Do not abandon yourselves to despair.
We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.
-Pope John Paul II
We are the Easter people.
Yes, we are.
Hallelujah!
I have a simple Easter card for you today with a little fine art product that I'm absolutely in love with!
I saw this at our last Creative Arts Society meeting and I literally screamed when the lady demonstrated it.
When I was in college art classes, we worked with graphite a lot, and I always loved the look, but I hated how messy it was, so I sort of abandoned it after graduation.
Until now.
This is the tiny, miracle art supply that has forever changed my life. Water soluble graphite from ArtGraf.

LOOK HOW CUTE HE IS!!! What I did was I stamped the little bunny on copy paper and put it on my LightPad. Then I put the watercolor paper over it, and painted this in about five minutes with my AquaPainter and the graphite. Look at the difference between how black his little eye is and how light the grasses are - it's amazing! I have a serious art crush.
What you can't see is the SHIMMER. I tried nine ways to Easter Sunday to capture that with my camera, but no dice. But trust me, it's luminous and beautiful. I just have one word for this stuff.
Hallelujah.
Ahhhh, I see why you're in love with this stuff! Pretty neat. Ain't technology grand? :)
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness- I've got to get this!!!! I've always loved the look but hated the mess - this is a happy-happy-joy-joy moment. Oh - and your card is wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter
We sang the hymn about Easter people in church on Sunday. Can't remember singing it before, and it was delightful!!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely and that new product extremely appealing. Please stop doing that. ;)
This is sooo VERY stunning. Hallelujah for Easter (and water soluble graphite)!!
ReplyDeleteI like, I like. And yep, I have graphite sticks in my box of sketching pencils that don't get much use because of the mess!
