Lettering a traditional auto shop sign - SCRIPT & SHADOW - The art of SIGN PAINTING (Signwriting)

This is my latest video, Involving the traditional art of sign painting (Signwriting), in this video I paint a sign I designed for a fictional auto shop called "Bills Auto Shop". Lettering is painted in a sign painters script with a drop shadow.

Sign painting is an craft that has been practiced for hundreds of years, and maybe longer.
Sadly few artists still complete works like this by hand.

Change is hard! As soon as I learn to use the brush? Vinyl sign came in! But I still have fun lettering truck n cars!

Superb job, I was a sign writer ages ago before the dreaded vinyl lettering become a thing and ended the hand written sign business for a while so it's brilliant to see you bringing back the art, well done.

Love how the dropshadow creates the yellow outline on the letters. Great work!

This is great. Awesome looking letter form.

Super Dooper sign mate, thanks for the lesson.

Wish you posted a video of your sketched letters before you started painting! Super clean!

[D-me-dream-smp]

I’m impressed how even you keep the letters and the spacing between the letters and drop shadow. You must have a steady hand, a good eye and no doubt plenty of practice! I struggle just doing hand lettering in a book using guides. I love the vintage style colouring. Thanks for sharing.

Cool to see someone else keeping the art of sign painting alive. Cool stuff. Definitely going to share this (new?) site with all of my art peers... They're gonna love it...
Keep it up!

Great job I fix cars and if you made me that I’d love it. Hope you find Bill and get it to him I bet he’d love that!!! Nice consistency and spacing shadowing etc!!

You are sooo underrated, you deserve more subs.

[charliekingpine]

Hi that is good and you told us what brush and paint, that soming people usually miss out so thanks for that 😊

[timothyhill]

you need to mix with a medium ive forgotten what it is zinc comes to mind it also adds brightness. might help dry it seems weird though.

[charliekingpin]

I aways like to know what brush and paint being used s many thanks for that. :)

[JovitoBrequillo]

Your paint flows very nice . Do you put Turpentine oil on it?

[joshtonry]

How do you like the Ronan paint? Do you thin it? I've never used it but have used 1shot for awhile. Wasn't sure if you used mineral spirits? Is Ronan just for sign painting or do people stripe with it?

[snewcomer]

Beautiful! Can you do a video on you outline sketching please!

[acrnym]

Hey mate, loving these videos.. Cannot stop watching!

I'm wondering what material you're painting onto here? Is it paper or something specific?

[DanielWDecker-ebsw]

Your work is very creative and inspiring, I've been lettering for a few years now but it sure takes practice, that's for sure! Any advice for a lefthander? Mahl stick does seem to help though. Thanks for sharing!

How did you learn more traditional styles of lettering and cursive? I've noticed majority of the styles today are more modernized, and it's difficult finding books or resources on traditional lettering
