Grapes with Text
Grapes with Text

Roseville Lutheran Church Commission | Media List


Statement

This was commissioned by Roseville Lutheran Church, It was decided to compliment the text with an under-painting of grapes. The 2 Corinthians text describes a joyful response to God, an overflowing of giving to others and enthusiastic leaders dedicated to the Lord. The image of leaves and grapes suggests growth, abundance and fruitfulness. The hand lettered text and painting are each scanned to create a digital file and prepared for printing in Photoshop.
The leaves are painted on the vein side with pigment, then pressed on wet paper. More watercolor is applied to the wet paper and wax paper 'grapes' are pressed on the paper. When this is completely dry, leaves and wax paper are removed to reveal the basic design structure. Painting one layer after another gradually builds depth and definition in the image.
