5.0 out of 5 stars
It spurred me to creativivity, August 28, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Calligrapher's Studio (Hardcover)
This is one of those rare instruction books that gives you the feeling of sitting in a private class; just you and the teacher discussing the nuances of the craft. It is full of not just side note tips, which are extremely helpful, but all kinds of personal guidance. The one that comes immediately to mind is when the author is talking about drawing roughs. She encourages you to doodle and experiment since no one will see this stage of your finished piece. She even goes so far as to let in in on the little secrets of the creative process; even professionals get butterflies just before the work is done. Besides these wonderful additions, this book is clear and thorough in its instruction. If you are intimidated by the beauty of the penned word, this book is your guiding hand
