Brush Script is based on a familiar cursive alphabet style many of us learned in grade school. If you missed learning cursive, this class is for you. Calligraphy with brush pens is characterized by thick down strokes and thin upstrokes created by pressure and release of pen on paper.

​

Brush pens are easy to use and come in a variety of colors, sizes and tips, ready for try-outs in class. No dipping or refilling, just write. Nylon tip water brushes offer another tool utilizing any water color for larger scale writing.

​

Class will cover the basic strokes used in each letter of the alphabet, proper hand and arm placement for successful practice as well as step by step demonstrations of letter families sharing similar shapes for a quick start. Miniscules (lower case) and Majiscules (captials) will be covered letter by letter. There will be some drills for basic strokes but practice will always include short words. Its all about letter connections in cursive writing. 

Lastly, variations in lettering style from bold to bouncy will be shown. After this class, you are only a pen change away from Copperplate Script. Coming soon.
