Introduction to Copperplate Calligraphy for Beginners (Part 4)
Вставка

- In this fourth introduction to Copperplate calligraphy for beginners, I talk about writing words, its rhythm, spacing and the relationship between each pair of letters.
Writing words is forcing us to answer many questions about the characteristics of the Copperplate script. Every single pair of letters is unique and is challenging us to understand the type of ligature and spacing required.
The letters I selected for this demo have been explained previously on Part 1, 2 and 3 of these short series.

ABOUT ME
I am an independent lettering designer and illustrator specialised in branding assets and calligraphy education.
My creative practice is set by the principals of never stop learning, sharing knowledge and create emotion through my work.
In 2011 I studied a Postgraduate Course in Advanced Typography in Barcelona, and in 2012 a Typeface Design Condensed Program at Cooper Union in New York City.
Nowadays, I split my time between Melbourne and Barcelona working in partnership with brand design agencies helping them craft and develop their identity systems with emotionally charged visual elements including display type, logo design, monograms, wordmarks, lettering, illustration, patterning, packaging and digital assets.

“I already see some problems, but I’m not going to stop” - Maria Montes, great calligraphy teacher I have just found on UA-cam
Extremely well done. Your teaching style is especially excellent for visual learners because you demonstrate and slowly explain every detail. Thanks so much!
You are my favourite teacher 💕
I've learned so much, this is so helpful!
Fantastic tutorial sharing.
Keep continue
Stay healthy and happy😊 💐👍👍👍👍
I’m learning because of you, THANK YOU 😊 You are very good in explaining step by step how to draw the strokes, how to improve them and how to learn from our mistakes. You speak through every stroke you draw and very slowly to give us the opportunity to listen to your voice and write at the same time with our eyes on the paper. You are an amazing teacher and will always be grateful for helping me overcome the feeling of being overwhelmed as anxious every time I was holding my dip pen. I’m feeling more and more confident every day and I love the SELF EVALUATION, it’s helping me to see my mistakes as a learning point rather then being too hard on myself 😊 you are a blessing 🙏🏽🌺
Thank you Giulia, I very much appreciate your feedback.
Yes - a video on more tricky connections like o to s, and o to r would be great
Fantastic video! I’m watching and writing along
Thanks for watching!

Hello. Your videos are very helpful. TBH the most helpful i found on the YT. Please continue doing this fundamentals even I can't wait to learn some flourishing from you.
Very helpful and very well explained 😍 thank you ma'am😁
You explain really well 👍. Thank you for the videos 🙏. Awaiting videos on capital letters. Best wishes from India... 👍🙂
Thank you Maria, very informative and useful analysis.
There are two spaces above and two spaces below.
This means there are four spaces between each line of script?
Four or five units between each x-height lines, depending on if you want ascenders and descenders to touch each other or not.
You are so helpful and are a extremely amazing teacher! Thanks! I don’t have Instagram and I’m struggling with the sheets I have. Is there another way of getting your guidelines sheet? Thanks in advance 🥰

Thank you for your sharing😊 how do you put the paper? Parallel to your body or tilted towards right? Can’t decide by myself 😞
I'm a right hander and I positioned the paper angled to the right to help me with the 55-degree slant, but everyone is different, so whatever it works best for you.
@@iamariamontes thank you 😊... Spontaneously I always put the paper as you suggest. I was just wondering if I was going wrong
Thanks.😊😊😊
