Starry Night Pictures - Vincent Van Gogh

With a limited palette and careful instructions, the Dormice children created wonderful pictures inspired by the famous starry night picture.

We used crayon to create the image and the starry night sky. The children practised using small dashes instead of just shading. What a wonderful example!

Look at that beautiful sky!

We then added a watercolour wash to fill in the white spaces. The crayon resisted the paint and the children loved seeing the white crayon appear.
