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, we will work on four different approaches:

1. 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);

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

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

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