In this session of Art Pastor Live I invite you to walk with me as I work on an illustrated Bible study that helps to put Jeremiah 29:11 in context. I am using Clip Studio Paint to draw this study in a comic book format. This session will be equal parts Bible nerd and Comic Artist nerd fun!
This week I am working on thumbnails for an oil painting project. A family commissioned me to do a painting to honor the memory of their son who was killed in a motorcycle accident. I am so honored that the family gave me permission to share the journey of creating this painting.
This week I share the work I’ve been doing around the subject of worship. Two things converge for me this week: First, I am the new Dean of the Chapel at Luther Seminary and it is my responsibility to cultivate, steward, and shepherd the worship and spiritual life of our Seminary. Second, I am writing a course called Loving God with our Spirit for Faith+Lead Academy in which I talk about the spiritual practice of worship.
I spent all day on Friday visually thinking through the question, “Why are there so many worship styles, and how do I choose one that’s right for me?” I find that Toon Boom Storyboard Pro is an excellent tool to create multi-dimensional mind maps. If you’ve read my book The Visual Preacher then you know that I love creating mind maps to visually explore a sermon, or any presentation. This livestream is an example of that.
I hope you find this session interesting and helpful. I get rambling a bit, and definitely run out of time to go deeply into all the ideas I drew about.
In this livestream session I talk about the Two Books that we read to learn about God: the book of nature and the book of scripture. I also work on an illustration for Science and the Church of how photosynthesis works in trees.
What does it mean to frame a subject? Join me as we discuss different frameworks for discussing discipleship and watch as I begin to draw the frames of our conversation in Clip Studio Paint on the iPad.
In this session of Art Pastor Live I define the term discipleship and then play with the metaphor by drawing a disciple ship in procreate on my iPad. Enjoy!
