Fruits of the Spirit
I started out trying to draw the
grapes directly on the prepared page (prepared with gesso as usual) and
quickly discovered that pencil marks would NOT erase! It was a mess. What to do? I decided to create a "sticker" to cover it. I took a
plain piece of paper and put double-sided adhesive on the back before
cutting it to size. Then I drew on that* - colored it with watercolor
pencils and blended with a waterbrush. When I was happy with it, I drew the names of the "fruits" with
my Millennium Pen, and put the sticker in place over the marks that
wouldn't erase.
A few days later I drew the lettering below it ("Faith working through Love") using my Scroll & Brush Markers.
*A big "thank you" to the editors of Publications International Ltd. for their article on "How to Draw Grapes". Creating this art in my Bible would have been much more difficult without your help!
