This class breaks down the fundamentals of basic strokes necessary to correctly use brush pens of all sizes.
Beginning with brush pens is a learning curve itself, aside from hand lettering. You must get familiar with how to properly use the brush tip, as its varying pressure and thickness will make or break your piece.
This class does not cover how to hand letter, so if you need to establish your letter formation (which I highly suggest before jumping into using brush pens), first take Hand Lettering: 4 Easy Steps to Modern Calligraphy.

TESTIMONIALS
I loved this class! First of all her hand lettering is amazing and seeing her writing so effortlessly made me feel like I was listening to someone who knows what she is talking about. Class started with the basics and went towards composition and more advanced tips very nicely. But I loved the most the ombre effect and watercolor effect. I had no idea we could use these brush pens this way. I have to try! =D
