Commercial signs in Washington, DC: hand-painted lettering at Halfsmoke
Here is another beautiful example of our hand-painted lettering at Halfsmoke. We painted these simple murals at a popular new eatery in Adams Morgan.
Tiny lettering goes a long way.
Halfsmoke is a new eatery in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC. We lettered the facade on the front and sides of the building. The letters were about two feet tall. We finished all of the mural lettering in one day. Hand-painted signage and gold leaf are making a comeback in Washington, DC, and we enjoy being a part of it.
Hand-painted lettering
First, we use a pounce pattern to transfer the design to the wall. The pattern lets us see the design on the wall as we paint. Next, we paint the Halfsmoke lettering on the storefront and the “H” on the street corner, using Sherwin-Williams paint. Then we add black lettering and gold leaf for the company’s name signage. After that, we add any shading the lettering needs. Finally, we let the paint dry, and the sign is done.
