Hi everyone!
My name is Angela and I live in a small city near Madrid called Segovia.
I discovered brush lettering about three years ago, but I quickly got frustrated as my letters didn’t look as neat and beautiful as everyone else’s. I completely abbandoned my hobby because I felt like I wasn’t improving.
Two months ago I stumbled upon pointed pen calligraphy (specifically copperplate ) and when I started to practice drills and basic letterforms, everything just clicked.
I’ve been practicing everyday since then, and I’m in love with everything I’m learning.
I want to keep practicing copperplate, but want to expand my skills. I think I will start learning Italic soon!
Calligraphy is a truly beautiful skill, and I can’t wait to learn everything I can.
This forum is a blessing. Can’t wait to participate in it!
