5 Tips to help you have flawless flourishes
When you have the foundational understanding…you’re bound to create gorgeous flourishes on your own without copying others work.
• Are a beginner who is already familiar with brush lettering/brush calligraphy and know the basics in regard to the thick down stroke/thin upstroke rule and how to draw your basic letters.
• Are at an intermediate or advanced level with your lettering skills, but want to add some interest and embellishments to lettering pieces to help stand out from the rest.
What supplies do I need?
• Pencil and tracing paper!
We will be using a pencil throughout most of the course. So no need to be a pro with a brush pen. Although you can certainly use one for the course if you feel comfortable enough.
I also suggest grabbing some tracing paper to use over top of your printed worksheets. (You will need to print your worksheets after you purchase)

10. What is your experience with lettering and flourishing? I just like to know who I’m learning from before I purchase. I totally get that! I’m the same way 🙂 My name is Tanya Levandoski 🙂 I am a graphic designer for over 15 years. I started hand lettering back in early 2017. I took a masterclass course in late 2017 and from there continuted to hone in on my skills by practicing lettering every day, sometimes numerous times a day, for almost 4 years now!
I have been teaching hand lettering for over 3 years and I love every minute of it! One of my biggest joys is to help someone else get that “ah-hah” moment when learning lettering, and then to watch them flourish (see what I did there ;0) in their lettering journey!
One of the things that makes me different from a lot of other instructors, is how I infuse my art and design experience into everything I do including my hand lettering. I am HUGE on aesthetics and composition. I’ve been immersed in the design and art world for all of my life and have done it as my career for almost 16 years. So it’s no surprise that I bring my design background into my hand lettering and ultimately into my teaching style!
