Day three hundred: In the mood to explore conte crayon again this evening, it occurred to me that it might be a good medium to create a dynamic night sky. Black conte crayon naturally leaves little tiny spots of paper, which I thought might appear like stars. So, I found a photograph of the milky way, and started to see if I could recreate it. Admittedly, the conte crayon made a realistic representation of the stellar phenomenon extremely difficult. So I did my best to capture its mysterious effervescence, even if the stars didn’t end up in quite the right places.
why?
