Happy Friday! I just wanted to post a quick notice of a Watercolor Branding Skillshare session I’ll be hosting for the next two weeks starting this coming Monday, July 27th and ending August 7th. Sessions are new to Skillshare, so I’m very excited to be a part of some of the first ones! If you love learning new things, but need a little more structure with completing a project associated with what you learned, sessions were made for you.
I’ve laid out a full schedule and I’ll be sending emails every few days so we all stay on task to complete the project of creating your own watercolor logo. These emails will ask you to complete videos from the Watercolor Branding class and then post a small task to your project. I’ll be available for questions, feedback – whatever you need to ensure you come out with a great logo and some skills you can use well into the future. You’ll also be with other students who will offer their feedback and will be posting their own projects. Since this session is paired with the Watercolor Branding class, it means every student in the session will receive a free mini watercolor kit, a resource pdf with every asset mentioned in the class, as well as a logo inspiration cheat sheet to keep the ideas coming. This session is a great way for all of us to collaborate together and have some fun with watercolors 🙂
If you’re interested, check out the overview of the full session here, and don’t forget, it’s starting this coming Monday, July 27th! If you’ve ever been on the fence about Skillshare, now is the best time to give it a shot! For the next week only, if you sign up or upgrade your current Skillshare membership, you’ll get 3 full months of premium membership for just $0.99! I’ve never seen them have a deal like this before, so definitely nab it if you’ve ever wanted to give Skillshare a try! You can use this link to sign up. I’ve personally signed on for a year and I’ve been trying out a new class almost every week. It’s awesome to see so many professionals sharing their trade secrets and skills 🙂
Happy weekend! Hope to see you Monday in the session!

I have a question regarding license. I make hand-painted wood signs as an adoption fundraiser for our family. Am I able to trace/paint your freebie graphics onto the boards that I am selling?
Thanks

Hey Carmen!
As long as you don’t distribute the raw (ai, eps, psd) files and the designs don’t make up the core of your product, you’re good to go!

Hi Teela,
I am stumped. I am using CS6. I can’t get the effect you have after you’ve created outlines, then you go to offset path. I get no discernible change when I put a negative value in. In fact, it looks like no changes at all. Did I miss a step? You mention in the video that you make a copy…but since you didn’t make a copy, I assumed when you put the offset path it made its own copy. Where did I mess up?
Thanks!

Hey Marie! You’re right – got a little ahead of myself, the offset path does create its own copy. Do you have the preview box checked when you input your offset options? If you have a larger letter than mine (my finished one ended up around 365pts), your offset path will have to be larger to get a noticeable difference – if you have your preview box checked, try larger offset numbers, ticking the preview box on and off to see which number will work better for your size 🙂
