This review is from: The Art of Color Calligraphy (Hardcover)
Aside from the wonderful full color pictures, this book provides a step by step guide to projects, an introduction to mediums and a great source of inspiration to make a trip to your local art supply store. The simple instructions and advice encourages you to explore beyond just the black ink realm of calligraphy. However if you're a beginner and you're looking for a how-to guide to writing calligraphy, then it's best to look elsewhere. This book is geared for a user who already has a background in calligraphy but looking to "try something new & colorful".
