Hi. Beautiful work. I'm an arbrush artist but I'm interested in getting into chalkboard art here in England. Please tell me, the main text on the menu, is that a particular style (ie calligraphy) or is it just your own handwriting? It's very stylish.

[huppy61]

Yes, my fonts & handwriting. Glad you like it. I send my menus all over the world. Its great.

Hi Huppy,

Fantasic work well done. Good to see a fellow artist & their work. If you see my videos you'll see I do similar stuff. You seem to put a lot of work into your pieces with great results. I tend to spend less time so I can charge less and come back & repeat boards after a few weeks. I only use a Mahl stick if I am using a brush like next week. Oddly enough this is a return visit after only 6 months. They changed the name of the restaurant!

All the best

Thanks John. I do a lot of cheaper work as well, however I try & market the good stuff because I enjoy it so much more. I generally have a 3 tier price list...budget, good, & money is no object. I enjyed a couple of videos & when I get time, Ill check the others out. Cheers from Oz.

I'm trying to do this myself to get a few jobs locally here in the US. I've tried oil pastels but the reds and oranges are not very bright. The chalks look great until I apply fixative. Any suggestions ?

[huppy61]

mmm..try different pastels. I always put a piant backgound down first, however this may be difficult without lettering & brush skills & knowlege.

What sort of pens/paints are you using, please? What sort of money do you charge for these boards? Thanks.

[huppy61]

you have to keep trying different combinations until it works. My combinations are intelectual knowledge so would get shot if I divulged them.
