(4 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

(6 votes, average: 4.83 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.

Art Journal Tutorial: I Am Treasured by Rebekah R Jones

Hello everyone! I’ve got an art journal tutorial for you today! I’ve long been asked how to creatively process time in the Word, outside of the Bible. You know… Bible journaling, but not inside the Bible. 🙂 Not everyone is comfortable creating inside of a Bible and I often get requests for these types of tutorials. It’s honestly something I’ve been doing far longer than Bible journaling and I’m excited to share a tutorial with you today!

The sweet folks at His Kingdom Come have asked me to join their Take Me Deeper series, as a featured artist. They’re taking the year focusing in on things God says about us. Each featured artist is taking a different statement of who “I am” in Christ. I was happy to agree to join and so today, I have for you an, “I am” creative prompt!

If you’re coming back as a regular part of my community, brand new to me, or joining from the His Kingdom Come series, thanks so much for hanging out with me today! I hope you’ll enjoy my video art journal tutorial and then get creating! [click to continue…]

Firstly though, two things… [click to continue…]
