Pointed Pen Basics HD

- POINTED PEN BASICS is something I recorded for the students in my online classes. The information, I hope, will be helpful to anyone who is picking up a pointed pen for the first time. It will help with table set up, proper posture, pen hold, nib preparation, ink choices, and much more. For those who are more experienced I hope that you find a tip or two that will be useful to you. You can check out my online calligraphy and illumination classes at www.acornartsclasses.org Private online lessons are offered. Enjoy!
I love your teaching skills. Your attention to detail is phenomenal. Well done!
So many people ‘tutoring’ online seem to try to give the impression that everything is easy. Calligraphy can be easy - if it’s done badly. And it can also be the most beautiful artform and occupy a lifetime of study. Think of the calligraphy of the Arabic speaking world, and of the medieval European monks, who did nothing but write manuscripts all day. Be grateful for their legacy of skill and beauty when you pick up your felt-tip pen and do a few scribbles. And I say thank you to this teacher for taking things seriously.
Unbelievably awesome. I have tinkered with calligraphy over the years but recently picked up an oblique holder and some decent ruled practice paper. I was struggling getting good lines with a straight holder and sure enough the angle of the oblique helps my larger hands. I'm in my 30s so it is taking a bit of work trying to retain my bad habits. I'm not exaggerating when I say that your video is incredible. Thank you so much.
Your attention to detail is exquisite! You cover EVERYTHING in this video! Thank you!
Thank you so much for a wonderfully detailed introduction to pointed pens, and by far the best introduction to the art on the web!
I agree this is the best video I've seen for a beginner. A huge thank you to the teacher. She is fantastic.
I am 38 years old, for the first time in my life I discover that my table and chair height is wrong all this time. No wonder I never able to get that beautiful flow going all this time. Thank you for teaching in such detail. God bless you ma'am.
I'm surprised this video doesn't have more views/likes. I'm a beginner and was trying to find basic information. I went through tons of videos before I found yours. This video was very helpful!! Thanks.
Best instructor I've ever watched. Great information.
Today was my very first experience with pointed pen and your video has answered questions I didn’t know I had. Thank you!
EXCELLENT!!!! Wish I had seen this video in 1962 when I first was learning about calligraphy at art school. Your basics and "tips" (excuse the pun) were VERY informative and appreciated! THANK YOU for sharing!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. You have set me on the “write” path to proper lettering techniques.
This is the best informative and delicate video I have ever seen about calligraphy. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and educational video! I learned more from this than a class I paid for. I watched it a second time, pausing to take notes, and now feel more confident with my lettering. Much appreciated!
Thank you for such wealth of useful information - so many "gurus" with no real content on youtube, but you are the real deal, thank you again.
Thank you for your wonderful instruction. I have read many books and many tutorials, yet your calm voice and concise explanation taught me a lot. Rarely do I find holistic teachers who are invested in passing on the basics and the reasoning for the postures and tools, which are vital to the long term success of the student. I look forward to more of your videos and searching for your work online. Again, my gratitude for your efforts in recording and passing on your knowledge on this video.
A wonderfully lucid and calm presentation, full of insight and information. Thank you!
Today's generation has lost touch in the finest things in life, writing with artistic quality is so beautiful that we should teach our youngsters!.😌🙏
Perfect. All the details from body position and setup first off. Plus I love your office.
You have answered so many questions that I didn't even know I had. Thank you so much :)
Thank you for this wonderfully detailed tutorial on this stunning and old art, very usual. thank you for sharing. Kim in the UK x
Thank you for the detailed instructions. I really appreciate it!
Very good instructional video. It's very easy to follow and all points are cogent; not fatiguing at all, a pleasure to listen to.
Thank you for this amazing video! Basic information explained clearly and objectively!
Thank You so much for this video. I am a total Newbie and live in such a rural area that attending a Calligraphy class would be impossible for me, so I am dependent on the Internet & books for learning. This video was invaluable to me and I would LOVE to see more! Again, Thank You!
I'm in the same situation as you. Gotta love country living. I notice you posted 2 years ago, how have you been doing with calligraphy? What script did you start with?
Well I came here because I had searched 'how to load a calligraphy pen'. BOY, I did not expect to find such an excellent tutorial for beginners like this. Thank you so so much. Is 'pointed pen' the same as 'calligraphy'? I've never heard it referred to that way. Off to check out that website now. Laura
Wow! How not only new technology but also new skills are in Calligraphy.
Wow, what a great video! Nobody told me about prepping the nib and I almost gave up because nothing was "writing" as the ink was sliding off the nib. Thanks so much for making this.
Muchas Gracias!!! Pointed Pen Basics HD, por vuestra amplia explicación, me ayudó mucho!!!
Por otra parte le felicito..., muy en especial por compartir y difundir este valioso material tan agradable y fino!!!
También puedo notar que cuenta con un extenso material y utensilios para la Caligrafía Artística, los manguillos oblícuos muy lujosos, el tintero decorado de cristal... sin palabras...., de verdad poseé unas verdaderas joyas.
Continue adelante, Ánimo!!! Ojalá algun día le pueda compartir parte de mi humilde trabajo, ya que esta es una de mis actividades preferidas.
Saludos respetuosos desde México.
Thank You! The best video with the best information for the beginner. Great practical advice, great hints! I look forward to more videos.
Thank you for making this excellent video. I found it while searching for the proper way to hold this kind of pen and you more than answered my questions!
Beautiful master class ! Lovely studio ! Thank you so much
Informative video. I loved the inch-worm story also. Spence RIP
This was well presented and clear to follow. You have a pleasant voice and I love your studio. I used to do a lot of music manuscript and have many selections that were published long before computers took over. That is why I want to try this art form and just enjoy it. Thank You!!!.
Thank you so very much! This video is just what I was looking for and it took me a couple days to find. I am so new to this that I feel like a kindergartener! I am sure your videos and the recommended Iampeth association will give me a great beginning in my new endeavor. I have no idea how much to expect to pay for one of the pointed pens like you showed but I am totally in love with them. When I first started watching videos I thought I just needed a better fountain pen. I am so glad I kept watching before I invested any money in a pen. The type of calligraphy I am interested in learning would not be achieved I believe with a regular fountain pen like I thought I needed. I have the hope to achieve at least a nice basic foundation for my calligraphy training so that I might actually learn to write some of the less fancy alphabets I have seen. I would dearly love to make my own greeting cards with my handwriting instead of always using decorative rubberstamps. I think the satisfaction factor would be improved greatly. I look forward to learning much from your videos. Thank you again for sharing them!!!
It's been a while since I was looking for a real informative video about pointed pen. Everything's in there so, thank you so much for you job ! And sorry for mistakes but I'm french. Love from France !
Thanks much for your comment. Glad you found it helpful.
Excellent training! Would love to hear more from you. (Your nails look really nice too!)
Thank you for explaining this intro so well and detailed.
Thank you! You have prevented me from making basic mistakes as a beginner. Also, I am going to use the playing card hint on my guard paper when I draw (and loosen my death grip!)
A really enjoyable video video and easy on the eye. I'm new to calligraphy although I've used fountain pens all of my 63 summers. From the UK, my best wishes. Tim
outstanding video--and so thorough! Thanks a lot for your contribution.
I have looked at several sites but you are what i need! I agree with adaelizabeth. you dont talk down and go slow. as some say, you are my people! i have subscribed.

Thank you for this delightful and informative video!
Thank you so much! I am finally finding time in my life to spend time learning this this beautiful writing. Also I’m working on Sull ‘s American Cursive hoping to teach children, starting with my grandchildren. I love your guard sheet method, and explanation of the importance of proper posture and muscle development.
Because of you I prevented my mistakes which I always do
Thank you, for the nice introduction.
This is a very informative video. It has answered a lot of questions I had, and now I have even more. Surprise, eh? Thank You.
What an amazing informative video. Thank you so much for your expert advice.
Great intro and great helpful tips - even for those that do use dip nibs regularly
Very interesting information for beginners. Many thanks for sharing.

Great, comprehensive video! You're a natural instructor. I'm left-handed. Do lefties use the same type of oblique pen, is the flange on the left side for lefties? Thanks! I subscribed!
Thank you so much. Great introduction and explanations!
why do you stop making videos ?i really like your videos ! they are really detailed, to the point and just what i need!
I pretty bad in inglish, but your way to explain helped me a lot. I understood well. Thank you.
great presentation....
Great job Maam! Thank you!
unbelievable video... Super thumbs up
Fantastic video, thank you!
Wooww... Beautiful penholders, what measures do they have (length and width)?
Good refresher. Thank you.
Thank you for this beginning instructional video. I had calligraphy lessons years and years ago, but never did I learn what is being used today. I sit down to practice and I am immediately lost. Your video began with correct posture and table height. That was sooo helpful! I like the suggestion of the guide sheet (a forgotten tip) and the playing card. Good tip for gliding. I have cleaned my pen nibs with alcohol as was suggested by other teachers, but I find the Daler Rowney Pearlescent acrylic and the Dr. Ph. Martin's Iridescent Calligraphy Colors still blob on the paper. There must be a dilution suggestion that I have not heard. I do have a recipe for Pearl Ex. That one topic is something that I have tried to search out. "What happens when method for preparing your nibs does not seem to work." I figure it must be the manner I am using any given ink. I have not used my Sumi ink yet, but have used a bottle of Speedball ink that we used in class. The ink does not dry quickly and remains sticky weeks later. Another topic that I hope to see listed is what nib to use with what ink. I did wonder about lighting. I recently saw that natural daylight is recommended - you have Ott lighting which I have thanks to my days of fine handsewing. Again, thank you for your wonderful video. More, please. RIP Spence ✝
This is
Perfect, a lot of info for beginers! (Like me) tnks!
C-THRU isn't a company any more So those rulers are now made by Westcott and are less quality. The C-THRU ones were so good, and I think the lines were printed inside, the Westcott are printed on the outside and wear off over time. Thanks for listening to my ruler nerd podcast
Thank you very much for all of the tips... It's really helpful... 😊😄👍
Thank you so much for your video. I lived in Hong Kong
I will be teaching in Hong Kong in the fall of 2017. Hope I get to meet you there!
Amazing video - thank you
Thankyou. Excellent tips.
Great video!! #CalligraphyMasters #KeepWriting thanks for sharing :)
Do these tips apply to lefties or would they be different? Luv the playing card tip! Would Bristol smooth paper work as blotter paper?
Great video thanks. Dont you use a spring under the nib to hold the ink?
finde ich sehr gut erklärt. Viele neue Erkenntnisse für Copperplate
Where can I buy a pointed pen?
Thank you for sharing it was a big help
Gracias por compartir.!!!
30 minutes before she actually started to write something... Kudos for that
But the oil transfers on the guard sheet so it is the resistance and same result without it.
