Professional artist Paul Hopkinson shares different ways that he signs his watercolor paintings and the reasons why.
All artists have their preferred way of signing their work. I have my favourite ways, but I do vary my signature depending on the type of painting I have completed. So for some paintings I will use a traditional pencil method, for others I may use a gel pen. I tend to look at where I want to add my signature, what I am writing on and also what colour it is. In this video I explain the pros and cons of these methods and also other things that you may use the equipment for.
For more useful tips and techniques for your watercolor paintings can I suggest watching this video next: https://bit.ly/3byRxjy which is all about do's and don'ts when you are painting realistic eyes in watercolor.
