Ken Brown
Decorative Painting
When Master Calligrapher Ken Brown left Oklahoma State University
in 1961, he had no idea that what he had learned in an architecture
class would change his life forever.
Upon signing up for an architecture class during college,
he discovered the art of hand lettering. Although his first
10-line poem was crudely lettered, the work of the more experienced
students inspired him. He was now determined to master this
beautiful art.
Ken first made his mark by winning a contest sponsored by
the Hobby Industry Association (HIA). He won "Most Original
Promotional Piece" by calligraphing on 22 separate mini blinds
and sending them to key industry contacts. This win scored
him his first big order, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Ken Brown has two complete calligraphy programs with Plaid
that will help you teach yourself the art of calligraphy.
His unique 14 stroke method makes is easy to learn. Calligraphy
with Ken Brown uses markers and templates to help you learn
to perfectly form and space your letters. FolkArt Brush Lettering
uses the same strokes to help you learn to create these letters
with a brush. The result makes a beautiful addition to decorative
painting pieces.
