Further to my last post, here's the timelapse video of me creating the #PastelDrawing of a 35% #WaningCrescentMoon on black paper with #Stabilo #CarbOthello pastel pencils #SpaceArt #MoonArt #AstronomyDrawing

Today is my Dad's 80th Birthday and one of my gifts for him was this #PastelDrawing of the #Moon as it looked the day he was born - 84% #WaningGibbous. If you want to see the timelapse of me creating it, the video is now live here: https://youtu.be/aw0ijxQgZ_U #SpaceArt #AstronomyArt #AstronomyDrawing #MoonArt #MoonDrawing #LunarArt #LunarDrawing

I recently created this #PastelDrawing of the #Moon on my brother's wedding day, a #LastQuarterMoon. I used Frisk black A4 paper and Stabilo CarbOthello pastel pencils. The timelapse video of me creating this art is here:

#PastelDrawing of a 20% #WaningCrescentMoon + #earthshine. This was a wedding gift for my friends Stacey & Naomi; it's (nearly!) the #Moon on their wedding day. #Stabilo #CarbOthello #PastelPencils.

#PastelDrawings of #LunarCraters near the terminator on 26th Feb 2024. When I was imaging them they were screaming "draw me" so last night I did! I used my photos as a reference. Black paper, #StabiloCarbOthello pastel pencils in white & black #AstronomySketching #LunarSketching #SpaceArt #AstronomyDrawing

On #PastelPencil sharpening duty as I'm doing another #AstronomySketching workshop at a home education camp tomorrow. Hoping for some clear patches so we can look at the live view through the #telescope, because the #Moon's phase tomorrow is absolutely perfect for crater & mountain sketching 🥰 #AstronomyDrawing #AstronomyOutreach

Absolutely awesome results from last night's #AstronomySketching #workshop with @Flamsteed AS. Most people had never worked with pastels on black paper before so that makes these even more impressive!

This evening I'm heading down to London to do an #AstronomySketching workshop for the lovely people at Flamsteed AS. Yesterday I sharpened all of my pastel pencils and organised the rest of my pastels & charcoal sticks. So excited to see everybody's work later :-) #AstronomyDrawing #AstronomyArt #SpaceArt #ArtTeacher #AstronomyOutreach

2 years ago I created this #PastelSketch of #SinusIridum. I love this area of the #Moon, so this is one of my favourite sketches I've created to date. It was sketched from one of my own photos using #StabiloCarbOthello pastel pencils on black paper #AstronomySketching #MoonArt #LunarSketching #SpaceArt #PastelArt #AstronomyDrawing

I am really looking forward to doing an #AstronomySketching workshop tonight on Zoom for Luton Astronomical Society. It's always amazing fun :-)
