Calligraphy: Easel-Does-It

By Nancy Ouchida-Howells

Using an innovative photographic method of displaying movement on the page that shows whole sequences of movement rather than step-by-step highlights, Calligraphy: Easel-Does-It makes understanding, learning and mastering the skills involved in creating illuminated text easier and more enjoyable than ever.The flip-over, easel style format also means that its 8 projects can easily be mounted for viewing while you practice. The projects are designed to develop a range of styles, including Gothic, Renaissance, Celtic, Romanesque and Modern Revival. Within each project, a technique is introduced and its usage explained; then step-by-step pictures and captions guide the reader through every stroke. All of the materials and equipment needed for each project are listed within the project. A Gallery section provides inspiration for the beginning calligrapher and demonstrates, through examples by professional calligraphers, the range of effects that can be achieved.

excellent book for all calligraphers

Nancy is an amazing artist. This book is very handy to have available for ideas. My only wish is it could have a firmer stand as it's sometime difficult to keep upright. Well worth the hassle of standing properly as the ideas are invaluable.
