See all formats and editions
Drawing, painting, and journaling activities that use the Christian bible as a starting point for inspiration and exploration of faith.

Explore your faith artistically with Bible Journaling for the Fine Artist—a guide that goes beyond doodling and lettering to teach you to make fine art prayer journals, daily devotionals, and more.

Beginning with a brief introduction to Bible journaling, this valuable guide explores various media, including colored pencils, pen and ink, brush pens, and watercolor paint, and how to use them. You will find dozens of step-by-step tutorials for drawing and painting beautiful artwork related to meaningful Bible passages, as well as plenty of ideas and techniques for applying lettering, flourishes, icons, and embellishments to your artwork for maximum impact.

There are tips for creating compelling layouts, reworking and embracing mistakes, and several step-by-step projects for you to incorporate into your own Bible or prayer journal. Two talented and dynamic artists, Melissa Fischer and Kate Peiffer, show how they integrate their own style and artistry with their faith through a variety of art journaling projects, from full-page masterpieces to smaller artwork in the margins and on the covers of their journals.

From simple doodled designs to elaborate full-page artwork, creating in the pages of your Bible is a beautiful and meaningful way to express and explore your faith. With just a few art tools of your choosing, you can turn the pages of your Bible into personal and special works of art that reflect your God-given creativity and your relationship with Him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, don't listen to negative reviews
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2021

I purchased this book, and it has been a great book to learn from. I am writing in response to all the negative reviews about this book. Don't listen to them! You must understand that this book was written to "fine artists", not 15 minute crafters. If you are a crafter, not a fine artist, this book will not help you. If you expect to imitate what is in this book in 15 minutes, forget it! That will not happen. This book was written to those who love drawing, painting, and hand lettering, and are constantly trying to improve their skills. This book was written to those who are willing to practice and practice and practice. I am a self-taught artist, and I spend hours pouring over this book, studying the illustrations, carefully reading the instructions, and trying to imitate what I see in this book. I would love to be as good an artist as the authors are.
The first few chapters include sections on materials you will need, a few pages on basic drawing instruction, a guide to lettering, how to correct your mistakes, and keeping a daily sketchbook and sketching practice. It also includes a few pages on how to do your Bible journaling on surfaces outside the Bible. (I happen to do my Bible journaling in my sketchbook, not in a Bible.)
Then they go on to show you examples and projects for working with colored pencils, watercolor pencils, black drawing pens, watercolor, and acrylic paints. There are some examples of techniques that cross the boundary between craft and art, such as Chalkboard lettering, floral word art, brush pen lettering, stippling, and other pen techniques.
I will say this is not a book for beginners and those who have just begun Bible journaling or are new to the idea of fine art. This is for those who have some basic Bible journaling and drawing and painting experience. I've been drawing and painting for a while now, so this book is right up my alley. My favorite parts of this book are the examples and projects that include fine art-level drawing and painting. I hope you can understand this book is trying to reach a different audience than those who are looking for quick 15 minute techniques. If that is what you're looking for, you should look at other books.
The artwork in this book is beautiful, and it is a teaching book. But it teaches a higher level of art. I am responding to those reviewers who claim this book was written only to show off the authors' own beautiful art. That is not true. And obviously, this book is for the fine art audience, not a craft-level audience who looks for 15 minutes techniques or projects. Hope this is helpful to potential buyers.

This is a great book! I wasn't sure as it says fine artist in the title, which made me think it would be too advanced for me as I would not describe myself as a fine artist. I was very wrong, it is a beautiful book which covers so much. There are many step by step ideas and everything is explained in easy to follow steps. I have been following Melissa Fischer on Instagram for a long time, so I knew I had to get this book and it did not disappoint.
