I had classes in the morning so I got a late start, but I've been thoroughly enjoying the book headings I've been working on. I still have quite a few to go. So far I've done these four.
Here's my first one of the day... I used Prang and Derwent colored pencils using lots of layering of colors. The don't show up well in the photo though. The lettering is in a dark green, the words "gracious" and "merciful" are in Rose with Lake Red on top of that. With the word "love" I put shading in on all of the curves to give it a 3D effect. The colors I used were red orange for the shading and rose for the top color. I did the same for "Nehemiah". I could have done the boulders in gray but I liked the warm shades of Golden Brown with Terracotta over the top much better. This was a pre-drawn design found on page 548 of the Bible.
The verse is one that I should remember every day because I constantly screw up. Isn't it nice to know that God looks through Jesus at our sins and forgives us totally when we do?
I had a lot of fun coloring this one. The words "Proverbs, Wisdom," "Knowledge," and "good judgment" are all done in Prang's color rose with red lake as a top color. Lord and Holy one are done in Derwent's color of golden brown with Prang's Golden Yellow as a top layer. I did the background in Prang's soothing color yellow green. This is a pre-drawn design found on page 743 of the Bible.
Isaiah was done in a combination of sea colors. It is very soothing to look at. This design came pre-drawn in the Bible. It's on page 805.
Habakkuk was a joy to color. It's found on page 1124 of the Bible. Once again it's a pre-drawn design and not one of my own. I love the vibrant colors and the French Country feel of the fruit. I used a soothing color palette of deep reds, muted purples, olive green and deep greens. The name of the book is done in Copper Beeches which looks like a shiny penny even though the camera couldn't pick that up.
Well, that's it so far today.
