We all know Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, painted while living in the St. Remy asylum. Like a lot of people I’ve been intrigued by this image and so, of course, I’ve wanted to do my own version of the night sky I see here at my home (technically not an asylum but if this quarantine goes on too much longer…well…) I’m currently working on the one at the left in encaustic (not done yet). Years ago I braided a rug in recycled wool, mostly-blue with yellow stars in the shape of the big dipper (aka the Alaska state flag - go wolverines!). So what does your starry night sky look like? Choose your medium from whatever you have: photos, paint, pencil, collage, crayons, fabric, colored sand, yarn, frosting on a cake, blue jeans & jewelry, towels and TP, magic beans? If you have watercolors and want to try that, here’s a step by step watercolor of night sky — https://www.tropicdrawing.com/watercolor-night-sky/
