Course Description:

By themselves, lettering and watercoloring are two very lovely art forms. Put them together, and you have a dynamite combination that will create some truly stellar pieces.

In this class, I’ll be sharing how you can harness this skill to make some lovely lettering. First, I’ll run through a quick lettering refresher before touching on basic color theory. Then I’ll demonstrate how to control water and pigment to achieve different effects before jumping into showing you two very different lettering styles.

Finally, we’ll create three gorgeous lettering projects together, starting with a simple project and working our way to lettering with all the colors of the rainbow. By the time the course is over, you’ll have the skills to create a huge array of colors, forms, and styles that will leave you feeling like a lettering champ.

Great Beginners Course for Watercoloring Letters!

This course was so fun! I'm a beginner to watercolors and implementing this beautiful technique to hand lettering has expanded my interest further. There's so much information and Shelby explains it very clearly. The pacing is fast but I didn't mind - thank you for the replays as it helps me understand it more when I review it at my pace. Thank you!

Super fun!

The projects were my favorite part. Though I’ve dabbled in watercolor for a while, lettering with it was newer to me. The engaging projects and clear instructions were easy to follow and helpful.

My review

I learned a lot in this lettering course. I know my lettering skills will take time, but with some of the techniques that I learned in this course to enhance my lettering, I will now have more reason to work on them. I usually complete each project several times before submitting my work. By doing this, I am able to work out any difficulties I have and am able to submit a better final project. I have enjoyed this platform and the courses so much. Thank you.
