Watercolor hand lettering
Using watercolors is so addicting – seriously. I guess there could be worse addictions.
The way the ink flows on the paper, the shine and shimmer, the way the colors can be blended, I could go on and on….
First, for paper, make sure you use watercolor paper – 140 lb. cold pressed paper. You can buy it on sale at Michael’s or Amazon.

The paper is so heavy so that when the water goes on, it doesn’t melt the paper.
I buy bigger sheets and then cut them to smaller pieces.
The LOVE below was done with Ecoline watercolors and then outlined with Brea Reese glitter inks.
The MAGIC was done with all glitter inks.

How can you not paint rainbows and ombre colors? 🙂
