Eternal Castle - Provo City Center Temple

This is step one of my 'Temple Project'. When I was a young girl someone gave me a paint by number set. What I remember learning was how tiny value changes made a big difference on the painting, and that as I stepped back the image came together beautifully. The Prophet encourages every member of the Church to have temple images in their home. Wouldn't you love to have a Temple painting in your home that you painted? I've already done the drawing, eventually you'll be able to buy a kit, including paints that I used to paint the final version of the temple. (in progress) What a lovely gift for the aspiring artist!
2 years in the completion of this drawing. I had to correct the perspective, I drew it twice, the first time on tracing paper because it is easy to erase, then I transferred it to Bristol Board, and proceeded to fix all my drawing errors. Yep. 2 hours every Sunday, finished November 2020. Celebration followed! It will now be used to create a Paint by number type kit, not exactly a paint by number but in that idea range.

If you don't want to wait for the kit you could purchase a print from the link and order it the size you want printed on canvas. You'll need to put 3 coats of clear gesso on before you begin painting it with oils. Acrylics would work without the clear gesso. The bigger you order it the easier it will be to paint...FYI
