    Watercolor Background for Lettering

    Watercolor backgrounds add depth and character to your lettering projects. Personally, I have a thing for black ink on white paper, and the majority of the time that satisfies my lettering craving. But when I add a little bit of color, the feel of the project changes completely, and I fall in love with the result all over again. Today, I’ll show you how I like to use the wet on wet watercolor technique to create a watercolor background for your lettering.
