The Bible Botanical

       "The Creator has revealed himself to man, not only in the Scriptures of Divine truth, but also in Nature, for "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handiwork, day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge." Psalm 19: 1, 2

       In no previous age has the study of Nature been pursued with such zeal as at the present day. There is absolutely nothing with which man is acquainted, that does not become an object of interest and profound investigation to the student of Nature. " Rev. A Stapleton

       This collection of printable Biblical Botanical prints below is dedicated to those of you who would enjoy coloring and crafting a lovely selection of prints to give as a gift or to include in a personal journal or even to display in your own home. "The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein." Psalm 111: 2. 

• Why are the prints in red? Red is the compliment of green on the color wheel. This simple adjustment for a botanical art applications speeds up the process of combining colors as they are ordinarily combined, to make the subjects appear three dimensional. This traditional "way" of coloring botanical prints has been around for several centuries. However, that doesn't mean that you need work this way, so change it back to grey if you wish to.
• How can I reverse the prints to grey? If you do not want to print the coloring pages red, simply adjust the color print back to black and white inside the software preferences of your home computer before hitting the print button.
