Bethlehem Sky – part 1 of a Nativity series.
This is part one of a 6-panel Nativity theme. The overall collection will be 36″ x 40″ and comprised of the sky (36″ x 12″) , two animals (18″ x 12″ each), and the Holy Family (12″ x 20″ each).
This first panel is the Bethlehem sky. It is acrylic on canvas, and was painted on canvas prepared with two coats of black acrylic gesso. The stars were painted with a toothpick. The milky way was painted with a 2″ brush. The mountains were painted using a one inch chisel brush, and the Bethlehem star was painted with both the 1″ chisel brush and a 00 brush.
