Are you ready for the July daily lettering practice challenge?
This month we’re lettering uncommon color names!
I’ve scoured the internet for 31 less-than-typical color names from A through Z. Y was a tough one, because mostly the colors that begin with Y are yellows. Yawn.

Rules to play along:
There really aren’t hard and fast rules, just a theme to promote daily practice.
I’m still debating on whether I’ll use colored pencils or a waterbrush.
Some of my favorite coloring media:
I’m so happy to see there’s still someone that still does hand writing. I taught lettering (with a brush) and calligraphy at a community college for many years. It’s distressing to hear that script is not being taught in schools anymore. Thank you for perpetuating good lettering.
Thank you for your encouragement! I’m so humbled to be a small part in preserving the love for handwriting. I see our personal penmanship as a beautiful part of our individual legacies. I share your distress at how cavalier schools are abandoning classic penmanship practice. I was greatly pleased to hear that the elementary school two of my children attend is still teaching cursive. I would gladly volunteer at the school if it meant keeping cursive alive.
