Tuesday Art Video: How to Draw a Rocket & Fire in Black Light Chalk

Black Light Rocket Launch


For the last two weeks, I showed how to use chalk to draw a "nighttime" rocket launch.
 


This week, I'm going to show you how to create the same effect with invisible fluorescent (black light) chalk.

You can buy a starter set of invisible fluorescent chalk (12 colors) for $22.00 at Eternity Arts:
