An exciting opportunity to learn a beautiful craft
Hello and thanks for taking the time to check out this exciting opportunity!
While there are plenty of weekend workshops out there, and lots of books you can buy, it is incredibly hard to translate flat pictures and words into real-life brush strokes.
By subscribing to this 12 month course, you’ll slowly but surely build your skills, increase your knowledge and watch your confidence grow. We’ll start your journey with the absolute basics, working at a manageable pace to help you master this beautiful fine art.
The easiest way to learn a skill is by watching a time served professional at work. Now, imagine if they were also talking you through every single detail of what they were doing, sharing the little tips, tricks and secrets they’ve learned from over 30 years in the trade... Now that is a winning formula!
What You Will Learn
We cover everything you need to get started…
- The correct equipment you will need & how to look after it
- How to get the paint working for you
- Basic brush skills and how to hold a brush properly
- How to use a Mahl Stick and a palette
- Business tips and actual ways you can start taking on paid work
- And plenty more!
The Core Lettering Styles
The main aim of this course is to help you master the four main lettering styles:
Once you have mastered these, we will move on to shading and a few basic tips and tricks. This will all be presented as modules in real-time video which you can dip into as many times as you need.
I will be releasing the modules weekly. It is important to learn in a methodical manner and not try to run before you are able to walk.
- Casual
- Block
- Script
- Roman
Once we’ve worked through these modules you will be getting to grips with a brush and hopefully it will become your friend, not enemy!
How The Course Works
Real Time Video Modules
The whole course is based on realtime video tuition. You get a front row seat so you can see up close what is happening at the business end of things. . . The brush!
You can go over and over these demos throughout the year as often as you like. This gives you every chance possible to fit the course in with your busy life.

The only way to learn this Craft is repetition and lot’s of practice. There are no shortcuts I’m afraid. So by having the demos on hand to watch whenever you want, you will be giving yourself the best chance possible to succeed!
You can dip into the videos as many times as you need. Perfect for fitting around busy family and work lives.
What’s Included in Your Subscription?
Get access to plenty of practice sheets to print off at home. All you need is a basic home printer!
Throughout the course I will be setting you projects to complete. This is an important part of the process as it starts to build a portfolio. It’s nearly impossible to sell your new found skills if you don’t have any examples of work to show a prospective client.
- You’ll have direct contact with me for individual support. Send over photos of your work and I’ll give you feedback, tips and friendly guidance.
- Access to our private peer to peer platform where you can connect, share tips and keep those creative juices flowing with like minded people.
- In more than 30 years of painting signs I’ve made nearly all the mistakes, so by me passing on my experience, skills and comprehensive knowledge, you can fast track to success!

“I’m not new to using a brush or letter writing, but I’ve been winging it for some time now as a fan of the craft at amateur level at best. Now, because of correct practice techniques, focus and brush drills through your direction, my ability has transformed remarkably. My feel for the paint is more dialled in now and my confidence has grown too.”
“The course has been great. I’ve been looking for a creative outlet that might also become a bit of a ‘side-hustle’ for me. The structure of the course and the content has helped me know where to start, and the recommendations on equipment gave me the confidence to jump in and start making things. Being able to re-watch the videos is crucial — I’ve got small kids and limited time. I think it’s been great value.”
“Paul, thank you so much for offering this course, it has inspired me so much. It has given me so much more confidence and following your instructions has really helped. The videos are awesome and I love being able to watch anytime I want. The projects are awesome, especially for the beginners.”
