I made some time last week for a personal piece 😃. I'll be donating this to the Riverside Arts Center for their annual fundraiser. I've always loved foundational hand, but never formally studied it. This seemed like a good chance to dig in. I've been working from Sheila Waters instructional book. The line height is more like 5 nib widths than the recommended 4 because I wanted a bit more openness on the page. Ink is black gouache with a touch of gold, on starthmores artagain paper. It's about 6" x 18" I think.

More foundational baby steps. Any LOTR fans? Some of it is just 🙈, but it’s the only way to muscle memory! “But in the end it’s only a passing thing, this shadow; even darkness must pass.” . . . #foundationalhand #lettering #moderncalligraphy #calligraphy #leonardt #LOTR #quote

According to the exemplar, there is no lift in this stroke. . . . . . . . . #handletteredabcs #handletteredabcs_2017 #abcs_l #broadedgecalligraphy #broadedgepen #foundational #foundationalscript #foundationalhand #surelysimple_l #calligraphyvideo

Was super inspired by @lindayoshida and started learning Foundational Hand two days ago! Clearly, I have a long way to go. I'm confused - the book I have said the Xh should be 4.5 pw and it's a 2mm nib, but my letters look massive 😳Any input will be helpful! . . . #calligraphy #foundationalhand #winsorandnewton #leonardt

Foundational progress—a little line by (my favourite) Sir David Attenborough. It's the first time I've tried writing a quote and I can see all the glaring errors 🙈but I've loved doing it! . . . #calligraphy #moderncalligraphy #foundationalhand #leaonardt #winsorandnewton
