Illustrating Bible Devotional - So Refreshing

(5 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

Hey friend! Recently I did a full Illustrating Bible video review. Last week I went on to create a Journaling Bible Paper Thickness video which many of you found really helpful. I then tested 86 pens in the Illustrating Bible and even did an Illustrating Bible art supplies test! Today, it’s what you all love from me so much… a creative devotional with tutorial. Let’s get this Illustrating Bible devotional started! It’s so refreshing! 😉 We’re looking into the book of Philemon, a letter from apostle Paul where some of my favorite passages are tucked away in one of the shortest books of the Bible!

Hey friend! I’ve had SOOO many questions about the Illustrating Bible. The paper is 75% thicker than traditional Journaling Bible paper. It seems natural that I should do an Illustrating Bible supplies test with the favorite supplies we all love and/or want to use for Bible journaling. Last week I did a full Illustrating Bible video review. Earlier this week I went on to create a Journaling Bible Paper Thickness video which many of you found really helpful. Yesterday I tested 86 pens in the Illustrating Bible and today, we’re looking at an Illustrating Bible art supplies test!

Hey friend! I’ve had SOOO many questions about the Illustrating Bible. “Is the paper really thicker?”, “What’s makes it different than other Bibles?”, “Will my pens bleed through?”, the list goes on and on. Last week I did a full Illustrating Bible video review. Earlier this week I went on to create a Journaling Bible Paper Thickness video which many of you found really helpful. I think it should have nicely set the stage for this Illustrating Bible pen test.

Rebekah R Jones Ministry Update No. 2

My grandma told me a beautiful story recently. She’s been a missionary in Mexico for over 60 years. When I was growing up, my grandparents would come back to the States and be with family, tend a beautiful garden and rest, before going back and serving. The ministry has been responsible for helping 3 generations of people find Jesus, who were previously unreached in the Cora mountain villages. I have always loved hearing the incredible stories of people learning about Jesus and then growing up to help spread His truth. I feel grateful for such a heritage in my family that continues to this day.

Anyway, my grandma told me a story about how she had enjoyed these beautiful flowers and wanted to plant some to be enjoyed at the ministry base in Mexico. She took some seeds with her and planted them. When the heat came, the plants couldn’t stand the temperatures and within a short time they had all died. Just like her determined missionary self, she decided to investigate if there was another way these plants might be able to withstand the heat. She found a way and went to work planting all of the seeds in a cooler climate. Then, when the plants were more mature, she took cuttings from them and brought them with her to Mexico to plant. Those cuttings then grew up to become plants that are hearty, able to withstand heat and bloom almost year round!

Now, there are a ton of life messages this true story could be applied to. For me, it speaks to [click to continue…]

(3 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

Hello Everyone! Welcome to lesson 5 of the Prophetic Art Challenge, Vol. 1! In this devotional art journaling lesson, I share vulnerably as we learn about Elegant Writer pen art, watercolor and pearlescent watercolor!

Elegant Writer Pen Art Journaling

I’ve taught before about Elegant Writer pen art, with a Bible Art Journaling Challenge. The Elegant Writer Calligraphy Pen is something my mom and grandma both had around when I was growing up. I had no idea until recent years, that it holds a little secret. You don’t have to just use it for calligraphy. You can create Elegant Writer pen art! But don’t just sketch with it.

Once you add liquid to your sketched lines, they spring to life, revealing the [click to continue…]

Understanding Watercolor Transparency - Prophetic Art Challenge Vol. 1, Lesson 4

(5 votes, average: 4.80 out of 5)

Hello Everyone! Welcome to lesson 4 of the Prophetic Art Challenge, Vol. 1! In this lesson I’ll be helping you understand watercolor transparency, as we look at the theme of hope. Watercolor transparency is something I get a LOT of questions about in the Bible journaling community.

Let’s understand watercolor transparency

In this lesson, you’ll learn a few things, but I want to highlight watercolor transparency. People often ask me if watercolor is transparent, or if it will cover the layers under it, (such as Bible text).

The reality is, watercolor is transparent. However, if used incorrectly, it can be applied in a more “opaque” fashion, which is not transparent. There is also watercolor designed for things like Japanese art, which is made on the opaque side. Regardless what type of watercolor though, all will be transparent if you water down the pigment.

By swiping a wet brush against the color of choice, you’ll get [click to continue…]
