Watercolor Galaxies - Learn to paint vibrant starry night skies

Wow nice work! May I ask how did you paint the shiny star? Did you use a white gel pen? :)

I used white gouache. It’s kind of hard to explain, but when I do twinkle stars I make a short line from the center of the star in the direction I want a a ray and then while it’s still wet I take make finger and smudge it in a quick line away from the center. Sometimes it’s a hit or miss especially if I don’t drag my finger in a straight line lol.

Oh I see. This one looks perfect, the rays are straight and thin. I will give it a try next time. Thanks!
