Moonlight Old Van - Dot painting

Moonlight Old Van dot painting under a full moon

An old camper van parked in the dark, the moon high behind it. Nearly all of the canvas is night sky, which makes for a long and unusually calm project.

A long, calm night sky and an old van: dot painting here means one patient marker, zero clutter and no screens at all.

What is in the dot painting kit

Everything you need comes in one box:

• Printed canvas: sturdy, with clean lines.
• Guide: brief notes to get you going.
• Double-tip markers:
  • 1.0 mm tip: for the wide sky and the van body.
  • 0.5 mm tip: for the van windows, wheels and the stars.

Calm, unhurried stretches

Dotting a night sky is about the most meditative job in the range. Your hand keeps moving and the evening slips by.

Hand it to someone who could use a slower pace, or take the quiet hours for yourself, perhaps with a hot drink nearby. A dot art painting kit with everything included.

Letting the moon appear

The moon stays untouched canvas. Darken everything around it and the disc appears by itself.

Make a few and the vans form a series. Or wrap this one up as a present that carries hours of calm inside.
