Denis Brown
Tune Up to Play Calligraphy 4 Day class
Tools and Materials:
--Calligraphy pens, particularly of the 'dipping' kind as distinct from fountain pens or markers. e.g. Brause 'Bandzug" nibs (N02), or Speedball C series (N09), or similar broad edged nibs plus pen-holders.
--Pencils; 17" ruler (S271); scissors or scalpel (S373, 374)
--A sponge for wetting papers
--Black ink such as a bottle of liquid sumi (I70)
--Gouache paint : some colors plus a black and a white (WNG331, WNG512, WNGDP-S)
--Paint brushes and palette for mixing paint (BR37) as well as a paintbrush suitable for making large calligraphic marks, like a flat 1" nylon brush
--Some plastic transfer pipettes or a glass one (S141)
--Any other tools you have that can make large calligraphic marks- eg. sponge-brushes, ruling pens (N22), automatic pens (N27), or even just a household paintbrush
--A couple of plastic cups or glass jars large enough to dip your large tools in
--10 large sheets of drawing paper (c.22"x30") which is heavy enough to withstand wetting
--11 x 17" pad of practice paper (P20)
--A pad or several sheets of tracing paper 11"x17" or larger (P43)
--6 or more large (c. 22"x30") sheets of either heavy tracing vellum or (preferably) polyester drafting film (PS100). (This is a sheet like tracing vellum but is made of polyester and therefore is waterproof- commonly used for architectural drawings that need dimensional stability). You need one that has a matte translucent surface (not transparent like acetate).
