Brush lettering and water color painting
Thursday, April 07, 2016In February I went for a free clay sculpting workshop by Art Detox. It came with a free colouring book, which I got all excited about and went to buy a set of water colour set from Spotlight just for it.
The water colour set was only $18 and the brushes were on discount, so I got a set of 4 for just $7. I started colouring the book and then went on to try brush lettering, when I discovered that I actually had a notebook of sketch paper material.
So I started painting and writing. And sometimes it feels like i'm making no progress. While at other times, I get such a deep sense of satisfaction and surprise from what I could produce.
This was the first "artwork" I produced. I didn't trust myself enough to write across it, and it's still empty now.
As time passed, I got more confident and looked to try new styles. I learnt that I'm better at painting than writing too. I had to spend so much time learning the strokes of each character and learning when to press down on the brush. The amount of water and paint to use was tricky too.
Currently, I'm just working on improving my words and developing more confidence. I found these artist's works particularly inspiring, and it's a great place to start referencing if you're new like me. It's funny how both of them got the same name.
Pinterest is a great place for inspiration and tips too. I currently rely on my "Brush lettering" and "Words of wisdom" board whenever I practicing.
