A current affairs-related quote for today’s calligraphy practice. This one is in relation to a comment made by Brandon Lewis MP in the UK House of Commons regarding the upcoming Internal Market Bill.
I’m slightly out of practice, and it’s been a couple of weeks since I last had a practice session. You can tell quite clearly with the word spacing between “does” and “break”, and again on the second line, between “specific” and “and”.
I am using a guide sheet with diagonal lines at 55degrees, however I think my leading strokes into the next letter is making me too liberal with the spacing, and then the first letter of the next word ends up too far away from the previous word. Something to work on!
I believe slowing down between words and being more conscious about the spacing before I start to write the next word will help this. We’ll see how that goes next time!
