I wanted to try doing some hand lettering and water coloring and I thought the easiest way to do it would be to use my Molotow masking pen.
I started by finding a quote I really liked from Aesop, and hand lettered it in pencil on a piece of Bristol paper.
Beginning and some guide lines.
Completed quote
Then I covered all of the lettering with the Molotow masking pen.
All masked and ready to go.
What I should have done here is erased my guidelines, but I didn't so they're slightly visible in the finished work, but if you are making this, now is a good time to erase them being careful not to disturb the masking fluid.
Then I added my watercolor background and dried it with my heat tool.
Before the reveal...
Finally I removed the mask with an adhesive eraser (they're very handy and won't cause your paper to pill).
Finished product!
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results! The next time I do this though, I will erase my guidelines earlier and I will use a lighter sketch pencil when I do my hand lettering. Hope you enjoyed this, Happy Crafting!
