Over the years, I have received many questions about left-handed calligraphy. As a right-handed person, I try to provide answers to the best of my ability, but I sometimes find myself stymied! You can imagine how thrilled I was, then, to meet left-handed calligrapher Elisabeth Young of ElisaAnne Calligraphy. I am so pleased that she agreed to write this blog post, which should help many a left-handed calligraphy enthusiast!
This is a guest post by artist Gaby Friedman, and I am 100% in love with it. Not only does Gaby do a great job of explaining her steps, but she provided fantastic photography and a wonderful project to boot! After reading this tutorial, I really did write “make galaxy postcard” on my to-do list … because I am excited to try my own hand at Gaby’s technique! I hope you enjoy the tutorial as much as I did; and if you have any questions, of course know that you are free to ask in the comments or reach out to Gaby personally {contact information is on her website, gabyfriedman.com}.
This blog post contains everything you ever wanted to know about watercolor paints … but were too afraid to ask. Or, more likely, you’re like me and you didn’t even know you wanted to know all this about watercolor paints {but, trust me, you do!}. After reading this post, please go to a cocktail party, get someone to mention watercolors, and show off your now extensive knowledge.
In this guest post, illustrator Zakkiya Hamza shows us that working with watercolors doesn’t have to be complicated. You can turn a simple concept into a beautiful, visually compelling illustration. Oh, and did I mention this illustration is yours to keep as a desktop/phone/tablet background?
The talented Gioia of Posta Via Gufo was kind enough to create this free calligraphy and watercolor desktop wallpaper for TPK readers. She also designed this artwork to fit perfectly on any phone and/or for printing and hanging. Read more about Gioia and her art + calligraphy in this blog post, and download this beautiful piece in whatever format(s) you desire.
