Abstract Art Inspired Lettering Tutorial
Abstract Art Inspired Lettering TutorialWhat’s the first artist you can remember loving as a child? My obsession with all things Lisa Frank is the first one I can recall. Her bold use of colors and playful designs are back, and I’m thrilled to share her work with my own daughters.
I’m still drawn to art that is colorful, fun, and not too fussy. I like art to look artsy. Somewhere between Impressionism (such as Monet) and Abstract. Give me the sketchy and loose and imperfect. In my mind, if it’s too perfect, why not just use a photograph instead of a painting?
And so this month’s lettering tutorial was inspired by a more abstract style of creating! It reminds me of the style I often used when I used to do art journaling, only digitally.
I hope you have as much fun with this style as I do.
