As you all know based on last week's post, I'm working on redecorating my (used to be) crusty and dusty entryway. I started with the and now I'm creating some decor for the walls. I wanted to make something that's encouraging to my family as we come and go as well as others as they enter our home. When I stumbled upon this scripture in Romans I immediately knew this needed to be a piece of art. The entryway is mainly neutral so I knew I wanted to bring in a subtle pop of color to the space so I decided on watercolor since 1. it's soft and 2. it feels like worn paper (besides the color), which plays off of the scriptures (they were originally letters written before being printed!). I also chose this "hard to read" type of font to capture the "original" writings. I know scripture was not originally written in English but let's just imagine it did for a second lol.
I started by painting my plywood with white sealer then stippled on some paint to create a watercolor effect (check out my blog post for more details on how I did this).
Trace and paint the letters on the wood.
Attach the frame with a nail gun and enjoy!

I hope you enjoy and until next time!
