Flantordoku, a Field Guide to Hand-Painted Signwork

Field notes

Flantordoku organizes its material as a sequence of workshop entries, beginning with liner construction and brush control before moving into enamel behavior, lettering geometry, glass, gilding, shadows, and surface protection. The documentation includes practical checks: a properly loaded brush should return to a point, a rough stroke can indicate thick paint or a dry brush, and enamel should be tested under the same material and working conditions as the finished sign. The project says it is informational rather than commercial.
