- A vid showing the way I handle a brush. I'm not fussing over ever letter, but showing the student sign painter the approach to making the letters. The letters are patterned after John Downer's exemplars.

its like watching darth vadar paint..
Lots of good technique to learn from here. Thanks for posting.
It doesn't seem like you're corresponding very much with your viewers, but here goes nothing: I'd really love to know the materials that are most commonly used.
(Please, anyone who might know please share!)
Type of brush? Paint? Type of oil to oil the brush? Board? Is it MDX? Masonite? Is the surface chalkboard paint? Is it primed to avoid rewetting the black paint? Do you use white colored pencil to draw the rules lines? Doesn't erasing them leave oily residue, or can you clean the board with a wet cloth after the paint dries?
Usually 1 shot paint. 1 stroke brush. Turpentine. But anything works if have mastered letters!
Sharp as a chisel ! 😘👌
I notice that you aren't actually twisting the brush...as in, rolling it in your fingers..as you go around a turn. It looks like you are doing this like I've seen script lettering done. Looks like you are holding the brush at one angle and as you head into a turn, you add a little Pressure. Am I correct?
A whisky stick!
We use them in other applications...
They take the shake out.
Wow... great!!!
Clean work
Clean work!
:) Very nice! Thanks
Great work 👍🏼
OK Bob cop clown here wants to know why you leave out the H? and also where is the T? and why the double G?...
Is it perhaps that the H and T are simply too hot just for simpletons? and maybe the G is just so all round cool so double up on it?
+mijnflatisfoetsie ... they were just at the end of the board and I didn't know if my camera was getting that far to the left...
Two styles of G 😏😬
Why is there 2 G
Love to know what brand of paint you're using??
1shot Poster paint, not enamel. Wrights of Lymn UK
Very nice ! Thank you for sharing this.
I was wondering, what the font/alphabet used for this exercise ?
Glendizer GO ! He is rotating the brush. Watch him do O and Q.
He's not rotating for the curves on P, or R, or B, because the taper of line width is more easily dealt with.
It looks like when he doesn't rotate, and enters a curve at the same angle; the tapering is negligible, and is easily fixed with a secondary stroke... I love how using a brush doesn't require the same rotation as calligraphy nibs do. I watched a video where a guy puts a pilot parallel pen onto paper and rotates the paper until a perfect O is written...
Peter, thank you for your insight but my original question was about the typo/font he is using in this video, not the "technique" aspect of it. I've already seen this alphabet quiet a lot but I can't identify/find the name of it
Glendizer GO ! A lot of old school sign writers had their versions of block lettering ( pre font days) it developed from years of painting. They also had a script and a Roman. You see this all the time when old signs are revealed. Around my area in the uk you can still old work occasionally and I know who did them from the lettering . If you want to know more search out a copy of Bill Stewart's book , I think it's called sign work . It's basically the city and guilds course I took in the mid 80s , can fetch good money now though,,,!
Where is H, I, J, and T?
they are all straight strokes demonstrated in the other letters.
