What is a Brush Pen..?

You will need a brush pen for this workshop, but you may already have some lying around and not even realise it.. Here’s a video and some info to help you tell if your pens are large or small brush pens, and which ones should you buy if you don’t have any yet?


How To Hold Your Brush Pen Correctly

Before you start writing you need to learn how to hold your brush pen correctly.. I do cover this in the Basic Strokes workshop, but this video is more in depth.


The Notes

Print out these notes for the Basic Strokes (which are the building blocks for the brush lettering alphabet)

Practice Sheets for the Basic Strokes

These are lined sheets with the basic strokes at the top for reference. There is one for small brush pens and one for large brush pens, so print the one that works for the pens you have (see above if you are not sure which pens you have).
