I feel a little more confident in executing the ovals and the capital shades. The angles aren’t yet there yet but it will improve.
The exemplar is gorgeous!

Spencerian K Take 2
Getting a little more comfortable with this, and ovals and shades
Spencerian K
K is for klusterfuck! This is a beast to execute so a lot more practice needs to be going into this.
The exemplar is exemplary!
Spencerian Shading Exercises
Incredibly hard to execute these, which of course is the reason for more practice.
Spencerian J
The shades are getting slightly less smudged and a little more fluid. The angle of the elbow to the desk, and the angle of the pen to the paper are a big deal.
Spencerian I
Spencerian Recap
Two weeks in, I’m feeling a little more confident about the capitals. Not entirely oval, & nowhere near perfect. It’s progress nonetheless.
The last two weeks (& will keep growing as I add to this album) look somewhat like this. Today I wrote out the capitals I’ve done thus far – and apparently forgot A again 🙂
Spencerian H, redux
meh.
Spencerian G
The letter G is demanding!
The exemplar is beautiful, almost perfectly proportional. And to imagine this was all handwritten – the control, hand-eye-mind coordination required, and the quality of the tools to pull this off nearly 80 years ago is remarkable!
Spencerian F
F is for Failure, as some guy from a YT channel that the kids are fawning over keeps saying.
