About This Class
As an artist, I am constantly challenged as to how to continue creating while holding down a full time job, maintaining 2 websites and donating my time to charity. Â We all have so much going on, but creating art is so important too. Â It's therapeutic and helps to keep me centered. Â Thank goodness for technology! Â My tablet is always with me so it's been aid in keeping me going with many of my art projects. Â
I have recently discovered a new experience in painting the universe.  In depicting the stars, moons, planets and nebulae, I feel as though I am floating out there somewhere away from all of the hustle of daily life.  In this class, I'll share with you, my process and how I portray the universe on my digital art app Art Studio by Lucky Clan.  Feel free to follow along with me on your own app, with a fine art medium or download Art Studio for yourself. Â
This class is for beginners or advanced artists. Â I can't wait to see your projects and your take on representing the universe. Â Project details are in the My Project section of the class. Â Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have in the Community section. Â I would also be grateful if you would leave me a review so I know how I am doing. Â
Happy trails!

Hands-on Class Project
Your project will be to create a black background digitally or with a fine art medium, then paint the stars using the tips I will show you to show depth and dimension using perspective. Â Then upload your illustration or painting in the project gallery. Â Feel free to show images of your journey along the way. Â It's always interesting to see how different artists approach the same project. Â It's a great learning experience for us all! Â
This class is for beginners or advanced artists. Â I so look forward to see your projects! Â Please don't hesitate to ask questions in the Community section and I'll be happy to respond.
