Black Forrest/Gothic style lettering is the perfect “starter” alphabet for the true beginner. We will be using calligraphy markers and you will learn how to hold your pen and master the 3 basic strokes that all the letters are based on: diamond, vertical, diagonal hairline. Good lettering practices will be shared to ensure success and minimize frustration. You will learn how to measure guidelines on paper based on the size of the pen you are using as well to prepare your own lettering paper. Step by step demonstration will be given for each letter and then follow up practice and individual guidance will help you master all of the lower-case letters by the end of the class. A packet of practice sheets and letter and number guides, as well as a new calligraphy marker (C-2) will be given so that you can continue to practice and master this Gothic Alphabet. All materials are included.
