Read more Learn step-by-step how to create beautiful letters just like these! Step 1 Once youre happy with the layout, youre ready to paint. First, plan your palette.

Step 2 Before painting the letters, test your palette on a separate sheet of watercolor paper to make sure its cohesive. Mix the colors to your liking. Make sure you have enough paint to complete your alphabet. Step 3 To produce gradients, pick your first color and dip your brush into the water. Add the next color at the end of the first while it is still wet. Remember that the color travels only where the water is. Let the second color blend and diffuse toward the first color effortlessly.
