The Thick and the Thin of it all..
Here is the first of my little video series showing Bold and Light weights of Brushed Script.
The Lower-Case is 3.5” tall.
This style is inspired by the magnificent script of the late and great Mike Stevens.
The different weights of stroke are achieved simply by using different sized brushes whilst executing exactly the same strokes and techniques for each letter.
The aim is to produce each letter with the minimum amount of brushstrokes.
The paint I am using is 1 Shot Sign Painters enamel thinned down a little with 1 Shot High Temp Reducer.
Im using a Medium length hair Size 8 Kolinsky Sable for the bold, and a Long haired Size 6 for the lighter weight.
The long hair of the 6 allows the brush to hold more paint therefore being able to produce a longer stroke in relation to the thickness of the brush making it a good choice for long flowing strokes.
The shorter hair on the 8 accommodates a shorter thicker stroke with a snappier response when transitioning from thick to thin.
Video at actual speed with some dead space edited out between brush changes and reloads.
Who wants to see the whole alphabet?
