Tip!
Before painting in your Bible try different mediums in the back of your Bible (I
have used up my whole dictionary) and
try what mediums works for your pens
and colors. When I started to paint in my
Bible I wanted to use my Promarkers and
found out that if I prepared my pages with
matte gel and matte medium, my Promarkers no longer bleed right through the
pages. This works well in my Bible but I
recommend that if you want to use a new
product, first try it out so you know that it
will work in yours. There is not the same
paper in all Bible editions so what works
in my Bible may not work in yours.
When you have prepared your page
with your favorite medium and it has
dried, make the other side as well before
painting. If you prepare and paint on one
side and not the opposite and then want
to paint it, some color can react when you
apply your medium and smear.
When you are painting with water soluble paint and then want to glue something
over it, be careful not to spill glue on your
fingers and accidentally smear the background color of your collage.
