By Charles Pearce:
B2979. Little Manual of Calligraphy by Charles Pearce. $12.95
Charles: "It's not about calligraphy, per se, but anyone attempting to make art in any medium should read it."
B2313. Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland. $12.95.
A11. Twiddling the Pen to the Best Effect -- Supplies
NEED TO BRING: Lots of ink or watercolor, layout paper and large
pens (Coit, Hiro, Automatic Lettering, etc., not smaller than 1/4"
and preferably larger than that). Pen manipulation of the type that
we shall be doing is extremely difficult if the sizes are too small, so
PLEASE bring large pens. You may also bring a selection of good
quality flat brushes, either sable or acrylic. They should be fairly soft
with a certain amount of "snap" to them. DO NOT bring bristle
brushes; they're useless for our purposes. You should bring some
acrylic paint if you're intending to try your hand with brushes.

These poster pens are made of a non-rust nickel silver with a plastic handle. They produce very thin thins. Use them with the tooth blade uppermost. Clean with warm water after use. A new pen should be filled and worked gently on paper
until the color (ink) flows. Any possible sign of scratching will soon wear off with use.
