Modern Calligraphy An Intensive Practice Workbook Kestrel Montes Books Reviews
- The binding of the book does not lie flat, making it hard to use the book. You end up trying to write on the up or down hump in the middle of the book.
A spiral binding or download version would be far better. - This book is AMAZING!! I was so excited to see this tutorial book on modern calligraphy, as I am a modern calligrapher I jump at the chance to get any new resource. This one exceeded my expectations. It is filled with exemplars and explains all you’ll need to know even if you’re a beginner. You won’t be dissppointed!!!!
- Great practice workbook with lots of tips and tricks! I really enjoy it.
- Tons of practice!!
- I have always loved Kestrel’s calligraphy style, so I was really excited to see that she was releasing a book, and let me tell you, it is even better than I expected. I love how it is broken down into basic strokes first, but then the letter exercises are ordered by the strokes, instead of alphabetically. So it’s really easy to see how they build on each other. The empty practice pages at the end of each section are great too. Not too many, but just enough to give you free space to practice. The photography is clean, beautiful, and very well done.
I’ve been lettering and using a dip pen for a couple years now, but there were plenty of tips and bits of information that were new to me in this book. Like the correct angle between the nib and the paper?? My writing is so much smoother now! So I would recommend this book for every skill level.
This is my favorite calligraphy book I’ve purchased, so I highly recommend it. It would make a very good gift for someone interested in beginning or continuing the art of calligraphy. - My wife loves this book. Here’s her review
What a beautiful book with gorgeous photos! I especially love how the simple things are broken down that really make a difference, I.e. nib prep and usage, holding angles, etc. I have two GORGEOUS InkMeThis pen holders and was so excited to hear Kestrel came out with her own Modern Calligraphy book! - I have been looking for help in learning modern calligraphy for awhile now. This book covers everything you need to know and more. Kestrel covers all the fundamentals and has wonderful tips. I have taken a class and purchased other books but this is the best by far.
It is beautifully written on beautiful paper with lots of practice sheets. She speaks in a language that is easy to understand and makes you want to practice.
My goal now is to perfect my hand and then treat myself to a holder created by Francisco! - This book is not only helpful in describing Calligraphy in easy to understand terms, but it is also beautiful. Kestrel helps take the mystery out of dip pen Calligraphy. I have struggled for years watching You Tube videos, but I took a class from her last year, and this book reinforces all that she taught me. Everything from nib preparation to pen holder angle was so helpful. If you want to learn modern Calligraphy, this book is for you!
