Master Study Monday | Painting Van Gogh's Starry Night to Learn Night Glow ✨🌙 (Patreon)

Master Study Monday is back, and this week we're stepping into one of the most iconic night paintings ever created—Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night.

For this sketchbook study, I'm not trying to create a perfect copy. Instead, I'm using this famous masterpiece as a learning exercise to explore how Van Gogh used color, brushwork, and contrast to make the night sky feel alive with movement and glowing light.

This lesson is part of our Light & Glow monthly theme. By studying the work of great artists, we can discover techniques that we can apply to our own paintings. As I paint, we'll look closely at how cool blues, vibrant yellows, and expressive brushstrokes work together to create the illusion of moonlight, starlight, and a luminous evening sky.

Whether you're painting along or simply watching, I hope this study inspires you to experiment with creating your own glowing night scenes.

✨ Patreon members: Be sure to check the bonus post ( I'll probably post it in the morning) for additional tips and resources to help you continue exploring night lighting in your own artwork.

Happy painting!
