I love that you took the time to complete the worksheet with us, it makes it so much easier to follow along. This video’s made me want to sign up to The Beginner’s Modern Calligraphy course that much more! So good to see you on RUclips 😀
What an amazing guide for the complete beginner - with tips on the right supplies to use and a free worksheet to get you started. I can’t wait to have a go now!
With all your tips and worksheets, I've successfully started my calligraphy journey - the right materials make all the difference! Your Beginner’s Modern Calligraphy Online Course was what made me finally commit, after following you for years!
Thank you for making this video. I love that it's short and gives the basics while still showing the strokes for each of the letters and numbers, and bonus, a worksheet to practice!
This is the year I actually use my supplies and dive in. I'm even on my second potato since the first one rotted. So much for procrastination. 😬Lindsey, love your vidoes and blog. Can't wait to get started!
I have purchased several of Lindsey's calligraphy worksheet sets in different styles as well as some printables and the modern calligraphy video course from The Postman's Knock website and I have been thrilled with all of them. My only problem is that I can't find nearly enough time to actually fill them all out and practice consistently! But I can't help myself from treating myself to something from her catalog every few months because everything is so organized and fun and appealing to look at and very reasonably priced. Thanks for all you do to share your art, Lindsey! It is so appreciated!
I can so relate to the time thing now that I have an infant ... gosh, I thought I didn't have time *before*, and now, well, you can imagine! The time I do have to devote to art and calligraphy is absolute gold. :) This was a gorgeous and kind review ... thanks so much, Mary Ellen!
Thank you so much for the free worksheet & video 💗! I love reading your newsletter, but the video format is very helpful. I watched this morning while eating breakfast.
I happened upon your blog a while ago and have purchased some of your worksheets as well as the online beginners course. But, for whatever reason I had no idea you had a YT channel. Glad to know you are going to be posting here occasionally as it will help us visual learners. (Now if only you were a lefty - hahahaha :)
I haven't been very active on RUclips up until the past couple of months, so you weren't missing much! :) It is a little bit strange, actually, that I'm not a lefty, because my dad is -- as well as my maternal grandmother! Alas ... ;)
I have purchased and used several of Lindsey's practice packages, including the Amy font and the "Learn Hand Lettering for aLatte." All of her printable worksheets are beautiful and fun to use. I had not appreciated how useful the videos would be before watching this introduction. It makes a world of difference to see how to hold, angle and pressure the pen.
Lindsey, I'm so glad you've made videos available. All of your work is lovely, but to see your lettering in action is even more inspiring. Its stunningly beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love the graphic explanation and the tools recommendation. I bought the Janet Style Calligraphy set, and now I see that this video complements the instruction fairly well. Thanks!
Hi there, thanks for your very helpful website and videos. I'm gathering supplies and can't wait to get started. My handwriting suffered since I learned to touch-type years ago. It's a use-it-or-lose-it skill, handwriting. And now I'm doing something about it by writing more. At least it no longer looks like a drunken crab sidled across the page when I write. Cheers!
Ha! "At least it no longer looks like a drunken crab sidled across the page when I write" < -- I *love* this! Keep up the good work; I'm so glad you're re-vamping your writing!
I loved Her style and teachability for those of us who are beginners. I am looking forward to trying out the free worksheet. Thank you so much for your time and energy to help us newbies. Debi
I haven't had a chance to take the full online course yet, but this is a super helpful demo! I especially love that you showed us each letter. I wouldn't know where to start on some of them!
Going back to calligraphy after 40 years of, erm, life! Things (mostly products!) sure have changed since my high school night class. But so has what one can learn! So much more beautiful than the medieval script with a #C3 Shaeffer nib! Thanks for the inspiration. Now, to work!
Good Morning to you Lindsey ! Happy New Year Lindsey and Family ) Jennie and family xxx Vimeo is very popular with Artists too ) I think the success is due to visual learning, most people are high visual learners. Conferences work also, I attend some but here a lot of people do not focus as well. Multi tasking they say is basically out.( Neuro Science ) Congratulations on your views ! Way to go )
Hi Jennie, and thanks! I actually have hosted all of my videos on Vimeo for the past few years! While I prefer Vimeo as a platform (more user-friendly, I think) it just doesn't seem to get the same traffic as RUclips. :-/ You can find my Vimeo page here: vimeo.com/thepostmansknock
@@LindseyBugbeeTPK oh really ) Yes is true it does not have the same traffic ! I will go and add you ) Thanks ! You have good views there * Bravo, I do not think even Pierre has that many ! He does ad's ...... his showreel for this year is fantastic ! Very creative designer !
@@LindseyBugbeeTPK Thanks, I added you ) great views ! I know Calligraphy Masters recommend you too, they are a great group ! I added to your list here also ! Thank you ! I like Vimeo also ~ * ~
Lindsey I am so thankful for your talent and that you share it with us. The Modern Calligraphy course is beautiful and I hope I can get it down with practice. It seems like my own calligraphy constantly leaks into what I want to learn. I'd like to learn all the styles and I am wondering how you keep them straight.
Hi Lindsey! I send you my email but I did not get the sample sheet, tried again but a dialog box says that I’m already subscribed, what shall I do? Thanks
Hi Lindsey, I am very much interested in learning calligraphy but don't know anything about it. I have a lot to learn and hope I can accomplish my goal with your help. I have downloaded the worksheet. I will appreciate if you could guide me to getting pens that are easiest to use and maintain pen, type of paper to use and where to buy them. Thank you.
Wonder why it is so relaxing to watch SOMEONE ELSE produce calligraphic art? I love it!
I love that you took the time to complete the worksheet with us, it makes it so much easier to follow along. This video’s made me want to sign up to The Beginner’s Modern Calligraphy course that much more! So good to see you on RUclips 😀

Yay!! You are very welcome, Swarna!
So happy to have found you on RUclips! Looking forward to seeing all of the videos.
I can't wait to get started! I got a custom pen for Christmas and I am so excited to start using it

I remember my grandpa used to write like this. I learned from him when I was much younger. I’ve pretty much forgotten everything. It’s so pretty!
Excellent video! Your instructions are clear and concise!
