*CAN WE GET 50000 LIKES ON THIS VIDEO FOR SUZANNE???*
Calligraphy Masters you deserve more than that :) great video..
I think 500.000 likes it is amazing
It’s 6k now. Strange pen but beatific results
6.5k now. Suzanne does beautiful work. I'm just beginning and only have a Manuscript pen, not a beautiful offset like that one...If you don't mind me asking, how do you price work like this. I hope to one day do work like this for a living.. along with watercolor cards... think those two make a good combo.

People don’t know how HARD it is to write calligraphy that slow and steady. When I do calligraphy, I have to do it fast so the line aren’t squiggly. This lady is so skilled and talented to be able to write like that, not to mention her font is sooo elegant!!😍
It came completely naturally to me.. I thought it was so easy and a lot of people thought I was crazy or some savant at calligraphy, but I think my background in Graffiti and art just allowed me to have a really steady hand, but also a great understand of letters and feel for how to use the ink/paint.. Spray paint is in some ways similar to Calligraphy. With the angling of the can and the spray and the quick changes in pacing and movements to achieve a thinner or thicker line.
Art isn't mumble rap. Try art is not reproducible.
Read "Calligraphy Masters" 😎
It's not a font, in calligraphy they're called "hands". Copperplate is an hand.
Yes. You are right. I have to write fastly or my handwriting looks trembling.
I believe writing like this makes you a better person
☺🇮🇳🌬💜🖤💜👍
I do calligraphy like this myself and I must say it is very relaxing and calming
@CursiveCutie - Your suggestion is an insult to this video. Some of the ugliest letters on CZcams. So ugly the comment section has been turned off.
Exactly that's why I'm learning
@@Taytay583 good luck
It’s bad enough to think that we have misplaced the art of writing a letter, but this is a reminder that we have neglected so much more. Bravo, Ma’m. A work of elegance! Thank you.
This was the calligraphy equivalent of watching Bob Ross on PBS - simultaneously soothing and awe-inspiring!
That’s amazing! I didn’t know human hands could create such perfection.
Of course!! You can too ;)
@@CalligraphyMasters I want to learn this if you could help please master
It’s better than a computer generated text. We have lost appreciation for these things.
Never imagined this can be human :) any good place to teach these techniques online ?
We live in fast times no one has patience to write like this today, its a work of art, simply amazing, God bless
I absolutely love how this isn’t sped up and making you feel like everyone can do this as quick as other people write normally. It takes time and patience and makes me feel so much better 😂
*Watches 4 minutes, completely enraptured*
Me: Is it possible to learn this power?
Yes
If you have much time
Practice between applying the shoe cream and brushing.
Belief & patience in you, being never afraid of failure, sticking to the basics will get you the letters you want.
Imitation is the mother of invention, keep this in mind.
totally possible
It’s a joy to watch someone who is really good at their work. Pure Inspiration. Please more…
:)))))
Exactly
What did she write??

watching this is satisfying and listening to her talk bout the pens... man... i don't know what tf she's talkin bout but it sounds fancy af
:D
hahahahahahahaha
lmao, you have dibs on best comment ever.
No cover your ears it's Genjustu. You'll be trapped in the satisfied illusion 😂
satisfying

Sensacional, espetacular, amei.. Parabéns, lindo trabalho!!!
If I ever get a letter with my name written like that, I'm displaying it on the wall with a fancy frame ✨
Lovely 💖
That’s so funny, I did this for a client with a note that wasn’t so positive. They stated that their name was so beautifully written that they kept the letter.
@@SharronStronghold loool

The flourish part reminds me of the way plants grow...or just nature altogether.
It's supposed to be like this, that's why it's called #flourishing :D Thanks for watching
And that's a beautiful thing.
Nice to see that the art of handwriting is not 'lost' on everyone . Thank you for sharing.
I just showed my daughters and told them: From now on you have to write like this...
Lovely writing !
Greatings from germany
Mar Reu When I was a kid we were taught cursive handwriting. I can’t remember seeing my kids and grandkids report card showing and testing for handwriting. 😔 I guess with technology few people have “cursive hand” anymore.
Want to see some upset people? Require everyone who is due a stimulus check to sign it in cursive script rather than print...😳
No, I better not go there. 😇
Love the calligraphy
@@everettwhite9874 Technology destroys the culture and meaning of writing.
@@everettwhite9874 public schools are funded by taxpayers, so blame big businesses for dodging their taxes for why your grandkids schools pare their courses down to the bare minimum. You WISH it was just removed because they felt people didnt "need" to learn it anymore.
I had to learn cursive writing too, especially when i was the angry kid again and my father told me to write 10.000 times: You have to listen to your mother and do your homework...or stuff like that 😁
It helped me to write in a way, i never would do today, plus i didn't had to do the homework my mother gave me, cause i had to write for weeks 😂
I have been a calligrapher for over 30 years and am quite impressed with your spacing and control, I know how difficult that is!! Kudos!
i,m sitting here with my mouth open, your a very talented lady suzanne, beautiful calligraphy.
Are you from San Francisco?
Beautiful writing, Suzanne. Thank you for sharing this with us.
yikes … the first time ever i watched someone using calligraphy tools … what a treat! such control and authority demonstrated … as though fingers become a ballerina's toes. thanks much for sharing.
Just starting trying to learn some Copperplate script and this is one of my favourite videos as it is both very inspiring and tremendously intimidating at the same time. Great work Suzanne Cunningham, it is absolutely beautiful!
Can not duplicate perfection. You have such amazing talent
This is absolutely amazing, I can’t imagine the number of hours of practice you went through to reach this level of perfection !
It’s 2am & I’m mesmerized!!! It’s sooo pretty. If someone wrote my name this awesome by hand, it’d become a keepsake!
I was a signwriter for decades but this is beautiful...immaculate!!
Maybe this is a sign that you have to go back to letters! :)
Lovely, Suzanne! No sooner had I seen “Com” in the address line, I knew it would be Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. I live in a suburb of Boston and have traveled on “Comm-Av” many times. BTW...your script is beautiful. Mine is not nearly as precise due to neuropathy in my fingers nowadays. Yet I was blessed to have been taught “Spencerian Script” over 50 years ago by the late George Hilliard, a gentleman who had worked in a bank his entire adult life and did all the ledger entries using this script. Can you imagine what that must have been like? What Mr. Hilliard taught me was essentially what you’ve demonstrated in this video, but with a little less flourish.
No wonder you're one of the masters of calligraphy. I'm so amazed.
No one is a master here.. This is just a name... brand ;) But glad you like it !! Thanks for watching :))
Hi Suzanne! I could watch you do this all day. I've viewed this video many times. You are definitely the BEST!!
This is absolutely exquisite calligraphy and you must be a very patient person. The talent you have is incredible! I became mesmerized watching you write each letter with grace and it was just peaceful. I am so glad that I came across this.
"Excellent" ,is a small word to describe my reaction on your amazing writing....💐😊
Your writing is inspiring the people like us who want to learn calligraphy
Mrs Cunningham your caligraphy is everything!!! So beautiful!!!! I would love to have this skill!!
Someone commented below "Calligraphy makes you a better person". I so agree. It is a beautiful Discipline Practice and Meditation. I am most impressed with Suzanne's speed. It is hard for me to overcome the impulse to move quickly (& not freak out when inevitably my Nib catches :( ) Thank you for sharing your Art! Divine.
wow, i have never seen anything so beautiful, and its so relaxing to watch
Mrs_G_Needs glad you like it!! thanks for watching 😊😊😉

This is a wonderful skill. A beautiful masterpiece. Takes patience and repetition. I hope i can get on her level one day.
It’s possible - success to you Marcus
@@guidrydale appreciate it.
IT IS SOOOOO BEAUTIFULLLLL!!!!! And I love listening to your voice explaining what you wrote with the scratching sounds of the nibs on paper. Therapeutic to both my eyes and ears ...
Это настоящее искусство!!! Волшебство!!!
Just gorgeous! I have struggled with capital B's & D's for years, never loving them ... but I love your's and will try to emulate them. I have never tried the side nib pen, but may just add it to my practices.
I also struggle with capital B’s and D’s and sometimes V’s
🇧🇷 Such a beautiful calligraphy! This is art. Congratulations! Amazing job! 🇧🇷❤
I saw one of your interviews and really enjoyed hearing your journey with calligraphy. I admire the level you have achieved. Fantastic!
Elegance at its finest!!!
Masterful perfection is a understatement!!!
Imagine screwing up a letter at the end of the masterpiece
well it happens sometimes :) simply starting over :D
Erasing paste

I am a calligrapher and I cannot count the number of times that has happened to me.
Imagine making 400 of these for all the invitees!
Simply magnificent! Imagine, monks wrote the ENTIRE Bible in this script!
Suzanne, Thank you for this video. It was extemely helpful as I have just begun to teach myself this art. Watching you create the strokes gave me insight as to where I was making my mistakes.
I could watch your calligraphy all day! So elegant. ❤️
I thought I had a beautiful writing... I'm deeply humbled... This is on a whole different level 😮
Anyone else enjoying this with some smooth jazz in the background? If not, I can highly recommend this combo ;)
This is so great to watch such a talented lady showing the world how to write so beautifully thank you
Absolutely stunning - both the host and the skill.
The pen IS mightier than the sword, especially when wielded by Suzanne Cunningham!! I'm a left-handed beginner staring at 200 blank A-7 envelopes which I need to transform into Cunningham-esque works of art. I'm certain I want to use Copperplate but was wondering if you have documentation on the specific alphabet used in your video.
На это можно смотреть бесконечно. И все таки это человеку дано от природы. Научится такой калиграфии, невозможно. Я это знаю. Безупречно. ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНО.
You are so talented, your graceful movement is very soothing, and I marvel at your innate sense for embellishments and flourishes, which you bring together in a wonderfully tailored message!
Absolutely stunning! You are an amazing artist! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful and mesmerising. I do broad-edged calligraphy and can do a little copperplate but nothing like yours. Gorgeous.
Glad you like it!! Thank you for watching & #KeepWriting 😍🔥👊
I am a Disney Artist and I was looking for some artistic inspiration and I'm just soooo happy to have found this video... So amazing. Thank you.
I wish that Disney still made hand-drawn movies.
Just love calligraphy - studied it for many years. Love your tutoring
Omg! You are truly gifted for this type of writing.
Stunningly beautiful! Thank you for sharing . You have inspired me to get my pens out again.
Que belleza! Una artista!
Steady hand with creative handling
It's a blessing.
Beautiful and elegant! It's also good to see that you add lines to guide your letters. Thank you!
I would feel so honored to receive mail addressed so beautifully.
Did it take that long in history to write something?
Absolutely beautiful!
After 1 year later, nobody answered this perfectly fine question!
So I answer this question.
Salutations Shawna Graham! I am Albert! You may call me Geronimo, as it's a form of respect in our home.
And the answer is..Yes! They do!
Calligraphers do this type of thing to create the perfect font for the perfect envelope! As it's a form of respect to the person who's demanding a letter!
De Salutations! (De Salutations is a form of goodbye)
@@geronimo6038 Thank you Geronimo for your response. It seems the further ahead in time we move the less elegant, respectful, caring we become. It’s like we’re regressing as a species. I’m ranting so sorry. Again thank you for your response.
You have inspired me to start practicing calligraphy once again !!!
Thank you very much, Cory
I can't find the best word for appriciation this elegant hand writing
Thanks so much! Would you perhaps be willing to do another envelope video explaining how you choose your spacing and then mark it before writing? This is always hard for me, and I often leave too much space between the lines of writing. So, how close together should they be? This would be sooooo helpful! BTW, your copperplate is some of the most elegant I have ever seen!
madam !
your talent is awesome
Love and Respect from Pakistan
I've watched many videos hoping to learn something and yours is the most beautiful I've ever seen, by far.
Positively BEAUTIFUL!! Such precision. Thank you, you are wonderful to watch and you inspire me
“Whenever I do two letters together I always make them different because its very difficult to get them the same”. She then proceeds to write three words each with double letters which turn out identical!
Tink she meant ontall standing letters but Igy aha
Absolute perfection, this lady is fantastic and very encouraging. Looking forward to watching many more interesting videos, wow - 10/10
Paul Dodich thank you 😊😉
التقدير والاحترام للاستاذة المبدعة في جما لية الخط . مزيدا من الابداع
Dexterity, skill, and grace.
Not sure which is more beautiful, Suzanne's eyes, the calligraphy or the piano in the background.
How about all 3 !! Perfect combination :)
All including the sound created by the nib as it touched the paper and Suzanne's voice. :)
What a pleasure to watch! It makes me sad that not only is calligraphy a dying art form, but that some kids aren't even learning proper cursive writing in school anymore. One day, in the regretfully near future, an envelope addressed this way will likely be returned to sender, because no one at the post office will be able to read it. :(
Well with communities like ours I don't think it's dying art form at all ;)
Sadly our post office system works different. There are computers which read the adress automatically...we need to write clean and in non cursive... otherwise the system can't read it.
@@lexa7590 Whaaat? So, where are the ones I post with my usual cursive? Dead letter bin?
My grandchildren (11 and 15) can't read cursive, so they have no idea what their grandparents have written in their birthday cards. Oh well, they probably don't care - as long as a $20 bill falls out of mine. And $100 from the other grandparents. 😔😁
Thankfully my kid's are in a district still teaches cursive and easier for my daughter compared to print
This was so satisfying to watch and truly inspiring!! Makes me want to go practice now! Thank you for this!!
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen
Omg I am afraid of saying anything. But then I remember...this is a video. She wouldn’t lose her concentration if I said something 😂 all jokes aside...tremendous handwriting! And it was actually a pretty relaxing video!
Truly a talent I don't have! I bought supplies last year to work on my handwriting and really practice.. it's harder than I imagined but I'm going to try again! Thanks for the video!
Danielle Carbajal there is no talent..its all about practice and not giving up 😊😉
gosh!!! lady, you gave me a complex!! congratulations!! brilliant! love to have you as my Guru.
Wow. This is my childhood passion, I used to do this almost everyday in school during classes. While my teacher is lecturing, I am busy doing this stuff. Sadly when I began to work after college my passion died due to stressful shifts at work. I'm just glad that my 6 year old daughter is now the owner of my old tools since shes fond of it too. Before I don't want anyone touching my tools, now it was me who personally handed it over to my princess.
The best standards of calligraphy and cursive writing is doing it in a tangible way, where the remains are certainly readable and full of style. This is genuine. It is readable and intricately designed as the flows of the waters in a mountain.
Technology destroys the culture and meaning of writing.
Thanks for this great time
Please we want to see more I'm in love with your writing
Greetings from Morocco
:)
That very same technology is allowing you to view this video from Morocco 🤷♂️
@@arnavkonijeti102 and the same technology destroys children and adolescents, gets messed up, without modesty, without ashamed and without self-confident
this is amazing! I just bought a beginner's kit from Hobby lobby with nibs and thought I'd search out some videos to watch. So many are brush lettering, but this is what I wanted to see...simply gorgeous!
Beautifully done. Thank you.
That hand drawn Copperplate script is so beautiful! Your rendering is so precise, it's like watching a neurosurgeon do intricate brain surgery! :)
Hahahah thank you for the awesome comparison
I noticed the open "c" as it happened and I was talking to the television begging her to give it its little hat to finish it off and when she did... sooooooo satisfying.
SAME.
Agradezco mucho que traduzca el vídeo, me quedo hipnotizado viendo como escribe. Puro arte.
I also write in different different styles but the lady is amazing in writing. I love it 😍❤️💕. Where ever I saw such beautiful videos I just don't understand who are those people who gave thumbs down on such beautiful work
Gorgeous lady with a gorgeous skill!
Owenuma Arts thank you 😊🙏
you are my favorite calligrapher!!!
Thank you for the kind words!
Winston po
it truly is art....wonderful penmanship
Yep I can tell you’ve done this a few times before! 😊 I could watch it all day!
Your copperplate is magnifique!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you like it, thank you for watching!!
Excelente vuestro trabajo, es Ud. una gran Artista, Muchas Felicidades!!!, que bueno que la Caligrafía Artística se siga haciendo y difundiendo, ya que muchos jóvenes en la actualidad no saben leer este tipo de letra y menos hacerla. Le deseo mucha Suerte, mucho Ánimo... y le envío un muy respetuoso saludo desde México. Ojalá algun día pueda compartir con Ud. parte de mi trabajo pues a mi también me encanta la Caligrafía Artística, aunque a decir verdad no le llego a su majestuoso trabajo ni en sueños. Le reitero mi Agradecimiento y mis Felicitaciones!!!
una consulta técnica, sabes que modelo de plumilla es la que utiliza?
@@sniper3006308 los aputo abajo de el video
*Smooth writing forms a Beautiful Personality! Leaders need these skills!
I would go insane, trying to do that. Absolutely beautiful!
This is pure art... I wanted to write like that when taking notes on the college, but now I know it's impossible xD
LSkrillex BR oo come one!! nothing is impossible! it's all about the pen and practicing. dont thing that my handwriting is the same. handrwiting and calligraphy are different things 😉
Calligraphy Masters That's true! I'll try to improve my handwriting inspiring myself on this video. Thanks for uploading it though :)
Where can I get Leonardt EF Principal Nib ???
Lo siento, pero esto no se puede catalogar como arte, esto en definición es Artesanía.

It´s so wonderful!!!! I´m learning and is very hard to me get all implement because in my country there aren´t store of calligraphy, I bought a few of them. I hope soon can write as beauty as you kisses from Nicaragua
well you can always buy them online 😉all tool are linked in the description 😊
Gorgeous! And I love the scratch sounds.❤❤❤❤
