you want to letter with confidence

even if you've never picked up a brush pen before

If you love the look of brush lettering but haven’t had 

the time (or known how) to start,


this course is for you.

If you’re craving custom lettered home decor & gifts without dropping a pretty penny,


this course is for you.

If you just want to relax through art & learn or improve your creative skills in lettering,

hey- this is for you too.
Imagine This...

You fill your home with art you love- that you've created- that didn't cost you a fortune.

That quote you've always kept close to your heart? How rad does it look on your walls now- in your exact style. It's totally you. 

You don't need to search the boutiques for the perfect $8 card for your BFF- you can make one from your kitchen table that's just as cute.

And wrapping her gift? Hand letter on that kraft gift bag, friend. It'll save you money and you know she'll like it more anyways.

Stressed? Aren't we all, but you pull up a chair and a coffee and letter your feelings out on the page. With swashes and block letters and the tension disappears (and so does the coffee).

Did I mention how fun doodling during conference calls is now?

When I started hand lettering... I wouldn't have dreamed this would be my reality- I'm naturally TERRIBLE at writing. You could ask my school teachers- I was requested to type my papers while other students were allowed to submit written papers. 

I fumbled through YouTube videos and blog posts and Instagram post after Instagram post to try and 'figure it out' myself. Most resources I found skipped over the very very basics or missed simple tips that could have saved me time and headache.
If you're feeling like that reality up there is pretty far from your current truth, I'd love to help you learn brush lettering & break through those creative barriers & negative self talk.

I know you've got what it takes.

You do too... isn't that why you're here?

YOU DON'T NEED ANY FANCY-PANTS SKILLS OR 

PRETTY HAND WRITING TO JOIN IN.


And you don’t need to search for tutorials or supplies & second guess you’ve got the right tools to letter. 


We’re starting from the ground up.

“COLLEEN! This is 100 times better than any other resources I’ve seen out there… It’s amazing! 


I love the practice strokes you show. I’ve never seen #6 shown, and that shape has totally messed me up in the past. I also really like the other nine basic strokes. 


I’ve never seen it broken down like that before – and those are exactly the kinds of stokes that totally messed me up when I try to practice letters, because I’ve only been shown how to practice the first two of the practice strokes. I love how you show all of the letters, and give instructions for how to use this to trace over it and continue practicing.”

Can’t keep up with all the other demands in your life (this mom of 4 gets it!), you'll have access as long as this course is on the internet so you can pick up when you get those moments.


You can search around my blog and other sites for projects and pieces of the puzzle. You can teach yourself how to brush letter with YouTube video after YouTube video and hope that you’ve started with the right foundations. That’s what I did… I know it’s possible. But it’s a lot of work.


OR


You can let me walk you through it- from how to hold the pen to what the best pens to start are… to the strokes that make up the letter and how to connect your letters. One foot in front of the other. No guesswork.

Let's get you lettering like you know you can... 
on everything you can get your hands on.

Here's what others have to say

"I’ve tried teaching myself brush lettering by looking at examples, but having a proper guide made it way easier. The 6 different styles were great as it allowed me to try everything out but I could then decide what felt most natural.  


I didn’t realize how unsteady my hand was until I actually sat down and tried to do it properly, but the warm ups (swishes and loops oh my) really helped get my hand used to the movements, especially the 9 basic strokes - something I couldn’t have learned by just looking at examples."

“I have taken calligraphy workshops using nibs and ink, and although it was fun to try something new, it was a little intimidating! Learning brush lettering with Colleen was so more my speed. Her tips on lettering made me feel in control so I could have fun with it while I was learning!”
Dawn

“I have admired Colleen’s hand lettering for ages – girl has got some serious talent! I was super excited that she’s finally teaching the rest of us her secrets. 

Colleen is a wonderful teacher. Everything is laid out so well and you don’t need any super fancy materials to get started. This is such a fun hobby – I can’t wait to keep practicing and refining my skills! Thanks Colleen!”

“Colleen’s style of teaching really resonates, and the level of thought and detail she puts in is evident from start to finish… Colleen’s work will help you create beautiful brush lettering!”

I’m a mom to 4 wild ones & the face behind Learn Brush Lettering. I love a DIY, making my home my favourite place to be & most importantly for you? I love to hand letter.

I’ve shared my hand lettering tips & DIYs on lemonthistle.com for almost 8 years & more recently on handletteredprintables.com. 

I quickly realized that readers needed more than just tips & project tutorials. 

They needed someone to walk them through picking up a pen to adding their personality to hand lettering. 

I’m so excited to share this passion for creativity with you in the Learn Hand Lettering course.

It’s my goal that you’ll not only learn to brush letter (of course!), but that this work together will spark the creativity & confidence you’ve always had inside you.
