I was reading in the gospel of John and came upon verses 7: 37-38 which say: “On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ ”. I knew I wanted to paint a waterfall and river to illustrate this verse and the “living water”, but I had never painted a waterfall before!

I love painting with q-tips. They are easy to use, cheap, and they bring this element of child-like fun to painting.
Today’s tutorial shows how to paint lilacs simply with q-tips!
I used watercolor, but you could do the same thing with acrylics or even stamps!
