Matthew 13:45-46 (NLT)
[Jesus said] “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a pearl merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!”

DRAWING NOTES:

TIME OF DAY:
I’ve set the scene in the morning.

LIGHTING NOTES:
Light for the scene comes from the sun high in the sky on the left of the scene, shining through thin cloud.

CHARACTERS PRESENT:
The pearl merchant is the man leaning on the pearl, looking a bit pleased with himself… who wouldn’t be with a find like that?!
There is a man & woman looking astonished at the sight of the pearl. Notice his hair & turban flying off in surprise, & she is dropping the water jar she was carrying on her shoulder.
Three sheep, eating grass… they can’t see what all the fuss is about!

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
The clouds are based on a photograph I took last year, where I live in Northamptonshire, UK.
I found a picture of a pearl on the internet & based my version on that.
The figures, house, sheep & scenery are made up from my imagination.
