I was drawn to the mysterious stillness of this backyard space, just down the road from me. What I find fascinating is that because its night your mind fills in the gaps and creates a story. Why is the blue light on? Why is there a van parked there? Its also easier to get away from drawing 'things' and focus on the big shapes. In this case the sky becomes the shadows and everything gets tied together.

I used a DS paint called 'Moonglow' which I would recommend if anyone else fancies giving a night scene a go. I used a cheap inch wide square end brush for the lines.
