Bible Journaling - Exodus 12

Exodus 12 tells us about the first passover and the origins of this very important religious celebration. There are a number of rules and prescriptions given for the passover, but I decided to focus on the fact that the Israelites were passed over from God's wrath. They had to smear the blood of a slain lamb on their doorposts in order to prevent death from entering there. This points to Jesus in the New Testament, the Lamb slain for us, so that we could have eternal life, instead of reaping the wages of sin and death. I illustrated this in the form of a giant double door, making sure that I painted the door posts/frame red.

Exodus 12 look like this in the Inspire Praise Bible.

I cover the vellum page and then I coat the paper page with Zellen Clear Gesso.

My pages look like this when I am ready to start journaling.

I use an HB pencil to draw two doors on the page.

I paint the doors with Derwent Inktense pencils and a Pentel Aqua Brush.

I then paint a flower pot and the background.

Then I paint plants to grow around the door.

What my pages looked like when I was done.
