities. Absolutely beautiful! Totally following as of right...now! LOL

[@VagiaPsy]

You are absolutely amazing!!! I love your art!!!🌹

[@vickeyvicknair214]

I have done calligraphy for the past 30 years and am ready to try Copperplate script. Is it really possible to teach myself thru the videos? If so, can recommend what nib & holder might be best for a beginner? Your writing is so beautiful and I want to learn.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Of course you can learn with videos, but some books will help too! There is plenty of useful information on the channel just look the playlists and find the copperplate one ;) Tools are always linked in the description! Thanks for watching & #KeepWriting 😍🙃👊

[@soulserenity2503]

Beautiful work. How did you learn copperplate?

[@khaliqmalekzada7671]

hi dear your writing is great i wish i can write like that actually i want to learn ... which type of nib is good and what kind of ink is good and also what kind of paper is good please kindly let me know all these 3 things i am living in Toronto and where can i get those stuff thank your very much :)

[@lissmmorenooficial]

Es todo un profesional. Por la delgadez de la letra se define lo profesional . Estoy estudiando pero me hace falta mucho. Lo admiro. Aprendí que debo de escribir muy despacio. Usted las forma poco a poco. Impresionante. Copperplate es bello. Pero mas bello su profesionalismo.

[@MestrePoncianinho]

Amazing ! What style did you practice most as beginner and do you teach ?

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Can't answer about the beginner style but Suzanne does teach! You can DM and ask her on her instagram :)

[@berryj.greene7090]

Wow there lady - you are just the best! I want you on TV intervals. Some of that looks more like paint than ink. Beautiful hand with such wonderful formation and balance. How on earth do you position the camera and lights to get the view and avoid the shadows? Thank you so very much. Loved it.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Berry J. Greene thanks for the comment!! about the camera using tripod and the angle experiment 😊😉

[@yusufgaridi9523]

These hands are fantastic and their work is beautiful....ma cha Allah!

[@kjpmi]

A) This is the most soothing, beautiful thing to watch. B) I wish I were coordinated enough to do this. C) I wish that IF I were coordinated enough to do this that I weren't left handed so that it would be something I could at least attempt without a bunch of hassle.

[@Extinction.of.Innocense]

Can't imagine it getting better than this!

[@tecpjccasey5020]

For the colored ink (Opera Rose), do you use water color or gouache? Also, the consistency looks thicker, is it? I just started learning pointed pen calligraphy. I'll let you know how I'm doing in a few years! Your work is simply stunning. You make it look so easy, but I'm finding out how challenging it is!

[@CalligraphyMasters]

TECPJC Casey ita gouache and all tools are linked in the description 😊😉

[@lgsartbarn5129]

this is awesome, I have to get a few and start learning, it is so satisfying to watch

[@gomosh6967]

OMG! Just saw you doing it is so beautiful! Amazing! Which website I can purchase the green colour ink? I have a dip ink pen which is a gift from a friend. Thank you. From: Jeffery (Singapore)

[@muscletone08]

That was soul soothing. Beautiful

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you like it! Thank you for watching!! :)

[@mizanchowdhury5894]

I am very interested of caliographi writing and I always try it. Could you tell me from where I can buy this pen

[@sonnyca]

So relaxing, I want to do it too. I have a parallel pen and a flex pen and now I’m thinking about pen brushes. Not much of an artist but I enjoy writing mindless things on paper with my fountain pens.

[@ericashmusic8889]

Beautiful handiwork..! Thankyou.That Gold ink looks particularly good- Is it USA, or an international Brand please.

[@onatorrent]

@Suzanne Cunningham - Hello, I pointed Penman in training here. Been on a learning curve for 4 years and doing quite finely and has become a daily meditation for me each day about 4 or 5 am I will start working on my writing skills and drills and just prep stuff. Then I get into writing before the sun comes and the glow is different than in the evening and so it makes it kind of my time when no one else is up in the house and I can put my performance headphones and just get lost until the sun starts to shine and I all feels good. Now after telling you about my mornings, I have a question for you. What gold was that you used at 10:08, I would love to know cause it looks like it might dry looking like it had been foiled. Is that true with that ink? Oh also have you ever tried the Esterbrook No.135 EF Double Elastic? OH my, You can really do some bold statement stuff with as broad as that nib will flex.

[@cecemarie7607]

Your handwriting is awesome!

[@BillTkachCAATMANart]

Love the "caged" flexible dip nibs. I have found a simple and very cheap way to convert any flex dip nib into a "caged" nib. Just ask me how.

[@leahreyna4573]

So beautiful! And mesmerizing!

[@gillouleloup5012]

C'est juste merveilleux....merci

[@braintechindia]
