I am using the grid method to realistically draw and add details.

 I put St. Nerses being ordained in the center space being ordained in front of etchmiadzin. This is to symbolize a new era for the Physical Church itself, and the Armenian church/people as a whole. I used colored pencil, sharpie, and mineral spirits for this piece.I used the colored pencil to first put down the basic color and in-fill for the figures. I then used the mineral spirits to blend it together, and add realism to the spoke, I did not use the spirits on the church to give it a rough stone feeling, and to show a transfer from the watery image of the vision in the first piece to the solid institution the church had become at this time. I used the sharpie to highlight St. nerses.

 I wanted to show the vision of etcmiadizin given to the Armenian people (Specifically St. Gregory)  from God so that they could build it. I used colored pencil, mineral spirits, water color,  and ink pen. I used the ink to create a shimmering feel to the image so that it would feel more like a vision. i used the water color for the rays of light emanating to show that it is coming from God, and the pencils to create solid ground.

 

 This depicts the ordination of st. Nerses the Great, representing the start of a new age for etchmiadzin. I used colored pencil for this i layered colors to get the desired mixtures and varied shading for depth
