Watercolor with me! Video Tutorial + Printable Watercolor Template

If you’ve been around the blog or followed me on Instagram this year, you know I’ve fallen in love with watercolors. It started as stress relief and has turned into such a life-giving addition to my drawing (which I still love, of course). Watercoloring seems to bring out another side of my creative brain. It allows me to work more intuitively and freely. Today I’m combining my drawings and watercolors and hoping to share my love of watercolors with...

Summer Bible Memory + Printable Bible Memory Plan Chart

I told you I’d be back (two blog posts in one week–what?)!   Summer break is just around the corner for us. I’m freaking out a little bit about having everyone at home again, but believing that God has good things for us this summer, and that I will not go crazy and lose my hair . . . or my mind . . . or both.   Sigh. The anxiety is real, friends.   I want to have some...

A free page from my new coloring book!

Today’s the day! I’m so excited to share with you my my coloring book! It’s called Coloring the Word: Comfort and Hope, and I hope that it’s the first of many.  God has been so faithful to comfort me through Scripture, and I’m so excited to share a little of that comfort with you through my art. This is a book for those who are fearful, confused, tired, anxious, and feeling weighed down and alone. I find that when you combine...

Faith over fear screensaver + coloring page

Sometimes anxiety can be a lonely experience. “What are you worried about?” my husband will often ask. “I don’t know. It’s just everything all at once,” I usually say.  Anyone else with me? It can be lonely to not even be able to express an internal struggle. I was worshipping with my church family on Sunday and struggling with some anxiety, finding it a hard to sing out and focus. I think God said to me, “I know. I...

Love covers, ten years, and a free Bible verse art print!

“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8   A whole three years ago when I was a brand-new blogger, I posted my very first printable. It was a lettered print of 1 Peter 4:8, and it’s been a popular post on my blog since. I still love it (and have it on my wall), but I wanted to give it a little makeover. Plus, my husband and I just...

A life on the rock + Matthew 7:24 Bible coloring page in English and Spanish

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the...

Welcome to the blog!

I’m Mary and I’m glad you’re here! Since 2014, I’ve been sharing encouraging words, fun Bible printables, and accessible art activities.

let’s talk about . . .

This episode of The Pictured Word Podcast is Chapt This episode of The Pictured Word Podcast is Chapter 3 of the Jesus Speaks to Women Series on the words Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well, found in John 4:1-42. You can listen on the Marydean Draws Substack page or on most podcast apps. 
❤️
In this study, I examine the common assumptions we often hear about this story, provide important cultural context, and try to understand what the conversation between Jesus and the woman, the longest recorded between Jesus and anyone in the Gospels, is actually about.

Here is the episode link:

❤️Welcome to The Pictured Word podcast, where I look at Scripture through a curious writer and artist’s eyes, draw on the beauty found in the tradition of Christian art, and learn from the insight of Biblical scholarship. Whether you come to the Bible weary, wounded, or wondering, my goal is to help you see the Jesus revealed there.

This print in my newest collection of hymn prints This print in my newest collection of hymn prints is a really special one and the first time I've made a horizontal print. “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by James Weldon Johnson and his brother Rosamond Johnson was written in 1900 and became known as the “Negro National Hymn” or “Negro National Anthem.” You might recognize it as the song that opens the Super Bowl each year. James Johnson was an educator, lawyer, and author, and his brother Rosamond was an accomplished musician. You can read more about the brothers in the post I wrote about them below.

Here's the link to the print that comes in 8x10" and 11x14":

I'm getting ready to record the podcast episode on I'm getting ready to record the podcast episode on the Samaritan woman in John 4. I'm wondering what you've been taught or have assumed about her and the point of her extensive conversation with Jesus. Through studying this story, I've changed my mind about most of my previous assumptions! Podcast episode coming this week on The Pictured Word Podcast!
