Illuminated Lettering: Letter B with Gold Paint and Watercolor by illustrator Cecilie Okada

With inspiration from medieval illuminated manuscripts, I drew the letter B and painted it with gold and vibrant watercolor, touching it up with colored pencils. Time-lapse art video. Using a simple creative process, this letter is a freehand illustration.
