Luke 10:30 (NLT)
Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was travelling on a trip from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road.”

DRAWING NOTES:

TIME OF DAY:
Not specified in story – I made it mid morning.

LIGHTING NOTES:
Harsh, strong desert lighting. I have used warm colours on the colour wheel (yellow & oranges) as the dominant hues used in this scene. I have used cool blues & violets in the shadow areas to contrast with the warm colours of the harsh desert sunlight. Short shadows indicate that the sun is overhead.

CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Three robbers or bandits & the Hebrew victim.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
There are two versions of this scene:
01) (Previous page) Luke 10 – Parable of the good Samaritan SET01 – Scene 01 – Beaten up.
The original drawing, which has rather grey/brown tones.

02) (This page) Luke 10 – Parable of the good Samaritan SET02 – Scene 01 – Beaten up.
The “new” (2016) drawing, which has brighter reds, oranges & yellow tones.

As you may notice from the titles above, there are two complete sets of the 5 scenes that comprise the story of the good Samaritan. The principle difference between them is colour: SET 01 is the original series of drawings, which have rather grey/brown tones, whilst SET 02 has brighter reds, oranges & yellows throughout the series of cartoons.

Jericho is off to the left, Jerusalem off to the right.

In SET 02, I actually finished scene 03 – Good Samaritan SET02 in 2015 first, before I finished the other scenes. Scene 03 was a special commission for a local primary school, so it was needed first. I have just completed colouring up the other 4 scenes in this set, & made available on the BC website.

The primary school wanted 4 large canvases with my illustrations on, each highlighting one of four values of the school. Apparently the canvases have been well received & are helping to illustrate the Christian ethos of the school.
