This is a fun watercolor activity and you can't really go wrong. It utilizes the wet on wet watercolor technique where the colors blend and run into each other. 

​

Watch the tutorial below for some tips and pointers, but make it your own. I have added several different inspiration photos - it doesn't have to be just blue and black.

​

I love adding silhouettes of trees or mountains to my galaxy paintings because it tends to ground the piece. If you don't do this, it will give the painting a look as if the viewer is looking straight up into the night's sky which is also very cool. 

​

Be very very careful when you are adding your stars. Make sure you have a clear area and are flicking downward or gently tapping the handle of your paintbrush. Make sure to clean up after yourself!

​

Finish up by adding details with a white gel pen.
