Oops! Need to Make a Calligraphy Correction? Let's Do This! - Houston Calligraphy
Who says you can't erase a mistake written with sumi or acrylic ink? Mentiras (lies), I tell you! So as I was working on my certificate for the Spencerian Masterclass taught by Michael Sull, I made a mistake. Yes, I am a mere mortal. If you go to your art supply store, they may tell you that it's not possible to erase sumi ink. It is possible to go about correcting calligraphy...with caveats.
Caveats
1. The nicer the paper, the better the result. Cotton papers from Canson, Fabriano, Crane, Arches....names like this are no problem. Metallic papers, thin papers that you need to correct on...forget it. They are not up to the task.
2. Once you have made the mistake, skip the rest of that line and continue. You shouldn't do anything to it until it dries.

Now rewrite it! That's it! Bwa ha ha ha! They'll never know!!! We'll just keep this between us girls :). If you need any more help correcting your calligraphy, there are tutorials that you can find online or you can take one of my courses.
