Watercolor Paint Brush Calligraphy for Beginners

You will start by getting to know Lucía Nolasco (Lunol), who will tell you about her career - from her first contact with letters to her most outstanding projects - and her main influences.

You will know in detail the materials you need to create compositions full of letters and color from scratch. You will learn to recognize the different types of brushes, watercolors, cards, papers, and even how to organize your work table to work comfortably.

Lunol will teach you to work calligraphy based on your experience. You will learn about the different basic calligraphic styles - Script, Sans Serif and Serif -, some useful elements that predominate in their compositions, to then perform a series of exercises that will be less to go releasing the hand with the brush.

You will choose the lyrics of a song or poem to develop your composition. You will analyze the message and the rhythm of it, to give more strength to some words about others in the piece. Next, you will create a color palette and make sketches until you find the final design.

Once you have your sketch ready, you will pass it to the final paper with pencil and little by little you will be painting the letters, adding the necessary effects to embellish your calligraphic composition and give it a more personal touch.

To finish this course, Lunol will teach you how to create some quick watercolor backgrounds and it will take you to experiment with salt and acetone, among other materials.
