Resources wise - the IAMPETH website is incredible.Have fun, ask questions if you have any.If you’ve recently started learning Spanish, you might have asked yourself the question: However, if you have the budget go for it, just find proper instructors like Connie Chen is great. just read those free classic books and do frequent practice and introspection. If I could give myself advice to when I was starting, I’d tell myself to not spend on any courses etc. I’ve noticed these styles can be achieved with a thin gel pen even, so can be used in everdy scenarios where you can’t carry your collection of inks and nibs etc. If there’s flexibility, you can explore some “abbreviated’ Spencerian variants, for an example google the free book “C.C.Canan Collection of Penmanship”. I like Palmer script - it’s simple and can be written with a ball point, also old people are familiar with it and like it when they see checks etc.
All that said, for everyday writing you will not be able to always use Spencerian, but you can use one of it’s “derivative’. If you’re not making progress, check your posture (mentioned in the book) and materials, it’s almost always one of those 2. Practice a lot some people like to do everyday drills, I like writing specimens whatever just a lot to get muscle memory is what does it really. For paper - honestly just some smooth inkjet paper that doesn’t blot should be good initially. Nibs - buy Leonardt Principal in bulk and get fancy ones later, These nibs need holders, so look for one on The website of John Neal. Ink - Tom Norton’s walnut ink, buy bulk and use for practice, also mccaffrey’ s iron gall ink which is a bit more expensive but delightful to use. Now reality check - Spencerian scripts” strokes thick’s and thins and even though you get a proper shape down, you’ll have to practice an additional amount of time to get that swelling down as well.Another reality check - Spencerian requires proper material to look good, this is because of the hairline parts of the strokes, so proper ink, proper nibs and proper paper. People recommend all kinds of books, but if you ask me, you can definitely just google the free book “The new Spencerian compendium” and be just fine. It’s movement based, so you’ll need to practice how to move your hands quite a few times. It takes time but it’s not crazy hard to learn.
