Younghae Chung – Fearless Flourishing 2019

You’ve admired all the beautiful flourished words/pieces on Instagram, and if you are anything like me 6 years ago, you are ITCHING to try, but don’t know where to start! Good news – there is a method to the madness and I’m here to walk you through the entire process. If done correctly, flourishing can instantly add elegance and elevate your lettering.

Now is your chance to learn! After years of practicing, playing with how lines intersect, teaching hundreds of students in person & thousands online, I’m excited to pass on my love for flourishing. Through this Fearless Flourishing online course, I will walk you through all the basic concepts, demonstrate various letter flourishes, show you the beauty of seeing ovals & more so that you will leave with a trained eye and be inspired to start flourishing with confidence!

Lifetime Access & Updates

I get that life can be unpredictable. We will all start together, but there is no end date to the course. Follow along with the recommended schedule or go at your own pace! With lifetime access, you can revisit the course videos as much as you wish.

Homework Assignments

Move from being a passive to an active learner by implementing what you learned. After each Module, I will be releasing fun prompts via homework exercises for you to put your pen onto paper. Though it is suggested, students have the most success by completing the exercises.

2 Bonus Lessons!

In addition to learning how to flourish letters, I also love ornamental flourishing and adding florals/leaves! In the bonus lessons, we will go over how to incorporate basic florals and leaves into your letters and I’ll also share tips on composition when it comes to longer pieces.
