Sketch Board Technique

Interior of a church In only five short minutes, the Gospel had been communicated in a clear, interesting, and appealing sketch board technique to a small but personal group of people in a busy part of a large city. Sketch board technique has done its work. In other situations, the sketch board is equally useful. I have used this same sketch board technique in family services in a large church, to holidaymakers enjoying the sun in the open air and with a groups of teenagers at Christian Discos. The key to success is practice.

Paint or Felt Tip Pens

The sketch board technique can be used not only with paint but also with color felt tip pens. These are a little cleaner than wet paint which does tend to run on the board and can easily end up either on the floor or on your clothes! There are potential problems but the single biggest advantage of ladder lettering is its visibility. Even in a large church, four or five inch high words can easily be seen a hundred feet or more away. If you are a little nervous of painting try drawing out the lines faintly in pencil beforehand as a guide. A small pendant microphone hung around the neck is a great asset too, as it will enable you to partly turn your back on your audience and still be able to be heard.
