Project: Painting a Night Sky with Northern Lights
Materials: Video: "Northern Lights," tempera paint (or acrylic paint on canvas), pencil, 12X16 white paper, paint brush and reference pictures. Objective: Learn to paint a night sky, then create bands of green that show movement. Paint a gradation of green values and complete the design with various possible silhouettes to show emphasis and contrast. Procedure: Watch the instructional video, “Northern Lights," once and then watch it again as you work, after completing a rough draft. Look for reference images that can be used to assist in finding the type of silhouette that could be included in the painting. Also look at other pictures of northern lights to design the path of the lights. Transfer the rough draft drawing to the final draft paper or canvas. Follow along and pause as needed. Take a picture of your work. Post it along with a critique. Review the procedure by rewatching the video on the home page on critiquing. Be sure to include your name and title your work on your post.
