Traditional hand lettering - The art of SIGN PAINTING | Typography | Signwriting

This is my latest video, Involving the traditional art of sign painting (Signwriting), in this video I paint a sign I designed using the font, Royal Signage,
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.

Fantastic! My grandfather was a sign painter.
He came from Mexico, born 1898 and had his little shop in the Mission district in San Francisco.
I still remember the charcoal sticks, 1 Shot paint and mall stick!!

Thank you mate!

These lettering tutorials always leave out the most important part .... how to get your letters you started from bunching up at the end or having too much space leftover!

[@theophania6163]

That’s what sketching and planning is for!

My man...
I could watch you do this all day. You certainly have the touch.
Nothing like the feel of a brush in your hand. The twist is second nature.
Really liked your Christmas sign. Love that vintage look.
Glad we still have guys like you in the biz. Best of luck to ya.

Thanks very much!

Nice video . I just have a question. Why didnt you draw the letters directly on the yellow board?

[@theletterhead]

Hiya, I've noticed the poster board does not rub marks off very well. I'm able to make edits on paper and then transfer, even if I use no plotter for drawings I almost always use paper first if I have a chance of ruining the background

[@reenacreativezone4105]

Superb

[@christopherdelaney6263]

Another great video! This one was a little different. Aside from the soundtrack and the time lapse speed, you really looked you were enjoying this one! From the drawing to the completed piece you seemed to be in the zone with a good flow. I'm not sure if the G in "Painting" was meant to level off like it does, but i dig it! Love the typography! Thanks for sharing! Super chill.

[@theletterhead]

Thanks Chris. It was a fun font to work with. Was too interested in my podcast by the end :s

[@jeeveesumiguin810]

Ido isa po ako sa mga tga hanga nu po, ano po gami nu pintura kc po matingkad ang kulay ng dawa nu po , sana masabi nu po sa kin salamat po ng marami

[@theletterhead]

Hi jeevees, thanks for enjoying the videos. I'm a little confused by the question though. I don't mix anything with my paints to brighten them of that is what you mean.
I hope that helps!

[@stairwaytotevin]

Why is your brown so watery?? Too much turps?

[@theletterhead]

Yeah, definitely. At the time I was using synthetic brushes, which didn't hold paint well, and with the cardstock, it tended to soak more paint and not spread well.
Between the pair I came to the conclusion that funnier was better
