@@CalligraphyMasters sir ! my one question ? for school children ( class 1st to class 10th) which is hand writing is better for learning ( for note book copies and examination copies)CURSIVE or BLOCK LATTER
I know this is an old video, but there is so much information given by Paul that needs a real understanding to soak in all the information. Whatever I have learned is all from this Legend! Love the way you explain. I also recommend viewers check the "Yin and Yang Approach " by Paul! Thank you legend and Thank you milen1st for this video.
Thank you for all of the great info. I purchased your manual when it first came out and have enjoyed using it periodically to refresh and review. I also like that it is spiral bound. Hope you are doing well after your Covid and move and that you like your new home. All the best, Gale
I get a real kick out of you . I think my table is too high . I do love to watch you but sometimes it gets to technical for me . I do try and do everything the way you say to do it .. Thank you for your videos .
You will not remember everything all at once. The think about being this technical is leaving nothing to chance. Make notes, stop, rewind, re listen and try to implement it. This really helps in the approach so that you are not causing injury to the body.
Paul, i have been eyeing the new Japanese nib concept in that it is an expensive Tubular format but holds a huge amount of ink. There are various versions stainless steel, brass and glass. I would love to see you review this Kakimori. It comes at around $80 canadian so not a cheap purchase but what i want to know in your opinion is it worth it and what can it do in terms of hands…Maybe you have one already.
Paul Antonio what kind of paper do you use to write on and what is the best paper to practice on and what’s the best ink to start with? A lot of questions but I want to learn it the right way.
Layout paper is best for practise but you have to work out what inks and nibs you have available to you where you are. Not all inks are internationally available.
Hello, I'm new to calligraphy and I'm not a native english speaker. I bought a Brause nib whose reservoir must be filled with a brush. The problem is, at the end (when I finished my paper), there is too much ink on the brush but not enough to fill the reservoir. So when I clean the material, some ink is wasted by the brush. Is it inevitable or am I doing it wrong ? I hope my question is understandable and thank you in advance for the answers.
I LOVE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION❤❤ NO OTHER VIDEO ON UA-cam EXPLAINS SO WELL, GIVES YOU GREAT ADVICE AND INFORMATION 👍🏻👍🏻💯💯 CAN I USE ACETONE OR RUBBING ALCOHOL TO CLEAN THE NIBS❓❓BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND CLEANING THEM WITH SALIVA.
Every minute of the video is useful to me. This video showed me what I did wrong with handeling and preparing the nib. No I didn’t burned the nib but everything else I did wrong
I bought another oblique pen holder, but I find the ink lasts much better with a reservoir (I think it's called a Mitchell type?). However, for some reason I'm struggling to fit it correctly! (I tried using it with red ink and it took 2 days to completely wash it off my hands! Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Planishing the nib with a crocus cloth and and Arkansas Stone helps to get rid of any burs which might be left on the nib. Scratchiness my be an issue of the times not being aligned so look at it under a magnifying glass so you really know what is going on and not guessing.
@@PAScribe Thank you for your quick reply Paul! Was checking that out under the magnifying glass and couldnt see anything unusual (perhaps I need to visit the ophthalmologist) Thank you for your tips! Will try to solve it that way. B
I always put nibs in my mouth, the solution to not swallowing them is to put them in the holder first 😉 - I guess then you have to be careful not to poke your eyes with it (I wear glasses so it’s not an issue 🤓) could you pass my tip on to Paul?
Mesmerizing! Too bad your camera guy was filming you in front of you rather than behind you so I could see the letters forming as you went along. Even for your flourishing....although it was only 'abcdef' - it's nice to know what's coming next. Thank you for the indepth demonstration. Is your silver ring a single/double piece on your fingers? It comes off as one 'unit' not two, right?
That needs to be based on what the script of your culture is. It makes little sense enforcing something on kids which is not part of the mindset of the country they grow up in.
I also recommend the viewers of the Palmer method. "Palmer's Guide to Business Writing (1894)" was released in 1894 first, but the 1922 (?) release and the 1935 versions are easily accessible as PDF on the Internet.
@@CalligraphyMasters sir ! my one question? for school children ( class 1st to class 10th ) which is hand writing is better for learning ( for note book copies and examination copies) CURSIVE or BLOCK LATTER ?
When I found Paul in my early days of Calligraphy, I literally watched every single video on his channel. And I'm very happy that because of this video or a similar video Paul made, I have a good sitting posture and understanding of the tools. And can't wait to convey this knowledge to my classes (by of-course referencing and crediting Paul's work and videos) at this stage, I just wash the nibs with a bit of warm water and massage them with a little bit of toothpaste. But yeah, saliva comes really handy when either you're out or you're in your comfortable posture and Don't wanna get up 😂
I brush my nibs on both sides with Windex for a few seconds and let them sit a few minutes before rinsing them. I use a small, soft paintbrush. The Windex removes oils. I'll try the toothpaste next time! 😁
I just started learning calligraphy about a year ago. And from all the channels and artists that teach all the different lessons of calligraphy.. by far! You are the best teacher giving the most understandable much needed to know information to those of use learning calligraphy
"...cause if you're clumsy and you swallow the nib.....wughh...obviously you will have a problem." LOL! Facts.
I learned more from you in these few minutes than I have from anyone else. Excellent information... and excellent teacher! Thank you so much!
Paul is the BEST teacher!! 👌

The thoroughness of this video done down to the most minute detail is so pleasing to me lol love it. Thank you!
Thanks for this tutorial and information! Very helpful for me as a beginner.
You just saved me from throwing away perfectly good nibs. Thank you very much!
Yep, you're definitely the specialist to be writing the manual. Captivatingly brilliant! Thank you for your time & consideration. Cheers!

I’m just hopping into this hobby, and this is a great tutorial I have watched many now and this is the one people need to start with it is so useful!
"Interesting" "GREAT" Tips!! Thank you!!! (putting nib in holder-never learned that b4)
My own little discovery
Nice to see you again Paul, and thank's for your very important suggestions 🙏🍀🍀🍀Stay healthy 🍀

Thanks
Thank you 😊🦋💚💡🌺🧿👑🐝
Thank you so much for sharing sir 🙏
I have found that polishing new nibs with a tiny dab of tooth paste removes the factory coating and leaves the nib able to hold ink very well.
Great teacher!!!

I used rubbing Alcohol to clean my nibs yesterday, I noticed a change the way the nib writes.

Which minute of the video was most useful to you?? What else you want to see explained by Paul?

Every single minute!! This is great!!!!
cher prf lorsque je commence à ècrire l'ècriture à langlaise, tout l'encre qui est sur la téte de la plume coule sur la feuille !!! je ne sais quoi faire?
That happens because you haven't prepared the nib as explained in this video
@@CalligraphyMasters c'est compris, ça y est, je vais traduire la vidio .. cher prf merci bien ..
Thank you Sir, greatly. Where can I find the first oblique pen holder you were using?
Look up yokepencompany 🙃
Thank you!!
Do you need to prepare the nib before every calligraphy session?
What brand of ink would you recommend Paul?
Paul uses a lot of Pelikan 4001
Anyone can give their opinion. Will platinum carbon ink work with the dip pen starter set I just bought from speedball???
Can we use gun cleaner????
I wouldn’t know. I don’t have a gun so I have no gun cleaner around to test.
Are you still selling your manual? I can't find it in stock anywhere
The manual is currently out of stock. I moved recently and just getting back to working on an update.
Hi Paul! Could I please ask you when getting a scratchy nib (Hunt 22) from the production, how do you solve this problem?
Planishing the nib with a crocus cloth and and Arkansas Stone helps to get rid of any burs which might be left on the nib. Scratchiness my be an issue of the times not being aligned so look at it under a magnifying glass so you really know what is going on and not guessing.
@@PAScribe Thank you for your quick reply Paul! Was checking that out under the magnifying glass and couldnt see anything unusual (perhaps I need to visit the ophthalmologist) Thank you for your tips! Will try to solve it that way. B
For how long should I keep the saliva on the nibs before wiping off?
Around a minute
Could be also less, depending on how acidic it is
I always put nibs in my mouth, the solution to not swallowing them is to put them in the holder first 😉 - I guess then you have to be careful not to poke your eyes with it (I wear glasses so it’s not an issue 🤓) could you pass my tip on to Paul?
He usually reads the comments, but yeah, I will 😁👌
I wear glasses too!
I have a question - what is the best way to store used nibs
What do you mean? In the penstaff? Out of the penstaff? If you have used them and now are not going to used them for a while?
@@PAScribe yea when I wont be using a nib again for like a week. Ive been wiping them clean and putting in a box with a silica gel packet
@@badbastie that is a lot of care.

Can you tell us where to download the practice sheets with lines on them for printing?
They are currently not available as I am switching platforms
