Let Us Pray. 8 x 8 Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas. Sheila Delgado 2015

Apologies for the bad photo quality. There is a glare off the upper right corner, altering the colors. This is my gift to a friend for her birthday.  She loved it so much, that she asked me to do nine more. Those will be her gifts to the church council.

I was really intimidated by doing the lettering for this. I kept putting it off, actually. I started by using Photoshop to choose a font and layout, sizing it for the canvas. I printed it out, and then transferred it to the canvas.

I painted the letters, then outlined them with a waterproof pen. I had to go back and touch up a few spots with more white paint. I was sort of alternating between pen and paint to smooth out a few mistakes. But overall, the lettering was easier than I thought it would be, and I did not goof half as much as I expected. Nice surprise.

I also worked on a quick card.

Watercolor Birthday card.

Time to start those nine prayer pieces!

Happy weekend ya’ll!
