You heard of watercolors. You probably heard of lettering. And I’m sure you heard of WATER! (It’s pretty essential for life.)

How about, WATER LETTERING?!

Despite what you think, this is actually pretty straight forward. It’s exactly what it says it is. DOING LETTERING WITH WATER. And it’s hard to see and difficult to control and easy to make mistakes with.

Then everything changes when you add the watercolors. It’s like making watercolor washes but in letter form. And every now and then letters touch each other and they are a little misshaped. Those mistakes are where the uniqueness comes from.

You add a drop of watercolor with your brush and colors start running from one letter to the other. You add more colors. They start to blend but you are never 100% sure what the end result is gonna be. And it’s always prettier than you imagined.

Then the pen comes in. It corrects the mistakes of watercolor a little but adds some more mistakes. It gives you a chance to tidy up a little or make even more mess.

So altogether, we are in for a treat. I don’t know what you're gonna get at the end BUT I'M SURE YOU'LL LOVE IT!
