This tutorial by artist Gaby Friedman originally appeared on the TPK Blog in 2015. Iโm re-sharing it because every time I come across it, I get that irresistible, ‘must-stop-everything-to-make-this’ feeling. I hope you feel the same spark of inspiration!
From leaves to leather, avocados to glass, this post has got you covered if you’ve ever thought to yourself, “I’m tired of writing on paper. Let’s take this calligraphy thing to the next level!”
In today’s article, you’ll learn about calligraphy slant lines, how to create them, and when to use them to elevate your calligraphy.
Today’s tutorial doesn’t require any special tools besides watercolor, a pencil, and a black pen. What it does require is a little bit of time and patience! If you have an hour or so, give this birthday card and envelope pair a try. You’ll absolutely love the artistic results.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn five different ways to quickly address an extraordinary, eye-catching envelope. We’ll examine techniques ranging from decoupage to watercolor calligraphy to writing backwards!
