The Art of Watercolor Lettering: A Beginner's Step-by-Step Guide to Painting Modern Calligraphy and Lettered Art

Wow. You dont understand the magic of watercolor lettering until you come to the rainbow colors and galzy letter patterns and how to get those effects with wet on dry and wet on wet techniques. you dont know how the final lettering of the colors is going to be, which lends charms to the technique. the author very clearly laid out all the choices of materials. color cakes vs pans (look absolutely cute), liquid color and later on there's a choice to use food coloring with a caveat about its unknown archival property. There are many alphabet patterns at the end. Recently I had learned a little calligraphy from these books and when I had to write in a fareell card, then i recalled I could use that new learning and wrote it in the form recalling the rule of thickening the upstrokes and before that I practised on a scrap paper. I know with experience that by spending soem time in reading a book like this, you add another creative tool to your social writing skills. Any of the outputs using these techniques will also make for a customised gift as you might have seen some words that you like somewhere but now you can put that in the colorscheme your giftee likes.
