Handwrite italics letters in a traditional style using a Parallel Pen
This is a course for beginner-intermediate calligraphers. No previous experience is required to take it, nor does it require any special artistic talent. What you DO need is the desire to learn and to practise!
We will be using parallel pens for our calligraphy, not dip pens. You will need at least one parallel pen (I recommend the 3.8 mm nib). You'll need to be able to print the practise sheets (PDF's) on good quality white printer paper.
There are a ton of exercises for you to do that will help you improve your calligraphy, as well as two projects (a thank you card and a certificate).
Write beautiful letters in ITALICS.
Hand-write a certificate of achievement and a Thank You note.

Yes, it was what I was looking for except I would have liked to see a reference for each letter showing stroke direction.
An excellent course for learning the Italic hand. Plenty of samples and guide sheets make it very easy to follow along and learn from the instructional videos. The two projects help master the techniques even more. This was my third course from Mary Jane and I really like the way she presents each lesson and module.
Mary Jane is a superb calligrapher and an extremely gifted teacher! I highly recommend!
I thought calligraphy is just artistic but now I understand it is pattern and followed by numerous rules to bring it into perfection. Merci Madame Mary Jane, Je suis professeur de français en Inde et j'adore l'art (Calligraphy)
Thank you for an informative and very enjoyable course.
