A Tour of France in French Cursive Mary-Jane Roussel

The French Cursive style of calligraphy was used in France from the 17th century to the middle of the 20th century. Until then, every school child learned to write using letters based on "La Ronde" (as it is called in French). Mary-Jane Roussel, a Canadian calligrapher and designer living in the south of France, has authored a complete traditional French Cursive calligraphy course, including lowercase and uppercase letters, using a broad nib or parallel pen. To help anchor the formation of the letters in your mind and in your hand, she proposes a "Tour of France", where the names of towns, cities and villages will be written in French Cursive style. In alphabetical order, the tour begins in Avignon, moves on to Bordeaux, then Cannes ... and ends in Zoza. The French Cursive Calligraphy course has been published by the author on Udemy and on Skillshare. Udemy classes are paid on a "per course" basis.
