Hand lettering step by step Techniques and projects to express yourself creatively

Kathy Glynn

Book - 2018

"Lettering is a timeless art form that is more popular than ever. It encourages you to slow down, be still, and connect with your creativity. In Hand Lettering, artist Kathy Glynn shows how to create lettering that is expressive, beautiful, and unique. After explaining the basics of the modern calligraphy, brush lettering, faux calligraphy, and other hand-lettering styles, Kathy demonstrates how to create your own style, add embellishments, and even digitize lettering for a variety of uses. Twenty-two inventive projects explore creative ways to incorporate lettering into art and craft designs, including watercolor, embossing, gold foil, paper cutting, metal etching, and lettering on wood and stone."--Page [4] of cover.

Review by Library Journal Review

Calligrapher and mixed-media artist Glynn's book covers modern calligraphy, brush lettering, and drawn letters. Each chapter contains step-by-step projects with lots of practical applications, including designs for love letters, monogrammed jewelry, business cards, fabric patterns, all sorts of signs, gift wrap, rubber stamps, and temporary tattoos. Detailed, close-up photographs of various pen types, nibs from all angles, a great variety of inks, paints, and other supplies are featured throughout. A handy section at the end of the guide demonstrates how to digitize hand lettering in Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. VERDICT This work will appeal to many audiences and is accessible to all, even those with little or no drawing and painting experience. © Copyright 2018.
