Van Gogh was a genius with light and color, so all he really needed was a canvas and some paint:
We needed a little bit more help. We used sturdy black cardstock, outlined the main lines and shapes in Starry Night in pencil, traced those lines in elmer's glue, let dry, and then applied the oil pastels. The glue adds movement and texture to the pieces.
Not bad for our first attempt at recreating the work of one of our favorite post-impressionists.

So where is yours?
Actually, for the first time in a long time, I did buy supplies for myself on this one! Funny that you would ask that. :) Mine will be done sometime in the next week or so. I'll try to remember to send you the pic.
