This instantly improved my "calligraphy" (if I can call it that at the stage that I'm at, lol). I was trying to write all my words without lifting my pen off of the paper, thinking that's the only way to make it look like it flows. I couldn't have been further from the truth. Lifting the pen off the paper really changes the game completely!

I’ve watched several different You Tube videos on calligraphy. Becca by far has been the best so I’ve ditched the others. This gives me consistent information and teaching style.
So glad I happened upon her.

Dang. I have actual calligraphy pens with the metal tips, not felts... tricky stuff.

Thank you for the lesson Maestra. It has helped me IMPROVE so much

I have watched many, many handwriting and calligraphy tutorials from various channels and your videos are by far the most informative and practical. Just as a specific example, demonstrating a common mistake with most people assuming to meet up the lines at the very top of the oval and then showing us how much cleaner it looks to start to the side with an upstroke. You're a great teacher!

That noise the pen makes 😍

@cleonie9333 3 years ago

Thank you! I was really worried about not getting the light part of my strokes but realised I was too scared to press down on the downstrokes and it really really improved my upturn and down turn strokes.

I legitimately thought I was never going to be able to do any brush pen work, until I saw your videos and tutorials. Thank you!

You are the first person to tell me about the strokes and it’s gave me confidence thank you 😮

I’ve watched about 5 minutes of ur video and YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER! I was thinking of getting back into calligraphy after many years but I thought, maybe not because I think it’s going to b daunting; but not with you as a teacher! Thank you—you are the bees knees😊

I am so excited, I can't wait to start the course on the 7th. Thank you so so much!

Becca, you have THE most beautiful penmanship I’ve EVER seen!! I actually “stumbled” on one of your videos, and I’m intrigued!!
Thanx Soooo much for all your guidance and the videos.
God Bless!!

I'm just learning this a newbie. I purchased from Amazon Mont Marte set. I honestly didn't know where to start but now I do. It was my birthday present for myself. As a kid I would sit in my room and practice my handwriting especially my name. At first I thought I want to be an actress after practicing all that but decided on journalism and that never came around oh well I'm retired now and looking forward to an adventure in calligraphy. Thanks so much
