Reconnaisance - The Gratitude Journal | Natalie Low Xue Ling

“My journey into calligraphy was accidental and there wasn’t any prior intention to venture into this form of art. It was after a brief introduction to brush lettering and faux calligraphy, that I chanced upon some pointed pen essentials in art shops. I enjoy the tactility of ink on paper and look to Instagram for inspiration and live demos from seasoned calligraphers. Looking back, it has been a surreal experience since 2017. Calligraphy has been a quiet companion, offering solace in the midst of chaos. There were periods of apprehension, the fear of learning new scripts and failing, and the eventual obsession with a new script after attending workshops.”
