Constellations - Dot painting

Constellations dot painting where the subject is dots already

Star patterns mapped across a night sky, joined by fine lines. No other design suits this technique quite so literally: the stars are dots, and you place every one of them.

There is no paint, no mess, and no drying time involved. You simply use the special markers to follow the template and create a masterpiece.

Supplied with

One complete package:

• Canvas with the sky printed on it: firm, with the constellations clearly marked.
• Guide: one page of instruction.
• Markers with two tips:
  • 1.0 mm side: for the deep sky between the figures.
  • 0.5 mm side: for the stars and the connecting lines.

Quiet, repetitive, absorbing

Filling a night sky is about as meditative as the hobby gets. The hand keeps moving and the mind goes somewhere else entirely.

You can easily pause and resume this hobby whenever you like. Hand over a few figures to work on together with your child for quality offline time.

Making stars stand out from sky

Since both are made of the same ink, the stars only read as bright when the sky around them is packed tight. The denser you work, the more the constellations lift out.

The visual texture created by the dots gives a fascinating three dimensional look. It makes a beautiful homemade wall decoration or a DIY gift.
