Veronica’s Veil - Biblical Fiction

Materials used: 6x6 inch Black-coated Ampersand board and scratching tools.

This is one of the many scratchboard art illustrations I have been commissioned by The Gardner Francis Fox Library to do book covers for. This is book #021 of 156 paperback novels being transcribed by The Gardner Francis Fox Library.

The crowd was pushing toward Calvary when Veronica saw Christ swaying under the weight of the cross. Filled with pity, she wiped His bleeding face with her veil.

Thus the miracle happened. There on the linen cloth, imprinted in perfect detail for all to see, was Christ's image!

Here’s two short videos of my process for creating this scratchboard art illustration.
