Have you ever tried to paint the sky when it doesn’t stay still? In this session, you’ll have a live planetarium show in the immersive 360-degree dome followed by a session using liquid watercolours to create your own glowing night sky — watching colours spread, blend and shift across the page to form galaxies, auroras and nebula-like effects.

FREE to book event,  supported by D&G Council.

There’s a bit of magic in it. You don’t control every part… and that’s exactly what makes it work. Once your sky has developed, you’ll add bold black silhouettes using Indian ink — simple shapes like mountains or tree lines that make all those colours really stand out.

No two pieces ever look the same, and you don’t need to be “good at art” to enjoy it — just up for experimenting and seeing what happens.

Each workshop includes a live interactive audience led planetarium show in the immersive 360-degree dome at Kirkcudbright Dark Space Planetarium.
