Product Overview

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Faber Castell Modern Calligraphy Kit. The kit comes with an assortment of high quality materials and tools that are perfect for creating beautiful hand lettering projects. I found the kit to be comprehensive, well designed, and easy to use.

The Modern Calligraphy Kit includes 3 Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens in assorted nib styles Brush, 1.5 mm Bullet, and Soft Brush Nib , 4 tubes of watercolor paint 10 ml each, a graphite pencil, envelope and curves template, ruler, practice paper pad, mini refillable watercolor brush and instruction booklet. All of the tools are well made and I was impressed with their quality.

The instruction booklet is very comprehensive and detailed. It starts at the basics of calligraphy lettering and goes all the way up to more advanced techniques such as adding dimension with watercolor paint and creating shadows, flourishes, and banners. I found it particularly useful as a beginner since it gave me a step by step guide on how to create different lettering styles.

The Pitt Artist Pens are especially impressive because they are archival, waterproof, permanent, acid free, lightfast, and odorless. This means that your artwork will last for many years without fading or smudging. The colors also come out vibrant and sharp which makes for beautiful calligraphy projects.

Overall, I am very pleased with this product. It is perfect for beginners who want to learn calligraphy as it provides all the necessary tools to get started as well as detailed instructions on how to create beautiful lettering projects. Even experienced calligraphers will find this kit useful as it has everything you need to take your artwork to the next level. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for an easy way to start learning calligraphy lettering or improve their existing skillset!
