Baptism of Jesus



Luke 3:21-22

For the story of the Baptism of Jesus, I painted this glow in the dark picture.

I purchased an off white flat twin sheet and cut it into fourths.  This picture is painted on one fourth.  I used a coloring book page as the pattern.  Then I painted the scene with acrylic paint.  I used fabric markers for the outline of Jesus' clothes and the water.  Above Jesus' head is a dove painted in glow in the dark acrylic paint.  I heat set the paint after it was dry by putting the finished sheet in the dryer.

I  turned off the lights and the dove glowed in the dark.  You could also use a blacklight to get a similar effect.
