Traditional Copperplate for Beginners
沾水筆銅版體初班

銅版體Copperplate是西洋書法常見的風格之一，起源自十八世紀的歐洲。銅版體圓潤且線條優美，多年來在書法界享負盛名，歷久不衰。用傳統沾水筆Dip Pen配合筆尖和墨水書寫，線條幼細，高貴大方。

    「西洋書法」知多啲

    • 西洋書法又稱英文書法，英文稱作Western Calligraphy或者English Calligraphy。
    • 小階（又稱小草或小寫），小階的英文是Minuscule。但現在大部份人用Lowercase 代替。
    • 大階（又稱大草或大寫），大階的英文是Majuscule，又稱 Capitals。但現在大部份人用Uppercase 代替。
    • Flourishing的中文稱號有很多，比如字體裝飾、花體字、拉花、隨手繁榮等等。

     

    西洋書法「零經驗」者建議入門程序

    • 西洋書法字體款式眾多，簡單可分為兩類：點尖 (pointed pen) 和平尖 (broad pen)。
    • 點尖字體包括：銅版體 (Copperplate)、史賓賽體 (Spencerian) 和現代體 (Contemporary Pointed Pen 又稱 Modern Calligraphy)。
    • 平尖字體包括：意大利斜體 (Italic)、 歌德體 (Gothic)、安瑟爾體 (Uncial)、 加洛林 (Carolingian) 和羅馬體 (Roman)等等。
    • 當然每個人的審美觀會有所不同，初學者可順著個人喜好，先選擇一款字體開始。但不論任何字體，基本上都是先從小階 (Lowercase) 開始，然後大階 (Uppercase/Capitals)，連字/簡單詞語/句字 (short phrases)，接著學習字體裝飾 (Flourishing)。
    • 如果真的抉擇不到，會建議先學習意大利斜體 (Italic) 或銅版體 (Copperplate)。
