Super moon

Today, I have mainly been painting the moon. Not the actual moon, I'm not responsible for the super blue blood moon that some people will be able to see in the sky tonight. No, I have been busy adding the details to the moon in a section of one of the paintings I am currently working on.

You can see how I started this painting in my post A load of bull

Moon inspiration

The inspiration for the design of the surface of the moon in this painting came from drawings of the moon made by Johannes Hevelius and Galileo in the 1600's.

A drawing of the full Moon from Johannes Hevelius's 1647 atlas of the Moon

I exaggerated some of the swirls and patterns, and blended cobalt turquoise into the black and grey tones.

I'll be looking up at the sky tonight to see the glorious super moon. Will you?
