This weekend we had great fun decorating Easter eggs with the grandkids. Ever on the lookout for art supplies, I decided to try using the leftover dye as watercolor paints on Sunday’s Scripture doodle.
As always, I began with an ink drawing of the Scripture, this week from Philippians 2:6-8, a good reflection on the servant nature of our Lord, Jesus. Feel free to download this black and white page and print for your own coloring fun and meditation!
Then I added a light color wash with splashes and drips of the dye on the watercolor page sprayed with water..
Then I darkened the pretty pastel colors OUTSIDE of the words:
How appropriate for this week’s Scripture Doodle to be painted with Easter egg dye!
And the winner of last week’s Somerset Apprentice Giveaway Celebration?
