I wanted to learn this form of calligraphy script since the 80’s. It has always fascinated me. Ironic the old Islamic avoidance of human/art~but the calligraphy scripting on these books and more as well as Mosques, is totally A R T in every sense and definition of art. ✨ Ps. A true Artist and Craftsman. Absolutely Exquisite! I looked up more videos and websites featuring him and am completely hooked on the art of this gorgeous calligraphy. Outstanding!
Sometimes the paper wont accept the ink, so magnesium carbonate, or baby powder can be used as a substitute, is spread around the paper. This method only works for ahar paper (milled paper specialized for arabic/islamic calligraphy)
