Brush Lettering
Share This Class:
Overview
Do you just love having a pen or a marker or a pencil in hand? Hearing the soft sound of the words appearing on your page? Feeling the smooth paper under your hand? Then you’re in the right place!
This course was made for people like you— people that really feel at home with a pile of blank sheets of paper and a mess of writing tools spread out over the desk!
With brush lettering, you can enjoy a sort of freedom that isn’t necessarily as easy when doing traditional calligraphy. Letter forms are more spontaneous and can be adapted them quite easily to your own natural style of writing. Here, the idea is more to guide you as opposed to teaching you.
Perhaps you’ll find the writing exercises relaxing. Working through this course will help you disconnect from all that’s around you. It’s really a sort of Yoga For The Soul!
Completing this course will help you:
- better choose your pens, markers and papers for brush lettering
- hold your pen or marker in the correct manner
- draw lower case and upper case letters with confidence
- centre a text properly and find ways to use your brush lettering skills
Who is the course for?
Absolutely everyone interested in brush lettering! Whether you be 7 or 70+, this course is for you! Whether you be a complete beginner or someone who has already studied hand-lettering. you’ll get some fantastic “me” time as you work through the exercises and work sheets provided.
Learning Path
The first part of the course is dedicated to getting to know a little more about the tools and supplies used throughout the course.
As with many activities, a warm-up session is highly recommended! We won’t be stretching our muscles or doing scales on a keyboard; instead, we’ll learn about applying pressure to the pen, then letting up.
Each letter will be studies, in both lower and upper cases. Plenty of exercise sheets are provided for you to print ant to practise on.
Pangrams are a great way to practise writing letters with your brush pen or marker, as each sentence contains all 26 letters of our alphabet. These short, often nonsense sentences may be centred, for added visual appeal.
Knowing how to draw letters with a brush pen is all very well and good – but what can you do with that new skill? Several ideas and suggestions are presented in the last part of this course.
