The making of a hand painted, retro auto sign - The art of SIGN PAINTING (Signwriting) | Lettering

This is my latest video, Involving the traditional art of sign painting (Signwriting). In this video I paint a sign I designed, based upon the retro style associated with the American car and auto signs from the 50's.
Sign painting is an craft that has been practiced for hundreds of years, and maybe longer.
Sadly few artists still complete works like this by hand.

Great video. Do you have to wait for each colour to dry on the writing or just keep going

[@charliekingpine3893]

Hi most interesting to watch how it's done, I like the styles you are doing, the look great, thanks for sharing it with us

[@theletterhead]

Thankyou, You are welcome

[@D-me-dream-smp]

So satisfying to watch thanks. Such straight lines. I would be interested to know the process on how you select which font, style and colours you decide to use for a sign.

Hello Masha, as part of my job I spend a lot of time wording on sign design. Gives my access to a large amount of fonts and some great design software.
Using that I can test some ideas I have to dry run them before I start.
I usually change some things when painting, but I have a good idea where I'm starting.

Did you free hand and measure out your letters? Or trace them?

[@theletterhead]

Hi mate, this one was from a traced drawing

[@luzbarrera5299]

That 's wood?? Did you use primer before the paint??

[@dgartstarashhomedecorillus9579]

Your painting is really beautiful, I am saying from Bangladesh, what is the name of your country?

[@theletterhead]

Thanks very much, I'm living Ontario in Canada, but I am from the UK originally.

What's song's name?

[@theletterhead]

The musics for this one are all royalty free tracks from my video editor. Afraid I'm terrible with the names.

[@thomasdavenportiii8365]

i can do this without tape or lines..just average printing

[@oreo_of_doom]

Oh really? I would love to see you do better. It seems like you are all talk and it also seems like you know nothing about sign painting. So how about you stop being a troll and find something better to do with your time 😂
