After a similarly structured class with Elmo van Slingerland, I&#8217;ve become a little more accustomed to working large. Most of the sheets pictured above are 18 in x 24 in. I&#8217;ve done these with a 6mm Pilot Parallel Pen on sheets cut from a roll of white butcher paper. Creamier-toned sheets are Strathmore Drawing 400 paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven&#8217;t taken blackletter from a teacher before, at least not in the past 25 years, and this has been a valuable experience. I missed the previous intermediate class, but I think I&#8217;ve been able to catch up.  (Having taking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.societyofscribes.org\/advanced-blackletter-luca-barcellona\">two<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.societyofscribes.org\/roman-minuscules-elmo-van-slingerland\">classes<\/a> through Society of Scribes now, I&#8217;ve got to say that Phan Nguyen is the <em>best<\/em> facilitator ever.
