4.3(21)3k students
Amarilys Henderson bridges clean typefaces with the dynamic energy of watercolor. In this 14-minute class, she teaches you to use existing fonts as templates, then hand-paint letters that function as a full alphabet.
No prior painting experience required, but basic Photoshop and Illustrator knowledge helps. The result is an on-trend, personally crafted typeface—something you can use immediately in design work.
Combining watercolor's organic quality with typographic precision creates visual interest that feels contemporary and intentional. Your painted alphabet becomes a branding asset.
Play between the tension of clean typefaces and the dynamic punch that watercolor offers. Learn how to paint a font in watercolor and prepare it for digital use.
In this 14 minute class, you’ll learn from Amarilys Henderson, an illustrator with design experience whose first love is watercolor. You'll be guided through how to use existing fonts as a template to create a hand-painted alphabet that can be used as a watercolor font.
This class is perfect for designers who want to give their work a fresh look or hobbyists that have been intimidated by watercolor paints. No prior painting experience is required, but some basic Photoshop and Illustrator knowledge would be useful to maximize your new alphabet. You’ll walk away with an on-trend typeface that’s all your own.
