Watercolor and Lettering for a Painting.
This is typical of my personal artwork - I love lettering, from old typefaces to hand-written scrawl. I often use Latin or Greek, which I can read a little of, so that the meaning is somewhat obscured, but hinted at. I've used Hebrew on occasion, but its a bit risky as I don't know the language, so a misplaced mark might result in garbage, or worse! This is a little bit I did towards a bigger painting - just experimenting with the script and watercolor. I'm getting quite good at drawing serifed typefaces by hand, I draw them so often.
