Brush Lettering and Watercolour

Brush lettering—hand lettering with brush pens—and creating designs with watercolor paints guarantees you plenty of colorful creative fun! The combination of beautiful lettering with a colorful gloss and the delicacy of watercolors opens up a range of new design possibilities. Katja Haas presents various types of lettering and concentrates in particular on the special features of writing and decorating with brush pens. Ideas for feather-light blossoms, tendrils, and decorative elements, along with suggestions for special occasions, make this the perfect companion to lettering.

Since 2009, Katja Haas has been running her own design agency, where she creates high quality stationery for all occasions under her own label, Papier-Liebe, using her own letterpress printing technique. Always on the lookout for new trends for her stationery lines, Katja, who comes originally from the region of Styria in Austria, discovered hand lettering. As a self-taught artist, she is passionate about the creative variety offered by this technique. In her practically-oriented books, Katja Haas presents hand lettering as an art form suitable for everyone, which places no limits on personal creativity in terms of “right or wrong."
