Short excerpt from the Tools & Materials movie in the Italic Theory module. Basic advice useful to all levels. (NO advertising appears in the actual program!)

A sample from an advanced section on "dangerous lines" that proposes calligraphy strokes may be as dynamic as sports strokes . It encourages calligraphers not to be afraid of a sheet of paper! Nice music & calligraphy sequence towards the end.

This one is just for fun. If you are faint hearted turn down the volume, but if you like strong beats then turn up the noise!

Samples above are from the online calligraphy masterclass "Italic Rhythm to Polyrhythmic Calligraphy", a 9 hour educational program. Purchase here.

Bonus: the 8 part documentary film "Western Calligraphy Goes East" is included with the calligraphy masterclass. The trailer is posted above.
