About the final project for: Uncial Calligraphy for Beginners

Caligrafía uncial para principiantes

At this point you already know everything you need to draw with a flat pen and make unitary as an expert. With all that experience I recommend that you put on the table the materials with which you have felt more comfortable; favorite inks, pen sizes, sleeve and paper.

You can also apply what you learned to other types of projects, you have the freedom to choose new applications if the occasion occurs. I promise you that I will be as attentive as possible so that there is no doubt left unanswered, be patient if my advice does not come immediately, but I assure you that they will be there. Share the experiences that arise throughout the course, you can also teach a lot and we can all learn from others. That's all folks, see you on the forum. Don't forget to rate the course :)”
