Welcome to this class on painting 15 cosmic themed paintings with watercolours. You probably have seen pictures of swirling galaxies, distant planets, and the vast expanse of space, and wondered, how you could transform them into paintings or create even more stunning artworks with them. The idea of painting such majestic scenes can be daunting. It is like capturing the infinite beauty of the universe in a single brushstroke. But fear not, because I am here to show you that it's not about perfection, it's about understanding the techniques and let your creativity soar.

There will be 15 class projects. From blending ethereal nebulae to casting starlight upon distant planets we will cover it all. But here is the best part, by the end of your cosmic expedition, you’ll not only have mastered the art of painting space but also discovered how to infuse your own creativity into each piece. I have included a bonus lesson at the end where I will be sharing tips on transforming references and making your future cosmic creations truly one-of-a-kind.

Right from all the materials needed to the colours used in each of the projects, I will be guiding you step by step through the entire painting process so that you can create your own collection of cosmic paintings as well. So join me and let us explore the cosmos together. Let’s defy gravity and paint the stars.
