I've never tried brush lettering before but I really love the style of it so I thought this might be a fun new craft for me to have a go at.

The book is aimed at beginners so it starts with the complete basics. I didn't own a brush pen so I bought the one recommended by the author, and I do have some watercolour brush pens which I'm hoping to try out with some of these projects. The book starts with the basic techniques and brush strokes which you can build on, just some simple mark making exercises. I worked my way through these, then I moved on to copying some of the practice phrases. I didn't find it easy at first and I'm a bit wobbly, but I'm really pleased with how well I managed to get on with it! It's a really mindful craft and in fact there is a chapter about mindfulness and how the repetitive strokes of the lettering focus your concentration and let you lose yourself in the moment.

I can imagine the enjoyment and satisfaction that you would have in working on a series of projects, for example a set of gift tags or cards. The book contains 20 project ideas which are grouped by season. I can see myself using the technique this Christmas for things like tags, place names, cards and so on. It's such a simple craft but you can make some really lovely things. I'm looking forward to developing my brush lettering technique so that I can become much freer and confident in my style, and this book is definitely going to help me with that.

I love this modern take on calligraphy, but more relaxed and fluid. I actually had some brush lettering pens, so was able to give some of the ideas a go right away.

Favourite projects are the Christmas baubles, advent calendar and jewellery dishes. My Christmas presents will be better presented thanks to the gift tag ideas. I’m going to make some personalised notebooks for presents too. Lovely book.

Anyone else ever bought some brush pens on a whim at a craft store and then proceeded to let them gather dust in your office? I definitely have! And I've never met a pen or color that I didn't need, either! That's why when I saw "Modern Brush Lettering," I jumped at the chance to put those amazing pens to good use!

Becki Clark makes hand lettering fun and easy with simple tips and techniques! I love the freedom Clark gives readers, by reminding them everyone's hand lettering will look different and the biggest key is to have fun with it! Her style is a little more messy and modern, but always looks great.

Clark's craft projects are fun and simple. They make even the smallest occasions more special and make big holidays like Christmas or Easter feel fresh. I can't wait for the next occasion to make a cake topper or decorate a mug as a gift!

Overall, I give this book 5 stars! If you need me, I'll be here practicing my letters!

Modern Brush Lettering is a newly released guide on the art of brush lettering from Becki Clark, the designer behind the beautiful wedding stationery brand Olive and Bramble.

Starting with the basics, the book covers everything you need to know from tools and equipment, to handy tips and suggestions for words and phrases to use to practice these techniques. Not only does the book help readers to learn the basic skills for brush lettering, but also includes 20 creative projects to test out your new skills. From items that would be great for the home or as gifts, to items for special occasions, there is something for everyone here.

The projects are split into four sections each including five ideas taking inspiration from one of the seasons, which the author explains influence her own work. The tutorials include step-by-step instructions and images alongside tips and tricks, as well as gorgeous colourful photographs showcasing the finished designs.

The adorable handprinted ‘Ceramic Easter Bunnies’ found in the spring section and autumn-inspired ‘Enamel Cups’, both of which combine lettering with floral/botanical designs, were particular favourites for me. I also loved the fact that the author encourages readers to source items such as mirrors and frames from charity shops to upcycle for the projects, rather than purchasing new items to work with.

Modern Brush Lettering is a great introduction to the art of brush lettering and would be perfect for beginners as well as those looking for some fun new lettering project ideas.

This book is a beginners guide to Brush Lettering and includes 20 seasonal projects to follow. But what is Brush Lettering I hear you cry?

The author describes it as a drawing style of hand lettering that is formed using a brush applying a mix of stroke thicknesses; it's different to calligraphy as less rules surround it. I've used calligraphy pens before and they feel scratchy against the paper, using the brush pen looks much smoother, a dainty type of pen/brush that allows you to create fancy handwriting for gifts, chalk boards, wedding cards and much more.

The projects are quite sweet, not all of them use a brush pen, some use a paint brush instead, but the style of writing produced is the same. Each project comes with a number of steps to follow accompanied by colour photography and tips on how to make the writing permanent if she has written on a mirror or a clay dish.

The book also provides a list of suggested supplies and where to buy them in the UK.

Overall this is a lovely book to get you started on your journey to brush lettering. I can see myself applying these techniques to our present tags at Christmas or personalising a birthday gift.

Modern Brush Lettering is a tutorial and style guide to a popular and useful style of calligraphy which lends itself to many uses and is especially popular for bullet journaling. Due out in late 2020 from Pen & Sword on their White Owl imprint, it's 120 pages and is available in paperback format.

This is an accessible and encouraging guide. The author has a very upbeat style and I found myself just grabbing some brush markers I had from my attempts at other papercrafts and lettering and jumping in. The introductory chapter covers tools and supplies (very easily acquired and inexpensive), followed by basic strokes and mark making, moving on to alphabets and building up to words and phrases.

Following a short chapter on mindfulness and the philosophy of process, the 20 project tutorials are arranged by season with 5 for each: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The projects range from total beginner to slightly more advanced, all are attractive. The projects themselves are a good starting point for further embellishment and I can definitely see myself using them as further inspiration. Each of the tutorials include an introduction, materials and alternatives in a bullet list sidebar along with tips from the author. The step by step instructions are clear and simple. The instructions are accompanied by lots of photos which illustrate each step. They're composed well and clearly formatted and it's easy to see hand and pen positions as well as drawing layouts. Pretty much every page has one or more photos.

The book also includes a very short FAQ and abbreviated resource list with specific paints, papers, and inks used by the author.

I've been spending a lot more time with my journal (mostly in an effort to organise my book blogging) and I've found a lot of really good tips here.

This would make a great gift (maybe with some paper and brush pens) or selection for the home library. There are a number of nice projects included.

Five stars. Very useful.

Becki Clark's "Modern Brush Lettering" is sequenced well with a proper introduction complete with holding your pen, mark making, and brush lettered alphabets. It is ideal for the consummate beginner! I was especially impressed that an introduction to using watercolour backgrounds was also featured. Well done!

NetGalley, Paige Andrews

This book is aimed at beginners to the art of brush letters. Which is me!

The book starts by discussing the tools to use and then step by steps explains making your mark on the page including how to hold your pen and the basic strokes you will use to form the alphabet. This is so important because brush lettering isn't the same as picking up a ball point pen.

Once you have mastered the brush, the book gives you multiple projects to attempt with your newly developed skills.

I was interested in this book because I have adored lettering projects from afar. I have even taken classes to learn various lettering techniques, but always walked away feeling frustrated. Clark shares techniques and tools for beginners (like me) and it is written in a style that is easy to follow. I am so appreciative of this resource and look forward to creating artwork for my home and office.

NetGalley, Iris Bryant

I had a lot of fun going through this book. As a complete beginner to this hobby, I found this book to be a really good intro. I appreciated the author's recommendation of pens and other tools (I bought their basic, everyday brush pen recommendation and really liked it), as well as open yet informative written tone. The book walks readers through basic exercises, alphabets, and provides some craft project ideas using the skills you pick up.

Overall, I thought this was a really good primer for beginners. I felt that I had more luck mastering the strokes and letters by watching video tutorials on YouTube, but for people who prefer books, this is a good start to the lettering hobby. I understand that each letterer will develop their own style as they go along, but I would have appreciated the alphabets having small arrows indicating the order and direction of the strokes (almost like a kids' handwriting guide, haha). In totality, this is a fun book and a good start to hand lettering, however a lot of practice and other resources may be required to truly feel like you are making progress.

NetGalley, Jessica Weckhorst

I think the projects are a great inspiration. The detailed pictorial step by step instructions are nice. They also include some simple painting of flowers, patterns and motifs that are pretty and adds to any handlettered item.

I started brush lettering myself about two to three years ago and am always down to perfect my hand-lettering! That is why I wished for this book, and I am still so so so happy that it got granted! Thank you!

I really liked this book! I loved to be able to see a different person's hand-lettering alphabet, so that I can improve mine! And oh my it did! And I also really loved the creative crafts that involved hand-lettering, I will really try to remember those to be able to make my favorites of them. I am already so excited! Before I'd use hand-lettering mostly for my bullet journal, my study notes, or a nice letter on the envelope. I really love how I could broaden my horizon a but and especially, perfect my hand-lettering as well!

For a few years now, brush lettering has been growing and popping up nearly everywhere. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, I never felt like I knew where to start. A couple weeks ago, I found Modern Brush Lettering by Becky Clark in the NetGalley list of books to review and immediately requested it!

The steps and craft tips are great for beginner in brush lettering. Included is also suggestions for which types of pens she prefers. Sections are divided up by seasons and major days. Simple items to decorate and great tips for how to complete each step are mentioned in this great book.

>From steps to practice brush lettering to creating ornaments, place settings, mirrors to hang, wrapping paper, it’s all between the covers of Modern Brush Lettering. Becky Clark also provides ways readers can find her online. Her Instagram is full of great colorful ideas!

This is a fun guide to doing brush lettering projects. There are 20 projects in all, and they tend towards things like making custom place cards (one project has you using lemons as the canvas, another using paper tags that you slip onto pear stems), envelopes, ornaments, etc. You typically will use either a brush pen or a paintbrush and paint. It's a fun distraction and not expensive or tricky to follow. The projects are divided by season and should provide some fun inspiration. Lovely color photos accompany the directions.

There are many forms of art and craft, drawing, painting, calligraphy this specific book talks about brush lettering.
Brush lettering is basically writing letters using a brush pen or normal paint brush in different designer ways. ABCD in simple standard form and ABCD in a decorative forms that is the difference in short. Do not confuse calligraphy with brush lettering. The author gives an excellent introduction to the place the basics of brush lettering , the basic alphabets and methods to draw them are clearly given better than videos on YouTube. Introduction from how to draw basic alphabets and practice strokes and how to hold the pen everything is very clearly listed and easy to understand. There are images as well to make learning brush lettering very easy and fun.

The book itself is beautifully laid out, bursting with inspiring pictures and colour. The step by step projects are easy to follow and clearly written.

This book is perfect for you if you're looking for a basic introduction to brush lettering or you're looking for fun projects to apply those newly acquired brush letting skills.

What I love: Becki introduces the basic brush strokes to practice thin and thick strokes, compound strokes, and some basic flourishes. Explanations are provided in a straightforward manner as if you are having a chat with the author. Helpful hints and tips are found throughout. (As a calligrapher, I even learned a tip that would have helped me in regards to holding the pen and applying pressure when I was first starting out.) Projects corresponding to each season follows the tips and tricks for basic lettering in the second half of the book. For each project, each step has a corresponding picture showing exactly how to execute each step. I recently started decorating paper to wrap packages I mail via USPS. I realize now I should purchase a certain type of paper to complete this project.

I have a few friends who do brush lettering, so have been intrigued for a while, but wasn't sure where to start. This book was EXACTLY what I was looking for! So easy to follow and lays out the whole process in a clear, comprehensible way, with instructions and great images too. From what pens and paper to use to how to do the brush strokes, everything you need to know is here.

I feel inspired by the fab craft activities included too, they're all really sophisticated ideas and none feel unattainable (once my brush lettering skills are up to scratch!). I'm already planning to do a few as presents - I love it when gifts have a truly personal touch and brush lettering my own cards and designs will let me do that.

Very well written guide to hand lettering. I followed along and did all the practice work.
I have watched You Tube videos from author Becki Clark prior to reading the guide so it may have put me to an advantage, but I feel strongly that this book made me much better at hand lettering . I'm not convinced someone without prior experience would be able to just pick it up and start lettering, but it takes practice no matter what level you are.
I loved how she did not make you feel like you had to purchase a ton of supplies to be successful. At no time did I feel like she was trying to make her readers buy a certain brand to be good.
I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about brush lettering and receive a lesson plan with all the practice guidance you would need.

This book is a perfect instruction manual for anyone interested in learning brush lettering. The author provides some brief info on what you need to get started, then gets you lettering ASAP. The exercises were short and concise, coming together quickly into full alphabets and beautifully constructed words. As someone whose handwriting can be generously described as “like a serial killer,” this had me (complete with a lifetime of poor penmanship!) writing a delightful alphabet with about 30 minutes of practice.

The projects that follow are a treat. Separated by season, each project is a fun exploration of how a little bit of fancy lettering can really elevate the finished product. I already have an eye toward making many of these projects for upcoming birthdays and holidays. This book should be a staple for anyone getting into lettering, your crafts, journals and holiday cards will thank you.

I have always taken an interest in calligraphy. I practiced a bit in my younger years at school and even now occasionally I’ll try my hand at some calligraphy for some work posters and always get compliments but I feel like I never really know what I’m doing...

I watch a lot of social media videos of people practicing calligraphy, particularly brush lettering. I find them really calming. This book had the same effect! I loved reading through the different instructions and the advice and all the different ways that you can use brush lettering that I hadn’t even thought about, like on plant pots or pumpkins (my particular favourite, I’ll definitely be trying that) and wrapping paper!

The ideas in this were fab and it’s really motivated me to get some tools and pens etc and give it a go using Becki’s advice!

An amazing book, excellent for beginners like myself. as I begin reading I also kept a notebook with me because I take important notes and later on started practicing. Everything was clearly instructed and their pictures that were quite helpful to see whether I was following correctly or not. Honestly this is the best book I have found on letter brushing because I have had a few others but none match to the lucid manner in which this book was written.

I followed the instruction and started out with small words not more than five letters and I can say that with each attempt, its getting a little bit easier and the words are starting to appear less and less wobbly.
