After watching every watercolor galaxy lesson I could find I thought I was done. So glad this came up. It's the best by far. Love the purple red one best. Purple green blue is gorgeous too.

I am soooo trying this today!!! Thank you so much! 😊

This was an amazing tutorial.

Thank you for this fantastic video Laura! It was so easy to follow, and I would never have thought of splashing masking fluid with a toothbrush! Perfect result!!

Such pretty galaxies, Laura! My DH takes photos of deep space objects with a telescope and I’m always fascinated by the colours (which are caused by different elements). Thanks for the lovely tutorial. 😊

Green one is my favorite 💚

I got right to splooging like you said. I guess in water color it goes much better when I do that.

Hello Lovely Laura

@lauracolorstoo

Don't worry dear Stacey, I hope you feel better soon! The paper stayed flat because I used a similar amount of water (or very little water) with each wash. So, for the first layer, I saturated the paper completely with the same amount of water on the entire painting. Buckling happens when you use uneven quantities of water on the page at the same time. The water expands the paper fibers, and so if there's not the same amount of water on different spots, then the paper expands at different rates. That's why I prefer using a really large brush for the beginning washes and just covering that page with a ton of water! If you're using white paint, please be advised that the thickness (or the body of the paint) will determine the size of the spatter. You may want to try white acrylic ink instead. The reason I prefer masking fluid is because it allows you the option to remove the big blobs before you start, whereas spattering white at the end sometimes can ruin the beautiful galaxy you've worked hard on :) I'd love to see your wok, feel free to email me anytime with your creations so I can see! lauracolorstoo at gmail dot com.

Have you ever thought about teaching? I would have loved to have you as a teacher when I was young. My first grade teacher smacked my hands for both coloring outside the lines and making my "a"" just like it appears here (Mu Dad had taught me how to read from the newspaper so I thought they were printed correctly! As an adult I drew the most elaborate doodles, frequently when trying a case when the testimony got boring!) As a result I thought I had no ability in art matters. I loved art and took Art History as a individual class my senior year but remained convinced I had no "talent" until I tried my hand at the adult coloring books a couple years ago and feel in love. I absolutely appreciate what you say about "talent" vs. "hard work". I feel sad when I think of all the years I was "artless" other than appreciating the works of others!

If your paper can't take masking fluid alone, you might want to try the Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground.. it's saved me many times! Another idea is to use white acrylic after the fact, similar to the technique I use in my latest galaxy tutorials.

@lauracolorstoo

5 жыл бұрын

You can try it with white acrylic ink, but i prefer the masking fluid because there's usually always a big unwanted splotch with the spattering effect. You can also use anything else you like at the end to add white dots: gel pen, paint marker, white acrylic paint or white gouache. I prefer this method because it lasts over time and won't fade or look less brilliant over time, but if it's not meant for hanging on the wall, get creative! Use toothpaste! There are no rules 💖

@alib2868

I usually use the white gouache or white acrylic paint on a soft toothbrush at the end and have found it works well. If using white acrylic, adding a tiny bit of water helps to make a fine spray.

You can do that too.. but as I've said before, I prefer this method. You can see in my tutorial that I remove the larger dots before I start to paint, acrylic at the end offers no such control.
