    I am really glad this is out there. Thanks Calligraphy Masters! So many people struggle with the Death Grip. Hope this is a starting point for them.

      Calligraphy Masters As a newcomer to Calligraphy I have watched quite a few Calligraphy/Copperplate RUclips videos now - and have been quite surprised to see ‘the death grip’ some ‘tutors’ have.
      In the space of about two weeks viewing different tutorial videos, it has became very obvious to me that Paul Antonio is the most knowledgeable, experienced and informative calligrapher. (Daniel)

    BEFORE YOU BEGIN. . . . Always, always clean your hands and wrists first!! I simply use hand sanitizer, which I keep at my desk, I then wipe it off along with the oils and DIRT on my hands!! 👐🏼
    This removes the natural oil we have in our skin which can soak into your paper and cause your ink or pen to skip which is very frustrating!! 😩
    It took me two or three years to find out what was causing the brand new refill in my ink pen to cause skipping, it wasn’t the refill after all, it was the oil in my hands soaking into the paper while I wasn’t looking!! 🫤
    Even just handling the paper before use will leave tall tell signs of oil penetration on ANY paper!! 🫢
    I started calligraphy in high school. It has a wonderful way of calming the daily hub-bub we go through! 🙂 A great, enjoyable therapy!!
    Thanks for this video, I really enjoyed the new ideas!!

    In the 1940s, penmanship was taught in elementary schools. The proper way to hold the pencil as well as how to position the paper was emphasized. Exercises were done to achieve the proper angle and the letterforms of Parker penmanship. I don’t know when the teaching of penmanship was dropped, but in the 1960s and 1970s my grandchildren received to penmanship instruction - not even how to hold a pencil.

      @durdenthepunchbowl7922 4 года назад +2

      It was also common practice to force Lefties to use their right hand, which made the act of writing very unnatural, un-intuitive, and created penmanship issues that weren't fixable.

    • @williammoody7570
      @williammoody7570 4 года назад +3

      I received penmanship lessons in the mid '50's while in grammar school, practicing an hour a day throughout the school year. I'm in my mid 70's now and my writing is the same as then, at least according to my wife, who received a lot of letters when we dated.

    Omg! Thanks for my unofficial Sir (Mr. Paul Antonio) for such a another wonderful calligraphy improvements lesson, video. And always I'm grateful to Calligraphy Masters channel for their exclusive episode's from the giant Calligrapher's from everywhere in the World. Today I'm really very excited to see their shop address in Amazon. Now I can easily buy my desired tools from their shop and obviously it will be helpful, maybe experienced items from them.

    Thank you so much. watched the other three videos as instructed before this one. I have struggled with my writing for years (I am 56 now). had moments where it flowed and mainly where it did not. Bought myself a Lamy 2000 this week with a strong desire to finally work out how to write properly. Decided back to basics was in order - your 4 videos have made ALL the difference. Why oh why oh why don't they teach this stuff to us when we are younger? Very excited once again. Big thank you from me to you. I finally feel like I am starting off in the write direction :-)

    To anyone who is interested in starting calligraphy, I would urge you to look further into the teacher in this video's page(PAScribe) and watch his videos and lessons! There are many great teachers on RUclips and on the calligraphy masters channel but I consider Paul Antonio to be on a particular level reserved for grandmasters of the ages. He is someone who has obviously had a deep and consuming passion for his art and has fully considered every aspect of the craft. His knowledge seems endless and he is one of the few people, with any subject or skill, I would consider his craftsmanship flawless or perfect. What I'm trying to say is he is good and I recommend checking him out further 😃

    • @PAScribe
      @PAScribe 4 года назад +4

      The angle changes depending on the script I am writing. I generally work flat when using a pointed nib and a variety of angles for broad edged scripts, the angle changes depending on the variety of broad edged
      scripts.
