Italic Letters: Calligraphy & Handwriting by Dubay, Inga [Paperback]

Description: A complete guide to italic calligraphy. Handwritten by the authors from cover to cover, Italic Letters: Calligraphy & Handwriting by Inga Dubay and Barbara Getty is the most comprehensive "how-to" workbook that exists on learning italic - 181 pages of step-by-step, beautifully illustrated instruction. The book provides page after page of models to trace and letters to copy. Each letter is presented in both a monoline tool, for informal and rapid writing, and an edged tool, for an elegant, formal hand. Dubay and Getty take you through basic italic, formal italic, chancery italic and cursive italic - four classic styles that will earn you a lifetime of compliments in both your formal calligraphy and everyday handwriting. Once you have mastered the letterforms, the authors show you how to use your calligraphic skills to design and produce posters, invitations, letters, cards, booklets, and envelopes.
