Course Description

Overview

Do you ever see gorgeous brush lettering, but feel you don't know where to start? Have you perhaps tried it before, but not been happy with the results?

In this class I will teach you the basic brush lettering strokes and also share my top tips and techniques. You will start by practising the lower and upper case alphabet, using the worksheets provided.

Next, I will show you how to join your letters together and add decoration to create beautiful pieces. By the end of the class you will have the skills you need to write out a quote in your own style of brush lettering.

This class is aimed at beginners, with no previous experience required.
