Oh my goodness, thanks to you I've just had a breakthrough moment with my Copperplate. Yours is the best explanation I've ever seen. Thank you!

I know this video is a year old--so that's why I wanted to know if you still recommend these supplies, especially the papers or do recommend something else that you have found works better since this video was made? Thank you!

Hello, great question! I still recommend the Nikko G nib for beginners and I still use the Hunt 101 nib. For paper, Rhodia and HP Premium both work great. Here's a link to our Amazon collection for Copperplate beginner supplies: www.amazon.com/ideas/amzn1.account.AEE5GVRDIUUDBSYDLDC54CVIL2OA/909DJ07XKK7D?ref=exp_loveleighloops_cp_vl_vv_d

I really commend you and your sister for responding so quickly to people's questions and inquiries. I have other questions, if you don't mind, as I am a little beyond a beginner. When you dip your dip pen into ink, are you supposed to go straight to your paper or touch the side of the ink bottle first to get rid of any excess ink---although that may be a silly question now that I think of it--? I just thought there might be less blobs of ink on the paper if I touched the nib to the side of the bottle before going to the paper to write. Is there such a thing as 'breaking in' a new nib? I noticed when I used a new Nikko G nib, it used up the ink right away and that was with covering the hole in the nib with ink. So, I'm not sure what's happening. I noticed that nib is more flexible. Any thoughts on that? When I switched to a new Hunt 101, I was having the same problem with having to re-dip quite often. Also, when using those nibs and writing the letters 'g' and 'j' and coming up from the tail, I finally learned I really had to lighten my hand on the pen to keep the tines from spitting ink when using the up stroke. I couldn't understand why the nib was 'sticking' or stopping on the paper when making those up strokes and not gliding smoothly up like you or your sister were doing in the video. Any thoughts on that? And when using an oblique pen holder, do you hold the pen differently when you're doing copperplate to keep with the 55 degree angle? Also, I've looked at so many books that teach other alphabets before copperplate. I learned how to do italic in high school. That was many, many years ago. I have a daughter who is getting married next year and so I wanted to teach myself copperplate. SHOULD I go back or start at something else before learning the copperplate? I've already been practicing the copperplate alphabet using this video. I know these are a lot of questions. I'm sorry about that. Thank you so much for your help.-Leslie

When I dip my pen, I usually shake it to remove excess ink, but you can also touch it to the inside of the bottle. Different nibs will "run out" of ink at different times, and it also depends on how much pressure you're using. The more ink that comes out (with more pressure), the more frequently you'll have to dip. For the descending stem loops, yes you are right! Lightening your hand will help with the upstrokes. You could make them in two separate strokes if needed (downstroke, lift, curve/upstroke). If Copperplate is your end goal for the style you want to achieve, I don't think it's necessary to go back to a different alphabet first. Good luck with your daughter's wedding!

What paper is that you are using ?? I am looking for everyday practice paper

Hi! I believe I was using Canson Sketch paper. I would recommend using something a little thicker than normal printer paper, such as card stock. You can also purchase Rhodia pads of paper which are great for practicing - they come with lines or with dotted grids.
