Jesus Falling Under the Heavy Wooden Cross

A robed man with a crown of thorns and a halo has fallen to one knee and one hand on the rocky ground, while a large wooden cross tilts across his shoulder and slides toward the bottom of the page. In front, a barefoot man in a head covering and a short tunic leans on a long staff and looks down at him. Behind them, a bearded man in a draped cloak stands with several helmeted soldiers holding spears under a stone gate tower. Rocky hills, a small waterfall, a lone tree and a distant walled city fill the background. Try soft browns and grays for the stones and cross, then use deeper colors for the cloaks so the figures stand out. This free page also works well for a Good Friday talk about the Stations of the Cross.
