dude! I love lettering and do it all the time-this gave me some great inspiration and some wonderful new ideas for some upcoming projects! I also am obsessed with water brushes!
It's so hard using my water brush since it's my my first time handling one 😭 I'm trying to fill up my sketch book with calligraphy stuff so thanks for the tips!
I'm really freaking out about watercolor and modern lettering and it happens that fate has brought me here in your channel! I really like it when you always say "light" and "heavy" with those strokes. It makes an impact to those people who want to learn modern calligraphy! Teach us more, senpai! :*
Ha! So glad it's helpful! If you're not subscribed to my blog yet, head over here: every-tuesday.com/freebie-subscriber-goodie-pack/ because I'll be sending some free brush lettering with watercolor training over the next few weeks via email!
This style of writing sure""" is very very different from the letter styles that I learned to paint in Sign School in 1971"".... I love your style very much because I can use it so many ways. For that., thanks a million, I will keep watching your videos!▪︎▪︎¡gracias!
Just saw that Amy Tangerine is a new subscriber! Too funny because I subscribe to her. Just found you and just started trying to dabble in hand lettering. I learned so much from this video! Hoping you will do more. You break it down and explain things so well and just make it easy. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you!
Yup subscribed for sure!!! I am going to have some fun watching you and learning from you Teela (love your name). I am also loving the fact you love dogs too! Thank you so much for doing such really clear video's for us. Look forward to watching more! Sue Victoria BC
Teela (beautiful name by the way), I have just subscribed to your awesome channel! I am a newbie at brush lettering so I have a long way to go but I wanted to ask you, "how do you determine the base line (if that's what you call it LOL) of each individual letter within a word"? This is most challenging for me, along with the spacing between each letter within a word.....guess that tells me to keep practicing eh! Off to watch more of your YT tutorials. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent with us Teela!
+Teresa Kannenberg I'm glad you found me, too! I don't on a weekly youtube basis, but may change that, as I'm getting more requests for it :) Instagram's the main place I share timelapses, but I often do over on my facebook page, too :) facebook.com/everytues/
Hiiiii!!! your video is so cool and i check the link in your bio and my waterbrush is the exact same one as yours but for some reason mine is never pointy when I use it and this is the first time i ever use it (i have only used the smallest brush so i was confused how when u use the small brush the lettring is so tiny)
+Icelo90 The medium has been the best for me to practice with because it's easier to get really nice weight contrasts right away, so I would start with that first :)
HiTeela. Thanks for this tutorial thou I have a question. I am trying calligraphy design like you did for " Hi this is" but as I try the upward stroke, it seems that I cant get the thin line since the brush is so soft and as if the tip of the brush is not that thin . I still get the thick line for upstroke eventhough I am doing the light stroke. i am using Small water brush and a calligraphy pad acid-free 100 gsm paper is it okay for water brush? hope to hear from you thanks
HI Teela, I enjoyed this tutorial very much so I went to check out your class. I am confused. Do you have to sign up for a premium plan. I thought you could access h classes for free and just join the premium for certain benefits. Probably naive of me, but I did get the impression I could take your class for free. Am I mistaken?
Can you teach how to do gradients ? I've seen so many pretty watercolor lettering where the letters have almost rainbow colors and I can never figure out how it's done.
+MYT CR8TiV hey! Check out my full waterbrush lettering class - I go into a lot of detail sharing exactly how I create color blends/gradients: every-tuesday.com/skillshare-waterbrush
Can i use a 150gsm inkjet paper for handlettering using water colours? I need to buy some papers and only these are available in a bulk online. Are these appropriate?
Hi Teela, can I use watercolor for kids? Its the only thing I can find in our supermarket nearby. The good quality bookstore is kinda far from my home and it's expensive.
am I able to use any other brand of paint with these water brushes? And what if i wanna put paint into the penbrush instead of water? haha i've just buyed them so I have basically no idea what I can or can't do!
+Moni Losada Hey! I would recommend against putting the paint into the waterbrush since it'll be a thicker consistency than water and will likely clog your valve system and make the brush unusable. You can use any kind of watercolors with the brush though, as long as you have water in that waterchamber :)
+Haydee Rosales staining is completely normal and won't affect the final outcome of your lettering as long as you clean the excess paint off of your brush, so no worries about removing staining :)
My waterbrush got stained and some color got stuck inside the bristles , I added a little shampoo in a mug n soaked my brush's top part fr half an hour n later rinsed properly with water and it was clean again. Try this. Hope it helps.
Watercolor is definitely the way to go using a waterbrush (don't use acrylics, it'll be a nightmare!) - if you're having trouble, you may need to add more water added to your paints or try a different kind (pan sets, tubes, concentrated)
U can find it on amazon its called water colour paper as far as I know cause I got the papers along with aqua brush and paint too if u wanna know about it its called brustros aqua brush
i just had my waterbrush today, and its my very first time to use it. this video is amazing, i think i know how to use it already

She says pentel alot
very helpful! thank you for your tutorial :) btw for hand lettering which brush you recommend the small or medium brush?
+Icelo90 The medium has been the best for me to practice with because it's easier to get really nice weight contrasts right away, so I would start with that first :)
HiTeela. Thanks for this tutorial thou I have a question.

:( No money to pay for classes. Sorry !
Can i use a 150gsm inkjet paper for handlettering using water colours? I need to buy some papers and only these are available in a bulk online. Are these appropriate?
Hi Teela, can I use watercolor for kids?
Its the only thing I can find in our supermarket nearby.
The good quality bookstore is kinda far from my home and it's expensive.
(watercolor palette, the hard ones not the liquid)
or i can use acrylic paint?
the kids watercolors will work fine! Stay away from acrylics, though.
+Teela Cunningham (Every-Tuesday) okay thank you!! :* yea and acrylics are expensive than watercolors :p thank you! ;)
Can I use this lettering on a canvas without any special preparation?
What kind of paper do you use? Or what is recommended? Is watercolor paper usable?
Nevermind, I just had to keep watching and my question was answered :)
Miss Beautiful can I use simple brush..... Plz reply
am I able to use any other brand of paint with these water brushes? And what if i wanna put paint into the penbrush instead of water? haha i've just buyed them so I have basically no idea what I can or can't do!

Can I use poster colors?
I have the same assorted brush sizes
does that get dry and hard if i didnt clean the brush properly?
I SUBSCRIBED!!!
Hello! :) Did you use regular A4 page?
Yep! just plain old paper for practice and plain cardstock when I'm feeling fancy :)
Teela Cunningham i want to start hand lettering. what should i do? :)
Ayça Demirci
Which is better for handlettering pentel or Derwent
+iman khanom I've only ever used Pentel because it works so well. I've never needed to pursue anything else, so that would be my vote :)
what paper do you use?
U can find it on amazon its watercolour paper it is really thick so u know the water won't tear the paper
It's card stock- she tells you exactly what it is a the beginning of the video- much cheaper than watercolor paper.
thanks alot ! :)
How do you remove stains from water brush?
+Haydee Rosales staining is completely normal and won't affect the final outcome of your lettering as long as you clean the excess paint off of your brush, so no worries about removing staining :)
My waterbrush got stained and some color got stuck inside the bristles , I added a little shampoo in a mug n soaked my brush's top part fr half an hour n later rinsed properly with water and it was clean again. Try this. Hope it helps.
ayyyy i have the same card stock but it was 8 bucks...
where i can buy the brush? -Indonesia
+Anita Kartikadevi hmm, I'm not sure about indonesia - might have to investigate art supply stores in your area for something similar?
+Teela Cunningham (Every-Tuesday) ok. it call Water Brush right?
+Anita Kartikadevi yep!
