REVIEW

This Calligraphy guide explains it well. It does take a lot of practice to master. All lessons use markers rather than dip pens and brushes. Personally, I would recommend for older teens or adults. Nice size book, but the book doesn’t lay open on its own which makes it difficult to look at while practicing. A link is provided to access and print additional printing pages.
