October Art Space: A Greenhouse Draw-Along

Creating a nighttime outdoor scene

Welcome to October’s Art Space! This month I’ve made a draw-along video (12 minutes long) showing the creation of a nighttime greenhouse scene.

If you are new to my Studio Notebook newsletter, each month I publish a tutorial, draw-along or art activity as part of the paid subscription option. In October’s draw-along, I’m making this little scene, drawn with wax pastel on a background of matte blue paint:

Here’s the original daytime version of the drawing:

This project is a continuation of some nighttime drawings I’ve been working on lately, and I find the wax pastel on a dark background to be a great mixture of mediums to explore painting low-light scenes with glowing elements.
