Hand- and Brushlettering
Happy Mother's Day
Step 1: The STABILO Pen 68 brush is perfect for lettering. Prepare one in a lighter and one in a darker shade of pink. Begin by writing the words "happy mother's day" on a square sheet of watercolor paper. Try to keep it centered, using the lighter color for the first and third words.
Step 2: Add a slight shadow to the word "mother's" in the middle using the lighter pink.
Step 3: Now, draw the outline of a large heart around the text, alternating between the two shades of pink.
Step 4: Using a wet brush, beautifully blend the colors. Extend the edge of the heart outward with this technique. With enough water, the colors will almost blend themselves.
Step 5: On the inside, you can now repeat the heart shape with the dark red shade as a contour. This will make everything stand out even more.
Step 7: A few small hearts scattered diagonally will add the finishing touch to your lettering.
