How to bang out free style bash, for beginners of the brush

Thought I would do a couple of demonstration videos for those starting out in signwriting. What prompted me was the amount of questions being asked by members of Pinstripers Garage  https://www.facebook.com/groups/112044882202139/ .

Iam an active member of this 4000+ community which is dedicated to pinstriping and lettering using the traditional methods, the member base ranges from world renowned gurus through to beginners just starting out.

If you've been pushing the brush since day dot or just beginning, click on the above Facebook link  and join up, real cool folk, real cool brush work.

In the below videos iam showing how to form letters by single stroke using a  haydn 200 series brush and One Shot enamel. A common beginners error iam seeing on Pinstripers Garage is not having the correct brush, unless your using a Haydn or the likes, forget about lettering until you get these brushes, I cant stress that enough, they have a chisel / flat tip that holds a consistent width stroke which is the key to attractive lettering, along with consistent stroke angle. 

Practice practice practice until your fingers are bleeding, focus on pulling consistent strokes, how to start and end a stroke along with twisting and reducing pressure, keeping your brush loaded with paint, all these factors put together equal "consistency".

Once you've mastered these basic fundamentals, your now on your way to understanding brush control and "consistency".

And remember Kids, have patience, this will not happen over night. To give you an idea and appreciation for the Craft, in 1985 at age 16 I started my 5 year Signwriting apprenticeship with Design Craft Graphics in New Zealand, at the end of my time I had a good understanding of the trade, developed a personal brush style and was well on my way, yet I had only just started becoming at one with the brush and attractive layout, it takes years to master the art.

Feel free to ask questions if you have any, I will upload some more techniques when time allows.

Hope these clips are of some help, ENJOY!
