How to do calligraphy on a wood sign, DIY wood sign, hand painted sign, fauxligraphy, white paint

Описание: Easily one of the most discussed projects among fellow letterers and calligraphers. How do you make your wood signs?! What pen is that?! I share a few of my tips in the video. After 5 years of trial and error and experimenting, this is my go to method for creating calligraphy on wood signs.
1. Sand the wood, well.
2. Paint or Stain the wood. I use regular craft acrylic from the hobby store and Minwax brand stains.
3. Draft your piece with a pencil and/or chalk.
4. Letter using brush calligraphy with a paint brush (on rough surfaces like pallet wood), or a paint pen like shown in the video (my go to for crisp consistent lines).
5. Buff and clean off pencil/chalk marks.
6. I do not seal my wood signs. I did originally and found it unnecessary and caused coloring on the signs.

You don’t need a fancy machine to make a beautiful sign. If you are not comfortable doing freehand calligraphy and lettering, you could easily print out your word/saying and use a carbon transfer sheet to outline the design.
