How to design Journaling Bible edges
Tightly hold pages together or wrap tightly with tape on sides. I am not going to lie, creating images on sides of Bible isn't easy. It takes patience as the pages move while you draw. Sharpies will work fine for this technique, so will colored pencils and stamps.

Week Five: Value painting

PAINTING RULES:

• Paint will be squirted into small containers with lids. This way we don't waste a lot of paint and can use the following days. You may take these home.
• Paint brushes should be taken well care of...
• DO NOT "scrub" paint, paint in a back and forth motion to prolong use of paint brushes.
• When done painting you are responsible for cleaning your brushes.
• TO CLEAN YOUR BRUSH: Squirt a bit of soap in hand and gently swirl brush under water until brush is completely clean. Repeat if needed.
• We will be using clear plastic cups for cleaning brushes in class. Please save these cups. Rinse and return to cart.
• Paper plates will be used as our palettes. We will not save these. Throw away in garbage can by entrance, face down at end of class.
• Keep a paper towel close by for drying brush after rinsing paint.The less water added to paint the crisper your paint will look.

In class project:
Black and white value scale land/city scapes.
Must paint 6 or more distinct layers of value.
(In order) of Lightest to darkest or darkest to lightest.
Starting with lightest is the best technique for this project.

First masking tape your paper to a board. This will help with paper wrinkling.
Then draw your layers lightly with pencil.
You may paint with black and white only. NO COLOR. The less water you use on paper the better your paper will hold up.
Must wash brushes thoroughly!!!
