Here’s a sketch I’ve been working on, based on a detail from the painting The Raising of the Daughter of Jairus by Renaissance artist Veronese. It’s a very rough approximation. But, I’ve had an absorbing time working on it. Drawn freehand on my iPad Pro using the Sketch Club app. About six and a half hours of work total. I’ll share a photo of the original painting as a comment. #digitalart #ipadart #digitalartapp #sketchclubapp

Whether or not you believe the event really happened, it is still a very moving story, from the Gospel according to Mark: ‘Jairus, one of the synagogue leaders, came forward. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet and pleaded with him, “My daughter is about to die. Please, come and place your hands on her so that she can be healed and live.” So Jesus went with him…Then, taking the child’s parents and his disciples with him, he went to the room where the child was. Taking her hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Young woman, get up.” Suddenly the young woman got up and began to walk around. She was 12 years old. They were shocked!’ — Mark‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭24‬a — 40‬b-42‬ ‭(CEB‬‬)

Earlier today, I visited the art museum and chose 2 different works to sketch. Both drawn freehand on my iPad Pro using the Sketch Club app. On the left, I put in 38 minutes; on the right 20 minutes. So they are not intended as finished works. I may go back a few more times to further develop the sketch on the left. We’ll see. #sketchclubapp #digitalart #digitalartapp #ipadart #ipadartapp

On the left, based on a painting of Saint Cecilia, c. 1626, by Simon Vouet (1590-1649), and on the right, based on a small sculpture, Saint Augustine’s reliquary, Mexico, c. 1650.
