FEATURED VIDEO
This featured video, “Cross Hill,” is from our Bible Stories volume: The Crossmaker. This is a mixed media project (watercolor, permanent marker, fluorescent crayon, black light) by resident artist Jim Pence. Even if you don’t have the fluorescent crayons and black light, this is a fun project! Give it a try. And check out The Crossmaker, where you’ll find two more art projects plus a lot more! Links are below the video.

Art Supplies
FOR CHALK ART
Basic Chalk Set – I recommend the 35-count half box. It’s a good starter set with a nice array of colors. — https://www.eternityarts.com/chalk-drawing-supplies/basic-chalk-sets/
Visible Fluorescent Chalk Set – These are bright “day-glo” colors. – https://www.eternityarts.com/chalk-drawing-supplies/fluorescent-chalk/
Black Light (Invisible Fluorescent) Chalk – This is what I draw my invisible pictures with. I recommend the Black Light Starter Set – https://www.eternityarts.com/chalk-drawing-supplies/black-light-chalk/
Bogus Paper – This is what almost all chalk artists use to draw on. It is BIG (54″x40″). Start with a small (10 sheet) pack. – https://www.eternityarts.com/chalk-drawing-supplies/bogus-paper/
