Field Arts Workshop – Creative Night Skies – Full Class

How do you journal night skies? It's always been a love-hate thing for me—I love tracking the stars and planets and finding constellations, but depicting them in journals can be challenging!

In this free online workshop, I demonstrate four different approaches:

Pre-painted watercolor skies on which you can add sky components live or after a sky-viewing telescope session (a technique inspired by Alaska artist Kristin Link);

Making a cutaway peek-a-boo window showing day-and-night;

Using Sharpies and white, silver, or other metallic pens and pencils; and

Using black paper and white, silver, or other metallic pens, pencils, and paint.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Journal with or sheets of watercolor paper;

Paint colors: Indigo, Pthalo Blue (Green Shade), Quinacridone Rose or similar, Burnt Sienna (mine are Daniel Smith but any brand will do);

Hair dryer;

White gel pen (the best is Uniball Signo;

White and red colored pencils;

For fun if you have them: metallic paints or pens and pencils;

Black Sharpie;

Black paper.
