The detail process is slow going but it adds a lot of depth and brings the figures to life. I spent most of Wednesday evening working on Joseph's face and refining details in his hair. Sunday I worked on his clothing and started building up layers to make his shirt drape correctly.
The image below shows the difference between last Sunday and this Sunday's progress.
10 years ago I heard a calling to paint stories from the bible. Today I am excited to announce my next painting in this series called, The Nativity. I have been lucky enough to partner up with Willowbrook Community Church in Forest Lake, MN and do something I have never done before. The next 8 weeks I will be painting publicly to share the progress of my work in front of hundreds of people. Each week I will paint between the 9am service and the 11am service and share my passion for painting and bringing the story of Christ to life on canvas.
I welcome you to come and check it out and invite your friends to see what we are up to at Willowbrook Community Church. This past Sunday I kicked off my painting with a great start. Below are a few photographs taken by Heidi Schauer of my first day of work. Stay tuned for more and follow along with the journey. #willowbrooknativity
