Learn brush pen calligraphy from A to Z.
This is a collection of powerful and effective lessons for learning brush lettering. You’ll get our best tips about how to use brush pens, how to hold the pen and position your paper (including tricks for lefties), and how to master those tricky transitions from thick to thin.
It doesn’t take any magic. It just takes practice and the right strategies, which we've compiled for you. We’ve been told time and time again that the detailed tips in this course are pure gold and can’t be found anywhere else.
Calligraphy on Point
Learn pointed pen calligraphy in the Copperplate style.
Start off with an in-depth look at pointed pen supplies so you know which nibs and ink to use, plus tips for troubleshooting. Transition drills and consistency drills will help you master the fundamentals and letterforms.
We’ve categorized the miniscule and majuscule alphabets to help you practice them group by group. You’ll also learn how to write the numbers in several styles.
Letter Logic
Learn dozens of variations for lowercase and capital calligraphy letters.
You will learn exactly how to alter the basic components of your letters in an easy-to-follow way in order to create letter variations and styles on your own.
Our method has been called “genius” and “brilliant” by our students!
Bounce Lettering

Bounce lettering is a flowy and modern calligraphy style. In this course, we’ll teach you 3 styles of bouncing for each letter and how to form words that are balanced and bouncy.
You’ll get traceable worksheets with practice words to trace, a cheat sheet with our favorite letters to bounce, common letter connections, and bounce patterns, plus a lesson on how to plan a bounce lettering composition.
Our students have called this course a “Game-changer” and love our systematic approach!
Flourishing Fundamentals

Flourishing Fundamentals starts with the very basics to lay a solid foundation, and slowly builds on your skills.

Loveleigh University
Maybe you’ve been practicing calligraphy for a while but just need that little bit of help and encouragement to stay motivated and inspired? We all need that. We were lucky to have each other, but we know that not everyone has a twin who "gets it" that they can turn to ;)

Loveleigh Roadmap
Most of the Pen & Paper Calligraphy courses are beginner-friendly, so you can take them in any order depending on your interests. However, it does help to get some fundamentals under your belt first, before moving on to other things. That’s why we created the Loveleigh Roadmap!
The roadmap is a “course” inside LU so you know the best order to go through all the courses, to keep track of which ones you’ve completed, and to see what’s still left to learn.
