John Stevens uses these round ferrule, chisel-edge Rekab brushes for smaller Roman lettering as well as for a variety of other styles. John uses these along with flat ferrule chisel edged brushes for his brush lettering. These quality sable brushes, imported from Israel, with proper care will last for 20 years or more. These are called “Showcard” or “One Stroke Brushes.” They are more versatile than flat ferrule, chisel edge brushes, but take a bit more skill to use. John recommends the #5 to start with. For a wider range of sizes, he suggests adding the #3 & #7. Br12. rekab Brushes. Specify size.

FINe PAPerS For CALLIGrAPHerSExcept as noted, all these papers have been chosen for their suitability for broad edge calligraphy. Which side is the right side to write on? The side that takes the ink the best. On laid finish papers, one side will be smoother than the other. Experiment. If you experience slight bleeding, try sumi ink or gouache on the same paper. BeGINNerS: Try the inexpensive Ingres papers. Diploma Parchment is also a good bet. If you have a client that wants a 100% cotton sheet, Arches Watercolor HP is especially pen friendly. PRACTICE ON FINE PAPER?!?A number of instructors recommend this. Why? If you only practice on practice paper, you only become accomplished at practice. Instead, think of writing on fine paper. Think of your practice always as finished pieces. You become focused in your practice – finished pieces are only more practice! SHIPPING: Because we can’t ship these large sheets with other books and supplies, we charge a separate paper ship-ping charge. See “PAPER ORDERING INFORMATION.”

Paper Ordering InformationBecause of their large size, sheets of paper cannot be com-bined with book/supply orders for shipping. Only large orders of paper are shipped flat.

Lamy Calligraphy Pen These calligraphy fountain pens from Germany have more class than the rest, and they are a joy to use. They are designed for both function and form. The writing end has two facets that fit your fingers. All have a window to check for low ink level. The ink flows well. The clear one, with its see-through design and chrome accents, is my favorite.

B3334. 100 Flowers: Chinese Techniques for Painting Flowers by Yang O-shi. 240pp. 8.25"x12". Paper $35.00 Victoria Pittman has taught a popular flower painting class for many years at the summer calligraphy conference. Her flow-ers are made with a few strokes – ideal for envelopes, cards and

small calligraphic pieces. As a resource for that class, she highly recommends this book: "This is a particu-larly good book, with many great examples and great illustrations." It provides sequential steps for painting 100 different flowers, from simple to fairly complex, along with finished paintings. Does not cover the basics of watercolor, just painting these flowers.

WATERBRUSHESWaterbrushes are brushes with a large reservoir. Fill the reservoir with water and use the brush with pan watercolors or watercolor pencils. A squeeze on the barrel moves water into your brush. Fill the reser-voir with waterbase ink or paint and you have a brush that is always filled with color. All are nylon brushes.

Dye inks (such as Pelikan 4001) flow dependably and are good for correspondence and roughs. Though waterproof, Calli is designed for fountain pens. Unless the bottle says an ink is suitable for fountain pens (not technical pens), it may clog your fountain pen and ruin it.

calligraphy, and calligraphic writing. Shows how many principals and applications apply to both hands. Showcases work by many well-known calligraphers, showing their use of copperplate and italic. This is an intermediate level book, but it also contains a good review of the basics. Eleanor Winters’ Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy (B1109) is a thorough beginner’s manual and highly recommended as your first instructional book on this hand.

Copperplate / Spencerian SuppliesCopperplate and Spencerian have gained in popularity as calligraphers expand their repertoire of letterforms. The thicks & thins are caused by varying the pressure on a flexible point – a worthwhile discipline to learn. All calligraphy, as Lloyd Reynolds noted, is a series of move-ments involving touch.

To learn Copperplate or Spencerian, order the Cop-perplate Kit (page 56) or the Spencerian Kit (page 51). After you have some experience, order the nib sampler to try out the range of nibs.

BeGINNerS: The most popular nibs are Brause 66eF, Gillott 303, Hiro #40, Hunt 101, Nikko G, and Zebra G. Righthanders will need an oblique pen holder. lefthanders use either a straight holder or an oblique holder. All will need a bottle of Higgins eternal (I08, $4.20), which is improved by the addition of 10 or 20 drops of Gum Arabic (I84, $12.59).

Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy (B1109, $14.95) by Eleanor Winters is a good book for beginners. In the book, Eleanor recommends the Gillott 404 & Gillott 303. Denys Taipale always taught copperplate with Brause 66eF nibs and Higgins Eternal with Gum Ara-bic. Other teachers opt for a stiffer nib for beginners.

In her excellent article on pointed nibs in Bound & Lettered (TAB2.4, $8.50), Caroline Paget leake notes that Gillott 404 and Hunt 56 are sturdy and durable, making them excellent for student practice.

For Spencerian, Michael Sull recommends the Hunt 22, Hunt 56, Nikko G, along with Hunt 101, Hunt 99 and the Gillott 404. Pointed nibs (also called pen points) are of various sizes and don’t all fit in the same holders. The Ziller Oblique Holders are already adjusted for specific nibs. You may need to adjust the Century and Zanerian Oblique Holders. The Blackwell Oblique Holders work with almost all nibs.

dVd39. Copperplate with ron tate. 2009. 1 hour, 45 minutes. DVD $29.95 Calligraphers call this beautiful hand Copperpate or English Roundhand. Penmen call it Engrosser's Script. The DVD’s 21 chapters include cor-rect posture and desk position-

ing, writing angles and letter sizes, step-by step instruction for all lower-case and capital letter forms, numbers, connecting letters, and oblique pen holders and pen points

dVd40. Spencerian with ron tate. 2009. 1 hour, 27 minutes. DVD $29.95 Spencerian is an American style of penmanship. The lower case has only a few stressed strokes in a word. In cop-perplate, every down stroke is thickened by applying pressure

to the pen. Spencerian Script can be written with more speed than copperplate. Spencerian originated in Ohio in the 1860s with Platt Roger Spencer. The DVD’s 15 chapters include instruc-tion and demonstration of all the letters of the alphabet, hand positions and correct posture, practice exercises, writing angles and letter sizes, oblique pen holders & pen points, practical tips for envelopes and pen flourishes.

Michael Sull on Spencerian Materials:PeN PoINtS: For beginners Michael highly recom-mends the Nikko G Nib and Hunt 56. He also recom-mends Hunt 22, EF Principal, along with Hunt 101, Hunt 99, and Gillott 404.

INK: Higgins Eternal (I08, $3.75) will work fine and is improved by a little evaporation. For finest hairlines, Michael recommends McCaffrey’s Black Penman's Ink (I37, $6.50), as well as the colors, page 45. By add-ing a little Higgins Eternal to Bokuju Vermillion (I23, $8.60), you can create a wonderful sepia. Use a dropper to add Higgins Eternal, using a coffee stirrer to mix. McCaffrey’s Brown is excellent as well. Dr.Martin’s Bleedproof White (I38, $10.00) is Michael’s personal favorite white. Thin with water. He likes McCaffrey’s Ivory (I37-WHT, $6.50), too. Michael recommends a cushion of blotting paper under your writing sheet. It facilitates writing.

Don’t write on a hard surface. Blotting Paper. 120 lb white. These two sizes ship with books and supplies.S261-8.5. 8.5"x11" $ .95 10/$.75 20/$.65S261-11. 11"x17" $1.50 10/$.95 20/$.85PAdS: Michael’s favorite for work for reproduction is the Canson Pro-Layout Marker Pad.See pads on page 30.

SCHMINCKE GOUACHEThis difficult-to-find Germangouache is highly recommendedby Michael Sull for its brightness,smooth flow and lightfastness.Because mica instead of metal par-ticles is used, the metallics will notdarken over time, and because themica can be more finely ground, itflows through a pen much better. Alsorecommended by Katrina Berry andothers. Schmincke gold pearl is ourbestselling gold gouache. 20 ml tubes.

When using a fresh tube, squeeze out the clear stuff (glyc-erin) until you get dense pigment. This glycerin helps keepthe gouache from drying in the tube but will keep yourwork from drying as well. This gouache reconstitutes easily

and quickly if it has dried in your penor on your palette.
