    Whilst I’m all new to this, you have to be one of the best I’ve seen. Went on a different path at school but did basic signwriting then and now looking to try it out as a hobby this winter at 65! Just love seeing your work, these videos don’t go unnoticed. Enquired about a course but understand you’ve stopped them now. Keep up the great work Joby, really appreciate it.

      Hi @macmerc1556 firstly thank you so much for your kind comments, it's great to know that you are enjoying my channel. I just wanted to let you know that we haven't stopped courses, I am not sure where you got this information?! Currently I am fully booked on my October 2024 and November 2024 courses. I am looking to be holding more courses in 2025 but I am just working on dates and locations for this as I am relocating my business. To be the first to hear about these upcoming courses if they are of interest to you can sign up to receive them via my website, jobycarter.com/sign-up/ Thanks again for your comment 👍

    Hi Joby! What kind of paint do I use to paint the background? I used one shot but then barely had any paint left! I’m figuring you save the expensive paint just for the lettering? So what kind of paint do you use for the board? Spray paint?

      Hiya, I use Craftmaster Paints mainly. They do a range of Signwriting Paint and Coachpaint. However if using one of my pre-prepared boards that are available from my website in various colours, I just paint right on to either the shiny or matt side depending on what I am painting. Hope that helps 🙂

      Thanks for watching. This was intended as a short video in answer to someone's question about specific artwork I had created so you're right that it doesn't go into lots of technique. I am planning on a more in depth video all about shadows as I know people can struggle. Was there anything in particular you'd like me to cover or include?

    • @Englishman999
      @Englishman999 Місяць тому

      @@Joby.Carter Thanks for the reply. Odd that you didn't mention that in the title nor in the video itself... I'm an accomplished signwriter and airbrush artist so, without trying to sound like I know it all, I don't, there's nothing I really need regards shadows. I usually try to adjust the spacing to ensure shadows don't run into adjacent letters, that and ensuring the shadow depth is not so great as to butt up to neighbouring letters helps in most cases. A basic understanding of perspective and vanishing points is key and easily learned. Lots of practice... I'll look forward to your more in depth video

      @Joby.Carter 5 місяців тому

      You can either chalk or charcoal the back of your paper and draw your design through and it will transfer or you can pounce your design on with a pounce pad and pounce powder, you will need to make a series of holes into your design to pounce it. 👍

      Hi Joby. I hope you don’t mind me asking more questions. What would the next layer be on top of the aluminium primer? The main background colour is going to be ivory so I imagine I’ll need undercoat to cover the grey aluminium primer, is that correct? Then would I use a domestic exterior gloss for the ivory background or would I use the sign writing enamel? I would like this project to last as long as possible of course! Thanks in advance ❤
