What’s better than hand lettering? 3D lettering of course. This is a class on creating 3D lettering with watercolor paints using white space in clever and intriguing ways. You will learn not only how to bring your lettering to the third dimension but also how to add more interest with negative space techniques using watercolors.

In this class you will learn:

• • What negative space is and how it’s used in art

• • Essentials to get started and get comfortable with hand lettering.

• • The differences between calligraphy, monoline lettering and faux calligraphy and how to achieve each technique.

• • How to scale up your lettering to create full-page lettering pieces.

• • How to convert any lettering to 3D lettering using a 5-step process.

• • Different watercolor paint consistencies, their properties and applications to help you make informed paint consistency decisions.

• • Brush control techniques to paint tight spaces effectively.

• • Where to look for inspiration.

• • How to combine lettering, 3D sketching and watercolor negative painting skills to create a stunning piece of art.

This class is designed for students at any skill level. In each area, I teach by reinforcing the basics to hand-hold beginners but also sprinkle in a lot of useful insight for intermediate to advanced level artists to take their work up another notch.

Throughout this class, you will find me throwing in a lot of pro tips based on my personal journey towards mastering these very same skills. So skip a lot of the intermediate frustration by learning directly from my mistakes and experiments. I’ve also included a ton of downloadable resources that you will have access to just by joining this class.

So if you are a lettering artist looking to take your work to the next dimension (pun totally intended) or you want to explore adding watercolors to your skill set- then this class is definitely for you. Similarly, if you’re a watercolor artist who was always shy of dipping your toes into the world of lettering- you’ve come to the right place.
