Painting Jesus Christ With Oils

Join my Collector's Circle and receive weekly Studio updates! https://mackenzienelsonart.com/join For years, I dreamed of painting Christ—but I couldn’t bring myself to start. I was scared. I wanted it to feel personal, meaningful, and deeply connected to my faith and heart. I also needed the right model. My husband quietly grew his hair out over time, and one day it finally hit me that he was the perfect model I was looking for! At last, I had the courage to begin. In this video, I create my second painting of Christ. I invite you into the middle of the painting process, where I find myself stuck, uncertain, and longing for direction. I’d love to hear your thoughts: How would you finish this piece? Thank you for being here! xo -Mackenzie
