I wasn’t originally planning on doing a tutorial on this “abstract outlined florals” page, but I posted it on Instagram and got so many requests to do a tutorial on it. I hadn’t really realized until then what a great tutorial it would make!
It is simple and quick to do and is a great one for beginner Bible Journalers looking to get their feet wet with watercolors.
I just love hummingbirds, don’t you? They are so beautiful and amazing little creatures.
So for today’s tutorial I decided to Bible journal Matthew 6:25-26 which says:…
To celebrate the three year anniversary of this Blog, I thought we could take a trip down memory lane! Here are just 20 Bible journaling ideas with tutorials out of over a hundred on the blog!
I decided I wanted to Bible journal Proverbs 16:9 which says, “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” (ESV).
I knew I wanted to do some kind of pathway to illustrate this verse, and then the memories of walking up to the beach popped into my mind. I did my best to describe my vision in the video, but I just couldn’t get the vision in my head out in words. I didn’t use a reference photo and just went for it.
Do you know those new “reels” on Instagram? (If you don’t, it’s basically Instagram’s “TikTok”, of short and sweet 15 second videos.) Well, I posted one the other day that quickly showed some of my Bible journaling pages that I did my first year, and some of my more recent Bible journaling pages.
It’s a fun little video because you can so clearly see my artistic growth over the years! And so, I got a ton of feedback telling me how encouraging it was to see.
This time I went a more geometric route and added more colors to create a bright and vibrant Bible journaling page. It was SO MUCH fun and an ahhhhmazing time with the Lord.
Of course, I am including the triangle pattern that I created and used for you to have for free.
In today’s video, I show how I created a Bible journaling page by doing brush calligraphy with a small round paintbrush and watercolors. I also added some little flowers and leaves to dress it up. It was such a great time spent in the Word.
Of course, leaves are (usually) necessary in floral paintings. They make flowers look finished and natural. But leaves can also make up gorgeous paintings, or Bible journaling pages all on their own!
If you have been Bible journaling for a little while, you have probably heard of tip-ins or tip-outs, as they are very beloved in the Bible journaling community.
Way back in November 2017, just a couple of months after I started this blog, I did a post on how to paint super simple watercolor roses. It is still one of my most popular videos on YT and a post I’m really proud of.
But, that was almost three years ago! I have learned so much since then. So I thought I should do a little updated rose tutorial.
