Recently, I’ve been down some fascinating research and experimenting rabbit holes with father Catich’s wonderful book »The Origin Of The Serif«, a must-read for understanding the Latin alphabet and its history a bit better and more in depth. The archaic monoline Roman Capitals that are still very close to its Graeco-Phoenician-Etruscan predecessors are such a joy to write with a glass pen and some watercolors! Tried my hand also on Roman Cursive Minuscules based on Gottfried Pott’s (#gottfriedpott) and @julien_chazal’s versions. #calligraphy #kalligrafie #kalligraphie #caligrafia #caligrafía #calligraphie #archaiclatin #romancapitals #romanmonoline #romancursive #fathercatich #originoftheserif #lettering #typographyrelated #watercolors #aquarellfarbe #aquarellfarben #schmincke #horadam #horadamaquarell #calligraphypractice #letterlove #handwriting #handschrift #flourishforum #federflugcalligraphy https://www.instagram.com/p/CTKv-pWDzjm/?utm_medium=tumblr

My Schminke Horadam paints and my only Holbien in an old Winsor and Newton pallet. I have a other Schminke set but of the student grade paints. Also yes I have duplicates, they were sent to me by Schminke and I decided to just stick them in so I don't lose them.
