A modern calligraphy course for all skill levels
Learn my unique approach to brush lettering that has made so many people say "this finally made it click for me"
The Ultimate Brush Lettering Course covers everything beginners actually need: strokes, letter forms, connections, bounce, special effects, and a final composition, all in a self-paced format that goes at your speed.
We're diving into a unique 4-step system that I created after learning the hard way, so you don't have to.
We're creating your signature, unique mark on your lettering by diving into special effects, embellishments, and illustrative elements that you can explore and infuse into your calligraphy to make it stand out.
The Ultimate Brush Lettering Course
The course moves through five clear stages:
By the end, you'll be able to approach any lettering project with a clear process, break the rules intentionally, and add the kind of flourishes and effects that make a piece feel finished and uniquely yours.
5 modules • 45 practice sheet pages • Lifetime access
Bonus 39-page resource guide included!
Module one
Before you ever pick up a brush pen, you'll build foolproof letter structure, learn the common mistakes that trip up beginners so you can sidestep them entirely, and set up your guidelines and worksheets so every practice session counts.
By the time you get to brush pens, you already think like a calligrapher.
Module two
The strokes behind every style you've ever admired, broken down so clearly that you'll feel the difference in your very first practice session. This is the module that makes everything else make sense.
Module three
Lowercase, uppercase, and the connections between them, taught so you understand the logic of each letterform rather than just tracing shapes. You'll finish this module with a complete alphabet that actually looks like it belongs together.
Module four
Bounce, flourishes, embellishments, and special effects that take your lettering from "I learned the alphabet" to "I made something I want to frame." These are the techniques that make people stop and ask how you did that.
Module five
A full quote composition workshop that teaches you how to plan, thumbnail, and execute a finished piece from start to finish.
You'll leave with a repeatable process you can apply to literally any lettering project going forward.
So simple, clear and concise. I’ve taken a bunch of classes from other teachers online where I feel like I have to take a thousand notes to get the concepts being taught. Not with Peggy. Her instructional style allows you to follow along and ingest the information without the need to take but a note or two.
This is when calligraphy clicked for me. No one else has explained modern calligraphy like Peggy, and I feel like I know the secret handshake to learn this skill now. Knowing exactly how to form the letters, their relation to each other, what to focus on - this is what I have been needing.
My practice before now has been a shot in the dark. Now I know exactly what to do to improve, and I am so excited to get going!
I finally had a breakthrough moment! The way the Peggy teaches the strokes and the space and balance of the letters is SO GOOD! I’m so excited to keep practicing with the principles I’ve learned in this course! Thank you!
hey I'm Peggy
I'm the artist and educator behind The Pigeon Letters, and I made a lottt of mistakes when I was first learning brush lettering. I bought the wrong pens, practiced on the wrong paper, and spent way too long wondering why my letters looked so different from everyone else's.
Nobody told me about pressure control. Nobody explained why strokes come before letter forms. Nobody showed me how to connect letters in a way that actually looked intentional.
This course is what I wish had existed then. Everything I learned the hard way, taught in the order you actually need it, with practice sheets designed to make each stage click before you move on to the next one.
None. This course starts from the very first stroke and builds progressively from there. If you've never picked up a brush pen, this is exactly where to start.
The course includes a tools and materials module, 45 pages of practice sheets, plus a 39-page bonus resource guide that covers everything I recommend.
To get started, you simply need a piece of paper and a pen (or pencil)!
4 hours, 26 minutes of video instruction across all layouts and lessons. It's designed to be worked through progressively on your own time.
Yes, indeed! You will find closed captions accompanied with all video lessons.
You'll enjoy lifetime access to the course so you can learn at your own pace and revisit the content whenever you need a refresher.
