How to Draw Saint Martin de Porres

Did you know that during November we celebrate Black Catholic History month? In today’s tutorial, I walk you through how to draw Saint Martin de Porres step-by-step. We use simple lines and shapes and you can color him with your favorite art supplies.

Saint Martin’s father was a Spanish nobleman and his mother was a freed slave of African and Native descent. He is known for his work on behalf of the poor and you often see him holding a broom, a basket of bread, or surrounded by animals.

Celebrating One Year of Catholic Art Tutorials!

A year ago today, I re-launched my YouTube channel to create Catholic art tutorials. I committed to creating at least 3 tutorials a month for a year to help provide a resource for Catholic families, schools, homeschooling families, budding artists, etc.

Honestly, I didn’t think that I would make it this far, and it’s all thanks to you. Every time I thought about giving up, you would send me a message or a picture of your family’s artwork and it made all of the difference and inspired me to keep going with this crazy dream of mine.

As of today, my little channel has almost 500 subscribers and over 60 tutorials. I do this just for fun in my free time. If you want to see what goes into a video that I make for you, be sure to check out my newest video showing a behind-the-scenes look:

If you want to support the work that I do here, I would greatly appreciate it. I am completely self-funded and buy all of my own supplies, technology, etc. You can “buy me a coffee” or make a donation to my art supply wish list. Buy Me a Coffee is like a tip jar (Patreon/Go Fund Me “lite”).

Thank you again for all of your prayers, encouragement, and support. I have loved seeing all of the artwork you have been creating. Here’s to another year!

Auspice Maria Supplies

Canvas, Board, or thick paper of your size choice (I used an 8×10” Artist’s Loft Canvas from Michael’s)
Dick Blick and Master’s Touch (Hobby Lobby) are also great canvas options
Acrylic Paint (I used Pthalocyanine Blue, Titanium White, and Metallic Gold Artist’s Loft Paints)
(Artist’s Loft, Master’s Touch, Dick Blick and Liquitex are all great cost-effective brands. Brands like Craft Smart and DecoArt can be too thin depending on the color)
If you want a non-permanent water soluble option for little kids, I highly recommend gouache or tempera paints. My kids love these gouache sets.
Paint brushes (One big and one small, though a medium sized option could be nice too)
Water
Paper Towels
Palette (or paper plates)
Apron or a Shirt that you wouldn’t mind getting messy
Chalk or a Pencil
Optional: Hair Dryer

Once acrylic paint dries, it is permanent. If you get paint on your clothes, try to wash it out as soon as possible. I like to use Murphy’s Oil (Pine Sol, nail polish remover, or isopropyl alcohol work too) and the abrasive part of a sponge to scrub paint out of clothing. If it has dried, soak it in a little bit of one of the solutions listed above for at least 10 minutes before scrubbing off the hardened paint.
