Superspeed readers like me can read 150 - 200+ pages/hour, so yes, I have read the book … and many more today. LOL			
			
I received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley, the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review.  			
			
From the publisher, as I do not repeat the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it as they do it better than I do 😸.			

Learn to letter beautifully with watercolour. 

In this stunning follow-up to her highly praised and influential first book, The Art of Brush Lettering, lettering expert and workshop instructor Kelly Klapstein (popular on Instagram as @kellycreates) shares her secrets for mastering the essential techniques for creating lovely modern lettering and calligraphy with watercolour. Start with the basics, from choosing paints, brushes, and other supplies to preparing your paper for painting. Learn to handle watercolour paints with essential strokes and warm-ups. Explore painting letterforms in a variety of styles, from traditional to modern. Try a range of creative techniques, including blending ombrés and rainbows, creating pictorial letterforms, and combining watercolour with other mediums. Enhance your lettering with special touches by complementing it with handpainted backgrounds and simple illustrations. 

With The Art of Watercolor Lettering, you’ll learn how to master the medium—and how to go with the watercolour flow—to create one-of-a-kind lettered art and calligraphy that reflects your unique personal style.

I have only ever painted with acrylics or oils but if I ever want to do watercolour, this book will help me with the alphabet and BEYOND into all sorts of other scenery, people, etc. The way to use the paints is well explained and the instructions clear and concise. This book would be perfect for any newbie to watercolours or a seasoned artist to work on cursive and lettering on its own.
			
As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I love emojis (outside of their incessant use by "Social Influencer Millennials" on Instagram and Twitter) so let's give it 🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨

A beautiful book to look at, this is a very clearly illustrated and laid out introduction to the art of watercolour lettering.  

The author shows you a variety of ways to use watercolours - with a brush, in a pen, in the form of watercolour pencils and more.  She also illustrates a variety of ways to use them - layering colours, different types of letters, using painter's tape and so on.

I have used brush pens before and after a first look through this book, I am inspired to try a few new ideas with them!
