Pilot Parallel Pen calligraphy demo with Paul Antonio

On Friday 6th November 2020, eminent calligraphy artist Paul Antonio held an online demo showing how to get started with calligraphy using Pilot Parallel pens. Paul was kind enough to send us a recording which we would like to share as it is a very engaging and informative watch. Thank you @PAScribe

I know very little about calligraphy and I feel like I am watching someone do a magic trick! How beautiful.

This was an awesome in-depth tutorial. A lot of the resources I've found don't go into detail on some of the techniques you mention about strokes ("ending the stroke going in, not out"), but you go through this very clearly. Thanks so much!

Fantastic tutorial! Do you have any advice for left handed beginners??

Thanks for showing us techniques that I did not know that could be done with a pilot pen..

Hi Paul. Wrote to you maybe 2 years ago about the Pilot Parallel Pen, 6 mm, with a CURVED modified nib. Have not been able to put it down....scripting something that resembles Copperplate. You wrote back that copperplate is only done with a split nib, and I understand but I'm requesting that you give it a try (I use quality drawing paper for great hairlines)
If you are beyond Doctorate level in Calligraphy, I am a freshman in high school, so I'd like to see a professional do a video on this pen. I've yet to see a video showing pen manipulation in forming the "Copperplate" letters. Fun!!! Thanks!

Are calligraphy writers often artists as well? I guess writing is an art, but you know what I mean.
