Veneziano looked up the night sky, paintbrush in hand and canvas in front of him. Glancing at the stars, back to his canvas and so forth, he tried to observe as much detail as he could. He started to paint, colouring a corner dark blue and continuing from there. Every now and then, he would add a speck of yellow to represent each star.
Of course, as the hours passed, the sky gradually grew lighter and the stars began to fade. As a result, Veneziano ended up having to rush halfway through and painted the rest of his picture rather carelessly. He finished and left it to dry, before hurrying off to bed.
