Student Judy from TPK's Intermediate Modern Calligraphy Online Course (thepostmansknock.com/intermed...) asked me how I arrange my desk when creating gold calligraphy. Where do I keep my paintbrush, my cleaning water, and my pan of gold watercolor? While my set-up varies daily, this is the main format I use.
I love using gold watercolor to write gold calligraphy because it offers a rich, luminous sheen that captures the light in a truly magical way. Unlike gold ink, which can sometimes be chunky or inconsistent, gold watercolor provides a smoother application. It allows for more control over the opacity, ensuring each stroke looks evenly radiant. Furthermore, watercolors can be easily reactivated with water, making them a more forgiving and versatile medium, especially for beginners or those aiming for perfect consistency in their projects.
