About this course

Brush lettering is not handwriting and it is not calligraphy with a pointed nib. It is a movement skill built on one rule: thin up, thick down. This course teaches the real mechanics with named pens, paper that will not fray your brush tips, and progressive drills so your strokes stop wobbling. You finish able to letter a clean alphabet, flex it into a style of your own, and compose words into balanced artwork.
