Want a super easy way to interact with God’s Word creatively?
This post is for you! It doesn’t get much easier than this to get started in bible art journaling. Just create a wash of color in the bottom triangle of the page on the journaling side with watercolors (or gelatos, or colored pencils or acrylics…you get the picture) and glue on the free printable. Add a journaled prayer or thought of your own. Voila! Bible art journaling doesn’t have to be confusing and difficult – it just has to help you get into the bible and remember what God is speaking to you through His word.
A Guide for Everyday Life
The real treasure is the time spent in this living and active book that can be a guide for our everyday lives! That is what bible art journaling is really focused on. Allowing your creative side to make spending time with God a joy rather than a chore is the whole point and purpose of this form of devotion. It is an active, involved process where the artistic result is not the real goal. Rather, a changed heart, a transformed mind – those are the true masterpieces which are being developed.

Your Turn
Go grab your watercolors, a brush, and a couple cups of water. If you want this free printable (as well as the ones I will be using for John 8 and 9), simply click on the image below to get the pdf. A glue stick and some scissors will complete your major supplies. Super simple!

Materials I used:
I love my Windsor Newton Cotman Watercolor Field Set. They are a student grade watercolor set, but the colors are so saturated and creamy when you are working with them. Since I started bible art journaling, I have used Sakura Micron pens and still really like them! They come in a variety of colors and sizes, but today, I just used the basic black pen.
