[@wetcoastclan]

@@WildCreates Okay, so...first attempt was just that, a first attempt, and isn't worthy of sharing. BUT, I think I already figured out a few of the things I did wrong (waaaay too much paint to start, primarily), so I will keep at it. I do have one question: for oil, would you use Liquid Clear on the canvas, or not? I didn't (since you didn't mention it in the video and i thought what it would smear), but wanted to check. Thank you, as always!

[@WildCreates]

For LC you can use it or not - BOTH will have different feels and affects. When you add LC it will make your paints more transparent allowing other colors to pull forward or show through.

[@Apophian93]

This is super helpful! I see what you mean y "over blending! My first attempt was looking really good, and then I went just several dozen dabs too much and the colors no longerstamd apart, but have blended into a new color and look flat. Thanks for the tips, I'm going to keep trying!

[@WildCreates]

Glad it was helpful! Keeping the contrast in colors and in light to dark will really make it pop.

[@CaptainFutureman]

Very nice! I love painting nebulae, and I have found that you can easily add a lot of depth and richness (and realism!) by using a thin glaze or two. If the highlights get knocked back too much, just subtly add a bit more white to the strongest highlights.

Bram has great stuff - This one might be a little easier to start with. Then when you get the basics. Try painting Bram's again. They trick is... to go a little slow, create contrast & form the edges.

By any chance, do you know if this can be done in Gouache?

Yes it can be BUT it will have to be done in stages due to the drying time differences. I say paint it twice... the 1st round will be more of a test to see how everything reacts. This way you will have a better understanding Good luck.

I'm not sure if you will get to read this but I love your videos. I grew up watching Bob Ross and he inspired me to paint and all of your videos have helped me become better. Thank you so much. I would like to try this one but wanted to ask if you might have a tutorial of this but with oil paint? It's all I have. I covered the back in a permanent black liquid acrylic paint and allowed it to dry.

[@WildCreates]

You are very welcome and I am glad that my videos are helping you out. I dont have a nebula video with oil yet ( but I plan on making one ) The good news is, its basically the same step ( just use less paint to start with )

[@6pea6nut6]

@@WildCreates it would be wonderful to see you do one. I can't deny I've had some really great paintings but I tried this with oil and it was my first nebula. . I failed lol so I made it into something else. But I would love to try again. And. . . Your really cute 😂 so sorry. It had to be said.

[@WildCreates]

My tip is - Paint it again BUT go slower, use a little less paint and pay attention to what colors you use ( transparent, semi, opaque ) all have different effects on colors. OH and ummmm dont forget the wine... wine helps every painting be 100x better ( trust me 🙂 ) I am not only cute BUT very handsome with a great head of hair and a velvet voice that wont quit.... AND dont forget HUMBLE... I am very humble 😂😂😂

[@WildCreates]

Just make do with what you have until you get more brushes.

[@grahamcrackergameryt]

Ryan @3:47 you state to take a mixture of water and paint. If I am doing this with oil am I adding liquid white to the titanium white, or am I taking an acrylic white and mixing water to add my stars? Or are both methods acceptable? Any tutorial vids on how to achieve this effect?

[@WildCreates]

If you are paint with only acrylics = Mix your white paint with a little water til it becomes a creamy liquid state For oil painting only: just use liquid white or mix any white with a oil medium til you get a soft creamy liquid. Both of these will for great for making stars. I hope that helps!

[@carlsong5182]

Hey would this pain blending works the same on brass surfaces?😅not a painting person myself

[@WildCreates]

I am not sure - never painted on brass. Acrylic paint is basically liquid plastic so It easily could BUT I would reccomend priming the surface first

[@drewkeddington9835]

How to clean my pc mat after coloring cause some acrylics fell 😅

[@WildCreates]

Dawn dish soap, warm water, and a soft brush 🔥

[@DzyxAsZ]

Fantastic painting. Would this be possible with oils? I don't have acrylic paint :/ I guess it would be difficult to layer with oils without over-blending.

[@WildCreates]

100% You can... the trick is to start with a lot less paint and build up. If you notice you are mud mixing too much stop for the day and continue on the next day. This will let the paint to tacky up.

[@DzyxAsZ]

@@WildCreates Would you suggest to cover canvas with "liquid clear" before starting?

[@Keldras86]

Are all colors actually painted "wet in wet" without drying between the different steps? I'm a total newbie to paintings and just don't know better. Thanks in advance. :)

[@WildCreates]

This is done with acrylics - so some layers start drying right away. The over layers are done wet with what is called glazing. Here is a video that explains what glazing it so you have aa better understanding: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6KkaKJsrc94rs0

[@iluvericidle]

Two questions. 1) Can this be done with latex paint? and 2) I'm redoing my room in a sci-fi, outer space theme. I'm painting the ceiling black and sticking high res photos of nebulae onto it. Then I'm having Lowe's pull the green shade out of the photos for my walls. But I'm worried that the line between black and green will be too harsh. Any recommendations for softening that transition?

[@WildCreates]

To be honest I haven't tried it with latex paint... I am sure it is possible... just may require more time and working in smaller sections. The best advice I can give is TEST IT FIRST. If I were you, buy a 2x2 foot sheet of MDF or Drywall ( should only cost only a few bucks ). Then paint it black and test the colors on top of it. Then you can hold it up and move it around to see how it will look in different spots. As for the soft transitions. This will be tough with latex paint if you are not experienced. Generally air brushing on walls/ceiling is best ( but can be expensive ). I would recommend for a beginner use the "dry brush blending" technique ( look it up on YT ) - This will help blend and create better transitions. I hope that helps - Would love to see it when its all done.

[@cosmos2015]

Can you also use water color?

[@WildCreates]

You could BUT the approach would be way different. I don't work much in watercolor so you might want to find channel that does nebulas in that medium.

[@WildCreates]

Without knowing - it kinda sounds like you may be using transparent or semi-transparent paint. Which with show the canvas underneath when drying f you don't layer. I kinda explain it in this video below... see if that helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYfdaIqporqmp7c

[@Mina-cs9eq]

I love how it looks and the process looked easy, but I definitely failed. Everything just looks flat. Yes colors pop, but I have no depth... I guess for this knowing how to paint clouds is a benefit😅

[@WildCreates]

If it looks flat... that generally means you killed all the contrast. Make sure not eliminate all the black and to have bright colors next to some rich dark ones... That should help a lot.
