Copperplate, Engrosser's Script, Roundhand Calligraphy / Re: Is Copperplate Script, Done in Pencil, Still Copperplate Calligraphy?
« on: March 22, 2020, 02:35:49 PM »
Good questions. My instructor back in KC would shudder when anyone brought up a comparison of the "new" freehand calligraphy styles to copperplate or spencerian. I guess it is all in the eye of the beholder. Just like art - some of it may look like it was done in 5 minutes with a paintball gun, while others look like they took months to carefully design and execute. If you like it, you like it - no reason/explanation needed. LOL

Here is another project that you can paint/gild/etc and give to a loved one for the holiday. PS - if I have shrunk this down too small for what you need, shoot me an e-mail and i can forward an 8x10 version that is at a higher resolution.
Enjoy!

Thanks, Nikki! PS - Some portions of that scroll work were from commercially available, copyright free sources (it was not 100% hand drawn). If you are interested, I have done a full alphabet of letters illuminated like this E, and they have all been picked up by shutterstock and are available through them if there is a particular letter that you would like to incorporate into an illuminated manuscript.

Thanks, Erica & Bianca! Michael was indeed a very good instructor. That was several years ago. More recently, I took a class in gothic penmanship from Peter Noth. He is very good as well.

Hello from Kansas City. This is Chip (aka kcsculptor) and I am a newbie to the Flourish Forum. I was trained in Spencerian Script by Michael Sull here in KC several years ago, but am VERY rusty. I will need a lot of practice to get my hand back in shape. I am hoping to learn a lot from all of you!!
