Painting is the art of using colors to make a masterpiece!

Perhaps you have been wanting to learn more about using acrylic paints to create a painting, but were daunted by the unfamilarity of the tools.

This course de-mystifies the use of authentic painting tools.

Learn :

• to correctly insert the nib into the pen-holder;

• how to create the thick and thin strokes of the letter;
• why it is important to keep your pen at a 45° angle;
• where to place your letters in the guidelines;
• what the ductus is ;

Presented by Rodel Tapaya, a qualified painter, this course starts with a keynotes presentation that will first give you a quick overall view of Calligraphy essentials, followed by a series of videos will help you get started in Calligraphy.

In the demonstrations, Rodel Tapaya uses a 3 mm Brause oblique nib in a wooden pen-holder and walnut hull ink.
