Your assignment is to paint a colorful galaxy in watercolor, with the help of the exercises and techniques we will be working on in the class.

What you learn will help you blend contrasting colors smoothly while getting the depth and vibrancy that are so typical of a galaxy.

To achieve this, we will focus on specific watercolor techniques such as blending, layering and lifting.

We will study each one of them with simple exercises, to understand how to use them effectively in a painting.

We will apply what we have learned to complete the project and get into more watercolor background and landscape painting, with confidence.

To get started, get your supplies ready and download the resources (color mixing guide, reference photo used to paint the galaxy, and photo of my own painting).

Please share your progress in the project section of this class and reach out to me if you have any questions !

Let's now learn how to paint a gorgeous watercolor galaxy full of shiny stars !
