Repost from @calligraphyhowto: I love writing with Dr. Ph. Martin’s Spectralite! I only have the 18 Carat Gold, but have my eye on an 8-jar sample set of metallics at @johnnealbookseller ?
Pen: Hiro 40 “Blue Pumpkin” nib (FYI, newer versions of these nibs are now stamped with “Leonardt” rather than “Hiro”) Paper: Rhodia Dot Pad

Repost from @calligraphyhowto:
Squee! More new toys arrived today! A set of 5 Sai Traditional Japanese Colors brush pens, in Autumn Colors: blue, brown, orange, violet, and YELLOW!

These brushes are so soft and springy! Very hard to get precise detail with them, but PERFECT for luscious shapes like these.

Actual writing speed.

Pen: Sai Japanese Traditional Colors pen in yellow (sold on Amazon as part of a 5-pen set: “Akashiya Fude Brush Pen Sai, 5 Autumn Color Set”) #calligraphyvideo #calligraphy #brushlettering #brushcalligraphy #letteringleague #moderncalligraphy #calligrapher #calligraphersoninstagram #calligraphersofinstagram #instacalligraphy #brushtype #letteringco

I can’t believe how many times I had to write this to get even somewhat happy with it! This was AT LEAST attempt #23, using different tools, different styles.
Calligraphy brings my perfectionist gremlins out like nothing else! ?

Thankfully, I’ve learned some gremlin-whispering techniques, otherwise I’d NEVER POST ANYTHING!

Repost from @calligraphyhowto — This J. Herbin Encre Violette Pensée is so luscious to write with, I didn’t even realize I was spelling it wrong! ? Well, it’s somebody’s name, so I’ll just count this as a #writeaname video. (Check out the most recent name video on my @calligraphyhowto IG account to find out how to get YOUR name in calligraphy. ?) This video is 2x speed (formal—or formal-like—pointed pen scripts are SLOW!) Pen: Brause 66EF in an oblique holder

Ink: J. Herbin Encre Violette Pensée

Repost from @calligraphyhowto, where I share all calligraphy, all the time.

Shown at double speed (pointed pen scripts are SLOW!) Pen: Leonardt EF Principal nib in oblique holder

Ink: Daler-Rowney Pearlescent Ink in White Pearl (it’s sparklier than it appears here)

These Pearlescent colors are so nice to write with! They tend just a tad to the wet side, so watch for blobbing (you can see how the ink flowed just a little too fast at the end of the “l” and the second “c”) Hop over to my @calligraphyhowto Instagram account and leave a comment on my latest name video and you might get YOUR name in calligraphy, too!
