review:
'The Art of Brush-Lettering: A Stroke-by-Stroke Guide to the Practice and Techniques of Creative Lettering and Calligraphy' by Kelly Klapstein is a pretty great basic guide to introduce the art of lettering with brush pens.

Starting with the calming effects of lettering and setting the stage with mind, body, pen and paper, the book has a gentle calm manner. Exercises are stressed and built on. Tools are discussed. The basic strokes are broken down, then the alphabet is presented in a way that builds from simple to more complex. Final chapters deal with the kinds of freestyle lettering that can be done once the basics are understood.

This book made beautiful lettering something that was completely in my grasp. I have a couple brush pens and I've attempted to use them, but this book helped me really understand how I was using them wrong. I liked this instructive book and the exercises in it.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Quarry, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
