How To Paint A Watercolor Galaxy (EASY)

[@sarahmoore2807]

Your videos are very easy to follow and I love that you don’t have any crazy supplies or a fancy setup. Not that that is a bad thing, but it’s refreshing to see someone using similar supplies as me in a casual setup. I’ve only just started my watercolor journey so this is very encouraging!

[@AmayaJade]

Thanks so much, glad it helped!

[@sadafrazzak8253]

Your voice is so calming and how you explain and do it without skipping any steps is amazing. This is the first time I’ve created a good galaxy, thank you!!!!

[@AmayaJade]

I’m so glad it helped!

[@TheKayaker71]

I'm impressed. I've seen probably 100 or more galaxy paintings and painted a couple dozen of my own ... and the way you teach how you've created your galaxies is not only easy to follow, but produces great results. I especially your 'star work' on the second painting in your portfolio ... those particular stars seem to have been very specifically placed and the effect is stunning, in my opinion - finally a new approach just when I need a creative diversion from a huge W.I.P.. ...you KNOW I'm off to your channel to see if that painting has a tutorial ... who knows, maybe my scientist hunny will let me change out that first horrible, acrylic galaxy I did, which he insists hang over our bed! ( this is of course after he explained it isn't a real existing galaxy ... I said 'prove it' , He can't - despite teaching astronomy and exoplanet sciences and it isn't often this artist wins a science debate with the in-house scientist. LoL) Have a great day & a better New Year.

Sue Potter thank you so much!

[@elizabethgutierez5614]

Thank you for sharing! I’ve been experimenting with watercolors a lot lately (my go to art has been mandalas and zentangle) and I really want to paint my own galaxy now!

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

So nice to see you painting in real time and thanks for the useful info! This is exactly what I was looking for. Your galaxy turned out beautiful!

[@mitsuntsun1716]

Thank you so much! I´ve been watching a lot of galaxy painting tutorials and always failed and can´t understand how their technics works. Your video is easy to follow and it´s quit fun! (I am waiting at the moment, that my colors are drying, so I can move on :D) Thank you for sharing your art and technics!

[@leilanidelgado1519]

omg thank you for this also , the paint set i have has all of those colors black violet ultramarine cobalt blue and cerulean blue

You just got yourself a new subscriber. I had seen many different watercolor Galaxy paintings but yours is very well detailed and very informative thank you so much for posting content that is helpful.

[@cyndiegran]

This is fun. Thanks for the encouragement to try something different. I can't wait to teach this to my grandsons!

[@elemeniah]

Wow, it turned out absolutely amaZing....great tutorial!!! TFS..

[@AmayaJade]

Lorna yeah, I love adding the stars!

[@dariagurevskaia7598]

I think this is one of the best tutorials on this topic👍👍👍

[@AmayaJade]

Thank you!

[@JackSpellerberg]

I'm trying to learn watercolor painting and have watched so SO many videos about painting Galaxy/Nebulas but it's rare to see one in real time and with an explanation about what you are doing. Thank you for making this..it helped a lot! Also, it's very beautiful!

[@AmayaJade]

Jack Spellerberg I’m so glad it helped!

[@tiyashabiswas3967]

Tiyasha Biswas Thank you!

[@susanbaker3078]

Thanks, this was fun and helpful. Will definitely give it a try! I even have some neon wc paints to play with. What fun!!! 🎆💙

[@sriyasinha4638]

Hey there, Thank you so much for uploading this video! I had a school project in which I had to paint anything ( literally anything ) on a big piece of chart paper.. And I was wondering what to draw because it was so big,.. I guess drawing a galaxy will be easy and less-time consuming and it will look nice too.. I am not sure whether it will turn out good on chart paper or not but I will give it a try . ..

[@lexsan6432]

That was a really good video ^^. I've been having trouble trying to do galaxies and I think I'll be able to do it better now. Great Work. Keep it Up.

[@AmayaJade]

Lex San thank you so much! Glad it helped (:

[@karma69antrax29]

this video definitely helped me, thanks👏🎨

[@yashibaranwal4507]

Marvellous! Please paint a red orange galaxy.

[@TheMeanDM]

Just starting my watercolor journey and I am fascinated by the galaxies! You have the exact same paper I have...but my problem when I went to play around, is that even when taped down, it would really buckle alot and cause pools. I really didnt think I was using a TON of water, and now that I have seen your tutorial, I see that you did use a ton of water! How are you avoiding the buckling/bubbling of the paper?

[@AmayaJade]

TheMeanDM Even when the paper is taped down it will still buckle when wet. It should flatten out almost completely once it dries though. Maybe try using different tape? Let me know if you still need help (:

[@xorben1981]

This is some great Work! Thanks for the Video! Can you Imagine to add a Planet to the foreground?

[@lauriehurrell-shiel200]

Thank you for doing this in real time

[@uhyes8699]

This is an amazing video!! I just wanted to know if card or normal paper will work because I don’t have watercolour paper?

[@AmayaJade]

You really need watercolor paper because of how much water is used & all the layering. You could try it on card stock though, just make sure to tape it down to prevent the paper from warping as much (:

[@zaynatareque1871]

Amazing...I just loved it♥️♥️

[@AmayaJade]

Great video and also real time that makes a TOTAL beginner how colours react with eachother! PS: is it just me or the video is missing a good portion of sound?

Around 8:41 was that wet on wet? I couldn't tell. I love how you're just using every day stuff and come up with the best galaxy painting on youtube!

[@SheXyShellyMarie]

It would have been nice for you to say what colors you were using for each step.

[@Jasonholloway77]

Great job!

[@kash.filmss]

You are great!! Hey can you tell me which editor you use??

[@AmayaJade]

Adobe Premiere Pro!

[@kash.filmss]

@@AmayaJade I can't find it in Playstore can you please give me the link??

[@AmayaJade]

You can only use premiere pro on a computer but there’s an app called Adobe Premiere Rush if that helps you!

[@hal6562]

I'm not sure if you noticed, but you have an audio problem about halfway thorugh. It's still obvious what your doing, so it's still a helpful tutorial. But I don't see many comments about it. I'm playing on speaker, so it's not a headphones issue.

[@tesorosenpapel]

So lovely!! Amazing!

[@palanisamypalanisamy7660]

Wow😱 awesome

[@KunPippY]

Dear @Amaya how do I do the second layer and more layers after the first one is dry. Do I go with the whole water all over ? Mine became smudged

[@tattben1207]

Amazing awesome. Job well done

[@greenlikeslime7354]

Great art

[@AmayaJade]

[@ericktheking123]

I have the same watercolor paper

[@WooshaBaloo]

Brilliant

[@antaramitra8210]

I just have cobalt blue and Prussian blue... Can this be done with only those?

[@antaramitra8210]

And also black and mauve...

[@AmayaJade]

Of course! I love using Prussian blue around the edges to darken it up (you can mix a little black in it to add more contrast.) Cobalt blue watered down slightly will be great for the lighter areas!

[@antaramitra8210]

@@AmayaJade thank you so much! I was really worried as I didn't have some of the blues. I loved your tutorial and thank you so much. It really helps as no one here provides good explanation of galaxy painting. You are really talented... Keep up the good work 😊❤️

[@metalbunnE]

Hi I was wondering why you prefer acrylic for the stars instead of Gouache. Does it matter? I heard you shouldn't paint over or under watercolor with acrylic. Idk why it would matter I feel like it would be okay... I am wondering before I decide to buy Gouache since I already have a lot of white acrylic...?

[@AmayaJade]

White acrylic paint is definitely fine to use! Gouache would also work but at this time I didn’t have any. 😊

its regular paper your using right?

Jungkook Canson watercolor paper

@@AmayaJade will it work on drawing block ?

[@gjool09]

i mean like, i have an art test tomorrow and i wanna make a galaxy painting but the paper i have to use are from the school and im not allowed to bring watercolor paper,so i was wondering how can i do a water blending galaxy (like most people do) if im only using DRAWING BLOCK,which is like regular paper 😔

[@AmayaJade]

Jungkook You can definitely try it. Use a lot less water and you might want to tape off the edges to try and minimize the warping. (Remove some of the stickiness of the tape before taping it down so the paper doesn’t rip). It’s going to look different than other watercolor galaxies because of the texture of the paper. It’s also going to take longer for the paper to dry completely so wait a little before you add the stars. I’m sure you can make it work (:

I can't hear it either

[@brookef5392]

Love it! I am also using canson paper but no matter what I cant keep the paper from warping! what do you do to stop the warping? I am taping it down

[@AmayaJade]

brooke f Maybe try using less water? It shouldn’t being warping if you have it taped down. After your first layer of paint, let it dry completely before adding another layer, it should flatten once it dries.

[@rupendrabhanushukla1007]

Correct

[@khalid7728]

That was nothing but easy , thanks though

[@Wendyvoets21]

Love this video. It looks so simple but when i want to make a galaxy it looks so ugly. Maybe this video will help me next time

[@WooshaBaloo]

What happened to the audio?

[@OneWord1990]

Is the sound supposed to stop at 7 minutes and only come back after she finished painting? It's a little annoying to miss the spoken instructions
