1. Prepare the work area: prepare all the materials needed for painting in a quiet place to ensure that the work area is clean and orderly. Draw the night sky background, use dark blue or black pigment, and draw a uniform layer of color on the drawing paper with a brush to show the night sky background. You can gently mix some purple or dark gray to simulate the changing hue of the night sky.
2. Draw a full moon: Choose a suitable place, usually the center of the paper, use white or light yellow pigments, and draw a big circle with brush strokes to represent the bright Mid-Autumn Festival full moon. Make sure the moon is round.
3. Complement the characteristics of the lunar surface: The lunar surface is not completely smooth. You can add some moon features, such as the moon sea and craters. Lighten these features with dark pigments, but don't draw them too clearly.
4. Create moonlight: Use white or light yellow pigments to create some moonlight effects in the night sky around the moon. You can gently paint some colors to simulate the radiation of moonlight.
5. Adjust the details: Check your painting to make sure that the edge of the moon is smooth and the features of the moon are natural. If necessary, you can gently correct it with a brush. Let your painting dry, and then sign in the corner of it.
