Jim is drawing with fluorescent lecturer’s chalk on gray bogus paper. You can buy the chalk and paper Jim is using from Eternity Arts (eternityarts.com). You can also do this picture with fluorescent pastels and pastel paper. Scroll down to see the fluorescent products we offer. And don’t forget to buy a black light!

Star of Bethlehem to Cross – Black Light Art

Star of Bethlehem to Cross art project

Merry Christmas from See the Light Art!

This time of year, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, who came into the world that we might be saved. As a reminder that Jesus is the reason for the season, here’s a short video where Jim draws a Star of Bethlehem that turns into a cross when a black light is turned on. 

This effect is super-easy to do. To recreate it, you’ll need to use white chalk and white invislble fluorescent (black light) chalk. You can buy these at EternityArts.com

Have a blessed Christmas!
