The Beginning Bible Art Journaling Challenge Lesson 1

(12 votes, average: 4.25 out of 5)

Hello Everyone! Welcome to lesson 1 of The Beginning! In this series of the Bible Art Journaling Challenge we’re getting the start we’ve always needed. Throughout the series, we’re looking at key scriptures in the Bible story, while focusing on a select few supplies which any beginner can gain confidence with. If you feel less like a beginner, you’ll enjoy all the refreshers and some new insights. In this lesson of The Beginning Bible Art Journaling Challenge, I’ll be sharing simple colored pencil tracing for Bible art journaling with a look at our first of 6 sections of scripture which help us tie the Bible story together.

I’ll leave you with a bit of mystery just because I can. You’ll just have to keep coming back to see where I’m taking us! By the time we finish with lesson 6, you’ll be able to look back and see the Bible in a fresh way with some new understanding. You’ll also be more confident in stepping out creatively, which means you’ll then be ready to move on from The Beginning to even bigger Bible art journaling things! Let’s buckle up for some creative fun as we study the Bible story together!

What is Bible Art Journaling?

As we start, let me quickly explain Bible art journaling in case you’re new to this. Bible art journaling (as well as Bible journaling), are terms both now widely recognized as a process of making a meaningful and respectful record directly on the pages of a Journaling Bible, with some form of artistic, creative, or crafty expression.

The goal should be to

Lion Cubs Inktense Value Painting - Deeper Still Lesson 12

(4 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

Hello Everyone! Welcome to lesson 12 in Deeper Still! In this Bible Art Journaling Challenge series, we’ve been taking an adventure into the depths of God and in this lesson, we’re officially reaching the end of Deeper Still! It’s a great time to talk about value painting. In Lesson 11, I shared about creating an Inktense underpainting with the foundation of some adorable lion cubs. In this final lesson, we’ll be finishing the lion cubs with value painting.

Value Painting

So what is value painting? I wouldn’t call it a “term”. It’s something to consider creatively. I often find that when people are learning about creativity, they can tend to put down color a bit timidly and as a result, end up with something that looks a bit flat and lacking in dimension. Imagine that there is

Collage Painting - Prophetic Art Challenge Vol. 1, Lesson 1

(6 votes, average: 3.33 out of 5)

Hello Everyone! Welcome to lesson 1 of the Prophetic Art Challenge, Vol. 1! In this lesson I’ll be sharing a bit about how this exciting series will work, some tips for developing and creating prophetic art, give you a collage painting tutorial and also some understanding of spiritual interpretation of prophetic art. Lots of fun to pack in, but I think you’ll find I seem to find a way to meld everything together in an approachable and supportive way that you’ll really enjoy. Grab something nice to drink, turn off distractions for a bit and let’s dive in!

Collage painting

In this first lesson, I wanted to reach for the mixed media artist in me. Mixed media art is created when we use more than one type of art medium, (aka, supply), in a piece. For example, watercolor with colored pencil both in one art piece. I wanted to create a collage painting for this lesson, to bring together a bunch of seemingly different pieces, into one thing, to represent the diversity of our prophetic art community and how we can come together. I think you’ll love how [click to continue…]

That would feel like I’d finally managed to get a start at sharing with you, some of the devotionals on my heart and some favorite Bible art journaling techniques and tools.

And here we are! I do feel like I’ve made that start and am so grateful for the journey I’ve been on with you as a beautiful growing community. And if you’re new to me, welcome! I hope you’ll grow to love [click to continue…]

Hello Everyone! Welcome to week 43 of the Bible Art Journaling Challenge! Are you one of those people, (like me), who sort of feels like the Fall/Autumn season is just another example of God showing off His majesty? 🙂 I just LOVE how beautiful the season can be and it always points me to how beautiful He is. All year I’ve been looking forward to capturing the majesty in my Bible. I want a constant reminder that every season has its time and every season has His beauty available to us.

So, I collected up a bunch of leaves and some [click to continue…]
