There are no new comers wanting to learn the art of <span style="font-weight: bold;">sign</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">lettering</span>, I guess it is because the younger generation is living in a super fast world of get rich quick!<br /> The vinyl letter has basically stole the scene in the last twenty years or so with lesser demand for<br />the actual sign painter, so computerized sign making took over to some extent. But there was and is a vast number of people who still prefer a colorful, well laid out sign to represent their biz or whatever. However there was some good sign painters that used vinyl and dressed it up, so it wouldn't be just a simple single dimension sign with no character. So the old art of sign painting was still alive at this point, But the drawback to this is very simple, a lot of these experienced painters<br />have retired or expired and in their wake had no one to fill their shoes.<br /> I have talked with quite a few that actually wanted to learn, but they were older and was tied down with working full time jobs to support a family and simply didn't have time that it takes to<br />learn. It takes time to learn any new trade, and this they didn't have. I have worked with some individuals and taught them some<span style="font-weight: bold;"> sign painting basics, </span>but they weren't patient enough for the task and give up, just when they were getting started good.<br /> Well after fifty years of painting myself, I realized before seeing this art form perish, I would like to contribute to the continuance of it. So I put together a training package for basic sign painting for a few bucks to cover some of my expense, with support to help and guide someone<br />wanting to learn. I knew that just reading a book wasn't enough for the new sign painters !<br /> If you think you would like to be a sign artist you can go to my website for lot more info,<br />find about me and consider the options i offer at<span style="font-weight: bold;"> www.signpaintingbasics.net</span><br /><br />Chasy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6775550945971904669-4907079802490882571?l=chasy-signman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chasyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02505671320497241551noreply@blogger.com2
