Copperplate Script

[@shickman1561]

I had to repeat this over and over because your voice is mesmerizing! :)

[@calligrapherleo1611]

Muchas Gracias!!! muy amable y estimado PaulAntonioScribe, muy buena y amplia información al respecto. En mis tiempos libres hago Caligrafía artística, me encanta, desgraciadamente no la hago tan buena com Ud. FELICIDADES!!! Me dá gusto ver que esto se siga enseñando y difundiendo para nuevas y futuras generaciones, ya que hay muchos jóvenes que no entienden esta letra. Le deseo toda la suerte y le envío un gran saludo desde México.

I've been struggling with an ugly "E" for some time now! Thank you for showing that it's one big oval with a few little ones. That really helped me! You are a gifted teacher!

[@PAScribe]

Glad it helped you!

[@raineboots]

this was very helpful! I've been studying copperplate for a little over a year now and am just now trying to hone my majuscules. It's been very difficult trying to get the proportions/ovals correctly so thank you so much for this!

[@arthurprelle3295]

Your care of precision and these videos are a great adjunct to your book and classes. 👍

[@PAScribe]

These are older videos - you should get the ones on the PAScribe Scriptorium- they are much more advanced and detailed.

[@chuckkolb1270]

Narrow ovals is an excellent way of thinking of copperplate. Thank you.

[@ImRefraction]

very helpful, couldnt quite figure out why mine looked off. You answered all my questions, thanks.

[@premlata982]

I have never seen such a talented so far...stay blessed.🙏

We are fortunate to see the way calligraphers do their work and hope to see more

[@cr8cat794]

Paul, you are an exemplary communicator. . this was very illuminating for me. Thank you for posting!

[@Grizzleback07]

You make it look so easy! I could watch you do this for hours.

[@PAScribe]

Grizzleback07 thank you. It took a long time to make it look this effortless!

Greetings from Los Angeles. Fascinating demonstration. Many thanks for sharing.

[@henrietteclaire1307]

I'm so impressed! Thank you very much for teaching me/us/everybody!

[@FlourishedHope]

Hi Paul! IT DID HELP!!! I just loved your lesson. Thank you for making this teaching available. I shall keep on training my eyes.

[@peace-n-happiness]

This video is exactly what I needed. I was struggling with these particular letters. I was trying to make sense out of it. Your video gave me the clarity that at I desperately needed. Thank you!

[@PAScribe]

CHRONIC HAPPINESS glad it helped you.

[@TheEjaznaqvi]

Beautifully and in a simple way you taught Great man you are

[@jimiefoxx]

Great video! Learn a lot! I have a question..what is the difference between this copperplate and engrosser? thanks

[@galedar1537]

Paul, thanks so much for your videos. You are really an excellent teacher, especially because you break things down into manageable parts and give understandable and concise explanations accompanied by so much visual reinforcement. Hopefully I will be able to take one of your workshops when you visit the USA. I would suggest erasing the board better and using some colored chalk for details (ie slant, ovals, etc) or a white board. Great videos!

[@PAScribe]

Gale McK thanks for your comment. Remember the vid was not specifically made for you. I was teaching a class so the board was what it was.

[@galedar1537]

Paul, of course! Should have thought of that. I just received my copy of your new book and am looking forward to delving into it 👍 Thanks

[@PAScribe]

It's the weight, narrowness and retouching of upstrokes

[@sharaonthomas7208]

how can you trade your skills, i also write almost the same, how can you make a living with that any advises?

[@PAScribe]

sharaon thomas hi there. Building a calligraphy business is not an easy thing. It takes time. Start with a style sheet you can email to clients for them to see what envelopes look like, with prices. Good luck with it

[@sharaonthomas7208]

but where do you find the clients, i am really blank

[@dinhkhanh]

All of your videos are so helpful, they inspire me so much. Thank you and keep sharing.

[@r.mercado9737]

Outstanding teaching! I am looking forward to more...

[@whiskitty]

That was amazing! I feel so inspired. Thank you for sharing

[@dittejrgensen3016]

This was very helpful. You are very good at explaining. Thanks!

[@amjPeace]

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video! I feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon it so early in my flounderings.

[@Melodiageraldine]

This is very clearly explained and really helpful!!

[@tommyho8173]

Thanks Paul, this has helped my immensely on my capitals.

[@JacobDrosdick]

[@katherandefy]

Always such helpful insights. Thank you!

[@PAScribe]

thanks so much John. I am glad it was helpful.

[@RENEARBOLEDAMAGIC]

Lovely work...!

[@robcoop4260]

I find it hilarious how the last line in this video is, "Hope this helps." This is a-m-a-z-i-n-g-l-y helpful! Thank you so much for your teaching @paulantonioscribe !

[@PAScribe]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@katherinehumphreys4669]

[@gabrielbrosnan9353]

Lovely work!!!

[@MingLee1502]

Thank you Mr.Antonio, very thorough lesson which is extremely helpful for people who study calligraphy at home. But may I suggest you upgrade the resolution quality of your videos.

[@PAScribe]

Thank you. You are welcome for the helpful vid

[@Donykovida]

I suddenly learned so much by watching this video thanks!!!

[@Amyduckie]

Fantastic video. I really enjoy Copperplate. I was wondering, do you know anything about Kurrent or Sutterlin? I'd love to see a video comprising the differences (the many that there are) between that and Copperplate or one of the other more 'commonly' used English scripts. If you know of any, I'd love to know of them.

[@rukeyser]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@fludrbywest3886]

Yes this really helped me a lot!!

[@dendygan4511]

wow many thanks for this video very educative even for an amatuer like me

[@PAScribe]

Thank you for looking at them and commenting.

[@TheJoannaF]

these are very helpful thanks!

[@r.mercado9737]

Great instruction!

[@gryla5290]

Very educational :) a lot of my questions have been answered. You have a new subscriber :)))

[@mirali7126]

Great

[@linuxwitch]

Thank you!

[@TheMrFloorball]

hei paul! what is your opinion about graffiti tags? i mean letters where the structure isn't classic...

[@PAScribe]

+TheMrFloorball like everything, there is good and bad, even in graffiti. Lettering doesn't mean that it MUST always follow classicly formal structure as long as the sense of form, balance, design and structure is present, but mostly it need to be pleasing to look at.

[@barbaranicolecigarskamgr.5970]

Hi. Great video! =) Please, may you tell me where I can find some videos from you for beginners of Calligraphy? Not just Copperplate script (which is my favourite to watch) but in general, e.g. some basic rules in Calligraphy, recommendations, etc. Cause this video was very helpful and for sure the others are but I'd like to learn it from the basis. Or just some recommendation where I can find sth good to learn. Thank you for your respond.

[@minali2897]

Thanks a lot!! really help me!

[@UKZoe]

This is certainly one of my issues as I learn.

[@mehwishkhurshid9757]

Super AmaZinvg

[@bobans]

Very good tip! I was making the capitals wrong all this time!

[@debradurling8186]

Thank you helpful

[@phsyckomantis]

Grandpa taught me this as roundhand. 🙀🙀🙀🙀

[@ladyamalthea917]

One book said to go heavier on the downstrokes, lighter on the upsweeps? Your thoughts?

[@PAScribe]

Lady Amalthea you don't have a choice in Copperplate it is heavy down hairline up. This is a demo with chalk, with a nib it is very different

[@bobans]

Can you please get a better camera?

[@maximme]

pls buy a tripod you will be very happy if you shoot with it
