First we started with the sky; for this we needed the colours of white, crimson and red. We started by putting a little bit of red into our white and painted a thin line of this colour along the top of our piece of paper. After this we kept adding a small bit of red to make the colour darker - of course we placed the lighter colours on first.

Next we went on to the grass. We chose two colours to paint the grass - dark green and light green. We used the light green to paint the grass hills and added dark green in different places to make a special effect.

Next we made a mistake because we did the scars on Jesus’s body and head before we did the skin, which we soon found out was a mistake because we should have painted the skin on first and painted the scars on top. We got in trouble because of this.

Then we painted the skin; we used a cream colour we did the whole body apart from the scars (of course).

After that we painted Jesus’s hair and beard using burnt sienna. I though the hair would be a bit lighter because he was dead so we added a bit of white to the paint.

Next we added a crown of thorns to the painting. We used colours of green and after that we added a bit of black every now and then to get the effect of the thorns.

After that we did the woman’s hair; we used a reddish brown which is burnt umber and then the tears were the colour of white and added a bit of blue to get a very light blue.

Then to finish it off we did the dove and the eyes to do the dove we needed a very creamy colour. Adam Hartmann carefully edged round the edge of the feathers after that Christopher Harker painted the centre of the dove while Adam Hartmann made the inner eye colour to make this colour we used white and a tiny amount of orange. For the pupil’s of their eyes we used the tear colour but added a bit more white to make it a very light blue.

We tried to copy the face of the pre-Raphaelite woman Alexa Wilding (who coincidentally is related to Clara Wilding in our class.) First to practice drawing pre-Raphaelite women we sketched some of their faces.
