How To Paint A Watercolour Galaxy | Tutorial

[@darshanaanaresh1398]

what colors did you use ?

[@studioofmm]

I believe I used rose madder, indigo, purple lake, ultramarine, phthalo blue, prussian blue and possibly some dioxazine purple in Winsor and Newton Cotman paints.

[@darshanaanaresh1398]

to everyone who's new to painting with watercolors , wet your paper first ! it'll help you 10 times better

[@HopeKreates]

[@missquirky7064]

1:03 She: Look up actual pictures of galaxies... Me: *paints the whole paper black then add white dots* pErFeCt

[@mahinneelo4870]

XD

[@daisyswg]

Same I add purple in the corner and black with huge dots

[@meeeeegha]

🤣

[@whitemage024]

Lol i should do that

[@alimpansarkar2008]

Hfhvghggughhghgyjyyiihihiy

[@ellerose5856]

I watched this video and in the span of 7 hours I have painted 16 different galaxies. My first one was alright and now i’m just progressively getting worse 😂

[@mariaharrison4274]

😂 lmao

[@katiemitchell1676]

That’s a mood

[@ArnesonR]

THIS HAPPENED TO ME.

[@ellislay]

Im doing it on a really big paper and Im so nervous :(

[@thenomadictable8523]

Me too!

[@myuhhh1276]

what if I'm never happy with the result

[@sekhej4309]

I feel ya.

[@soybeans2734]

Well than you try again. When I did it the first time I used swiping motions with my brush and it ended up looking bad but I tried it the second time and it looks pretty good. Not everyone gets it the first time and others don't get it the second time but it doesn't mean that it's okay to just leave it after you realize it's not coming out right

[@hallejenns1425]

It's like you're in my head.

[@evadespotovic7173]

Mya Nichole hahahahah😂😂😂

[@avadohmen790]

same and I haven't even down it yet

[@lucytimms300]

Thanks, I tried this and was really happy with the result. A tip for others trying it: I saturated the paper too much when I laid all of the colour down at first but then found it made a dramatic difference to dry my brush and then soak up some of the watercolour in random areas to create the whiter looking contrast spaces. Before doing that, the depth looked too uniform

[@avengedpoisonromance]

this is way harder than it looks

[@roserousan6411]

Drawing with acrylic paint is easier .. try starting with a black paper and only use dry brushes with the acrylic paints .

[@anonymous_hooman3545]

Nusra Rozely very true I tried it and the colours are very light and pastel and I used the same supplies

[@Ennla]

Yeah so much

[@boysurfs]

That was actually pretty easy to understand.

[@idekanymore1624]

When you look at the painting it looks hard, but when you know how it was painted it sounds simple

[@shaanvis8870]

How do you do that? Mine ends up looking like unicorn barf

[@rizwansaber7559]

LOL HAHAHAHA

[@shabreenbano5694]

Omg! SAME

[@mariaharrison4274]

😂

[@4rcticmonkeys]

FEEL YA!

[@prishat7555]

ya same

[@maskedfoxx7173]

AHHH I'VE BEING TRYING TO PAINT GALAXIES FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND THE REASON WHY I ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE SUBPAR IS BECAUSE I KEPT WETTING THE PAPER AND WORKING ON THE SAME LAYER AND I NEVER GOT THAT EFFECT AROUND THE EDGES YOU ARE A GODSEND

[@KatieKhaotic]

I've been attempting these for so long and I finally made one I'm happy with about three hours ago

[@EpicSteveRS]

i finaly made one im good at drawing but not good at painthing weird

[@eilidhjohnson5694]

I'm the opposite lol

[@syedarizvi89]

Same

[@maheenkh4213]

Same

[@amishadohgra9425]

Same, but I want to try watercolor so badly so that's what I've been doing lately

[@kirenlataquin3840]

same

[@moriahdawnart4133]

Very straightforward and easy to understand. Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! ❤️

[@studioofmm]

You’re welcome! Glad the video helped 😊

[@Jane-id9eo]

I've made a galaxy watercolor before I search for this tutorial and I used a different colors it was black, blue,purle,pink and white I used an old school water color and I only layer it twice .. The result was awesome I never expect it .

[@christophergeorgopulos8687]

wut culur is purle

[@berzerkboy5112]

Christopher Just google it

[@starrynight5207]

dab on some more stars *cough* dabs

[@jaysonbickel671]

I DID THE SAME THING

[@weini7666]

emerald xx yea lmao look at the subtitlesssssss

[@madeline4444]

emerald xx ARMMMYYYYYY

[@stelskii]

stop.

[@swalehtaj1266]

Thats so 2016 *sees comments date* but still its so cringey

[@daantje3271]

Stars always do the magic. All of my galaxy paintings seem so dull until adding these lovely stars. ^- ^

[@eddiebear34]

I think iv watched every galaxy painting on KZbin. this is by far the best. I'm new to watercolor and all I've tried to do so far is Galaxy's. so far only my first attempt really worked. 6 more have went in the bin... I'm getting tearful as I write that.. lol! just a couple of questions.. in the darkest part of that painting, is it black or is it a pure dark blue? and did you wet the paper before starting?

[@studioofmm]

+Eddie Bruce thank you, I'm glad you've found it helpful :) It's just dark blue; I very rarely use black watercolour in my paintings, I find it too harsh and especially in galaxies, it's too desaturated compared to the other colours. I didn't wet the paper first. That doesn't mean you can't though - it'll just give it a different effect.

[@eddiebear34]

Studio of M.M thanks a lot. I'll try again tonight :)

[@silentmouseroni9346]

You can tell she didnt wet the paper cause of how the color looks on the paper. And just go with pure dark blue because it will look nicer

[@vintageperfumista7976]

Eddie Bruce 😆

[@balqis8286]

this is what i call true talent and a true artist! well done it looks amazing

[@misst8632]

done four attempts at this and its just one giant blob of colour that a 3 year old could do 😣 you make it look so easy really appreciate your talent now I see how hard it is, beautiful work well done

[@ichathesleepless]

Thanks alot you helped me on my art test! I never knew or learnt to use watercolor before since I'm always afraid to colour my drawings cause i usually ruin them 🗿 but it turned out well during my art test because of your video. Thanks!

[@brunalais1433]

Hi, come meet my channel about arts 😊

[@iamtheevilone]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial!! Going to make galaxy themed bookmarks, which will be a little more challenging in a smaller area 😂 First one I did looked horrendous, did everything wrong, but now my second one is looking better! Maybe I can fix my first one...like Bob Ross said, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents ;)

[@okietokki]

I believe if you add salt into watercolor while its wet and remove it when dry you can see some star effects.. (correct me if I am wrong .. I just found it online)

[@sailorsalty700]

I was expecting it to be more complicated than it was. You explained it really well too. I knew I was doing something wrong and now I know! Thank you so much!

[@kawaiirorachan2196]

I have a full day of art tomorrow since it's the holidays so this was really helpful and you spoke so clear! x

[@skygeorge3638]

[@jekapinah]

I'm doing a painting with four characters floating on a night sky/in galaxy and I was wondering if you ha e any tips on how to do the background given I have objects in it to colour, too? I'm just really bad with colours and prefer doing sketches only ^^;

[@studioofmm]

+Jeka HIATUS I'd suggest masking the characters out or going around them. If you're using watercolour, masking fluid would be your best friend for this. You could of course just paint around them too but you'd have to be more careful than with masking fluid where you could essentially just paint right over them and then remove the protective barrier. Hope that helps, good luck!

[@jekapinah]

+Studio of M.M There's no masking fluid in my place so that's not an option.. I'll just try with painting around them, then. Thank you :)

[@norie5361]

Hélène l

[@rashmypatwari9718]

my tip is to use a sponge to soak up the really wet parts, it also creates a cool texture.

[@ivanbasketballtips9862]

At first I was like this doesn't look like galaxy and when u stared adding those white stars I was amazed ✨✨✨✨😍😍💖 well I am doing this cause my brothers b-day is coming and I want to give him a card but I just don't search up b-day card so I saw this thank so much for this tutorial!

[@surendramankar6760]

Thank u very much u taught me the simple and easiest painting , it was very simple to understand and now i have drawn it i m feeling soooooooo nice. I had drawn first time but it was tooo much better than my expectations ...... Thank u too much M.M studio

[@adititida]

Hey! Loved the tutorial a lot... I am obsessed with galaxies and now I can paint them too!!! Thanks a ton and I'm totally inspired💜

[@Blueone71]

Thanks I’ll do it at the earliest ✅💜 and i like the blue dark or purple colors and I think I’ll use them.

[@sayumi8889]

So basically used a toothbrush cx. So cool and simple!

[@laxmirai806]

i thought making Galaxy pianting is hard but you make it easy for me "arigatogozamas"😛😜

[@nanabunn7]

Oh my God I God an ad that shows you the basics on how to water color :0

[@kawaiiwolfie1385]

Omg, I needed this sooo much! I'm making my dad a birthday present and I didn't know how to do this, but now I do! Thank you so much!

[@maylyn8993]

This is a great tutorial but what if you want the galaxy background on one of your drawing like use the galaxy for the background for your drawing (Answer pls)

[@studioofmm]

+May Lyn I would suggest that you do the background first and either be careful going around your foreground or actually mask it out with masking fluid. You could do it the opposite way but you'll need to cover up your foreground when splattering on the stars.

[@maylyn8993]

Studio of M.M I am a young artist btw so I don't get what u are saying 😓

[@studioofmm]

+May Lyn basically just be careful going around the parts that you don't want to be galaxy.

[@maylyn8993]

Studio of M.M k thx btw nice vids

[@arishadowweaverthezenwitch3032]

what you can do is cut out a piece of cardboard to fit over the area you want to paint .. it only has to be the outline.. fit it onto the paper where you want this image and fix it on with some wash tape.. ( you can unstickify the wash tape by sticking it to your skin a few times until its not super sticky ).. gently push it in place.. then you can paint around it! ..

[@qtran2004]

I'm slowly loosing my patience as I move on with the layers

[@studioofmm]

+Thanks Obama it'll be worth it in the end!!!

[@tattoorodriguez4464]

Q. Tran that's me right there 😂

[@ur_momssoul6332]

Does your first name happen to be quyhnn?

[@Vincent-ds3kc]

When i do galaxy I don't do so much layers, i just do 2 simple layers of color. Once, they are dry, I wet the whole thing and start with final dark colors so i never need to have patience.

[@hunimsisterstarvingandalso1228]

Dry them with a blow dryer

[@sadhananaik6149]

IT WILL BE HARD FOR ME COZ IM STARTING WATERCOLOUR PAINTING FROM TODAY! HAHA.

[@Dusk1812]

I followed the tutorial, it didn't come out as great as yours (I didn't expect it to, my art skills are sub par lol), but it was heaps better than when I tried following other tutorials. I'm glad my galaxy came out passable, thank you.

[@nicoletiong275]

THAT LOOKS BOOTIFUL!

[@beatolentino1756]

Hello! I'm just gonna ask if its wet on wet??

[@studioofmm]

+Giant Cookie nope but you can definitely do that if you want; I just find it bleeds the colours into each other too much.

[@beatolentino1756]

Oh ok. Thanks!

[@annemarie326]

did you wet your paper first before applying the initial watercolor paints? or did you just start with a dry piece of paper?

[@studioofmm]

+Anne Marie Dougherty dry paper; I find wet on wet makes the colours bleed too much.

[@jiyaaren]

I agree it will

[@bicali_pierfishing1567]

Wow so beautiful watercolor galaxy 🌌 painting 🎨 👍💯 I'm going to try this with my watercolor markers and watercolor paintings

[@Leothfinch]

I used a canvas for mine it worked fine you just have to like splash a little water on it and Then do it from there

[@xjennifervd]

PRETTY'!

[@polygone38]

My galaxy looks like a nose i-

[@marvinmartian8746]

Ha! I wish you could post a photo. Well you know the astronauts say that space smells like seared steak. That's been all over the news lately for some odd reason.

[@TitchTacs]

Seared steak? Ew.

[@sashabudhaiart1186]

thanks for this video! You explained everything so clearly. I just did my own galaxy for a project i was working on and it came out great

[@studioofmm]

+Sasha Illustrates glad it helped you out :)

[@hankcunnington2455]

[@oliakeung7204]

[@studioofmm]

+Ananya Kumar it would if you used a more opaque paint type like acrylic.

Thank you 😊 for teaching me how to draw/paint a galaxy

[@thetwelfthhourartist5980]

Idk If it’s wrong with my paint or other’s face it too , but no matter how dark the shade of the color is, as soon as it bleeds in the water, it just gets super light.

[@rainbarber7657]

I am brand new to watercolors and really wanted to try to do this. Great tutorial.

[@shivanig6404]

This helped me pass Art with a A+ cuz I had to paint smthing creative so I was like galaxy I searched and searched found this and I followed instuctions and it was amazing! TYSM!!! I USED BLUE, PURPLE,MAGENTA,BLACK AND MORE SHADES OF PURPLE AND BLUE!

[@nixthelapin9869]

This is incredibly satisfying to watch

[@khileshjairamdas8410]

Astronomically speaking, this would be more appropriately called a nebula or a nebulous region. Keep up the great tutorials!

[@asma24]

woow thats amazing. I have been watching this video for like 24 hours straight. it's has so much detail. I'll be doing this for my art project. i hope it turns out good for me. wish me luck~ 😋

[@Vincent-ds3kc]

I do my galaxies weirdly, so I first do wet on wet technique, then I would paint the galaxy, and I let it dry. I then wet everything and paint the galaxy, and let it dry, then wet it again. So I repeat that several time (idk why, I think it helps). I then start to do the actual galaxy, so I just make the paper wet again, put really dark colors, once the whole paper is filled with colors, I tap and blend the colors. Lastly, I black and let it try, and put stars. I'm the weirdest painter in the world, but every time, it comes out perfect and it looks like it was a computer made image.

[@xrxFreemanxcx]

Girl, you're amazing!!!!!!!!!

[@kyla7546]

omggg I'm going to try this for my project in school. still hoping for good result 😂 THANK YOU FOR THIS EASY STEPS 💖
