This review is from: Calligraphic Flourishing (Paperback)
This book is a great addition to my collection of calligraphy books... and it is unlike any other... I will be a flourisher for sure if I can do all of this... the book is also of very good quality, heavy paper and sturdy binding.. a great value.

A Superb and Priceless Volume,
By R. Fernuik - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Calligraphic Flourishing (Paperback)
As an avid calligrapher, I cannot put a price on this book. What separates your work from the work of other lettering artists is your originality, and I'm afraid that there simply isn't another book that can teach you to flourish with ease and uniqueness.Where other books would have you copy examples, this book aids in learning the principles behind what makes some flourishing beautiful and what makes others look like hen-scratch. You can apply Hildebrandt's formulas to your flourishing practice until they become second nature... then the sky is the limit. If you find your calligraphy looking too basic or lacking, try flourishing. When used with economy, flourishing can make a world of difference. But you can only learn to properly execute flourishes with this book. I promise you, you will not find another like it. |
