Watercolor GALAXY with stars EASY STEP BY STEP - seascape for beginners

This is and easy step by step tutorial with voice over for beginners.
Simple galaxy painting with stars, silhouette of mountains and a little sailboat. I decided to divide it into half and make it a seascape - as seascapes are one of my favorite things to paint.

Even the palette is a work of art.........I'm away to cry in a corner

[@MarenaART]

ha ha ha... Thank you!

[@user-yj8fc5db1d]

your tutorials are done very fast but I love them.

[@TwoCatsCH]

Great!

[@MarenaART]

Thanks!

[@ivychicken]

I did this one today! Thank you so much for an amazing tutorial! I am such a beginner when it comes to watercolour painting, but I've attempted several of your tutorials now and they give me confidence to keep learning and trying. The end result always surprises me! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@MarenaART]

Oh, that's wonderful! Thank you. I am sure you can do whatever you put your mind too.❤

[@djshepard4243]

Today I tried this painting

[@aya6631]

I don't understand why the good paintings get less than 1k views and the bad paintings get more. You deserve more views than those videos.

[@MarenaART]

:) Thank you so much! I can`t tell you how much that comment means to me. I guess YT algorithm doesn`t watch videos. :)

[@agnieszka20005]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was real pleasure to paint it with you

[@erinjoy377]

Thank-you! I followed along while you created this & it’s actually one of the paintings I’ve created that I’m most proud of! 💕 I will say: I struggled with the sailboat ⛵️ & it’s reflection in the water, lol I came back to revisit and rewatch as I want to try it again… Always a work in progress! I wish there was a way to post our work for you to view

[@kraked_nutz]

Its simple and easy but very beautiful, hats-off to your efforts....

[@iloveleannav]

Thank you so much for this tutorial and all the other tutorials. I feel I have watch all your videos in the past week. I tried to recreate this painting and it was looking terrible. However, right when I was about to throw in the garbage I decided to finish it till the end. I'm so glad I did because I was pleasantly surprised with the end result. This reminded me never to give up no matter how bad it looks. Thank you so much for all your videos they are very helpful and very fun to watch. Sending lots of love and good vibes. 💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹😎😎

[@MarenaART]

It is so great that you decided to finish it. I believe most paintings go through ugly stage where we hate how they look. But once you pass that, magic happens. Good for you. :)

[@MarenaART]

Thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate that a lot. :)

[@foodisnice2913]

You are right I tried it with just a little thick paper and a normal set of water colors and it is way to wet. Not great but maybe next time I can get the amazing result you had with better materials lol

[@sumedhaj9017]

Really good painting with really good explanation!

[@MarenaART]

Thanks a lot! I am glad you think so. :)

[@PencilDrawingAcademy]

Nice video.keep it up

[@MarenaART]

Thank you!

[@debrabartman6749]

Thank you for the video. I got the sailboat too low on the scene. Might need to try it again. It was fun to try this scene.

[@MarenaART]

Glad you enjoyed it! And, of course, give it one more go. It is great if you can spot your mistake and know where you can improve your painting. :)

[@MsDF936]

Beautiful! If you don't have gauche paint, could you use white acrylic for the stars?

[@MarenaART]

Sure. Any opaque paints.

[@purpleskyyy1]

*this is soo beautiful ^^ I tired it and it turned out well but I guess I used paint more than I need so mine is not transparent as yours :D*

[@MarenaART]

Could be! :) Some paints are also little bit less and some little bit more transparent.

[@angelrespino1994]

I'm going to make this one❤ Can you make NOTHERN LIGHTS too please🌌

[@MarenaART]

Glad you like it! I will, definitely. :)

[@shubhampaul6088]

Where you keep all your legendary paintings

[@MarenaART]

:)

[@18thdandelion]

I tried to paint this, but ended up having a red ring around the yellow centre that I didn't know how to blend away:( I also smudged the sail boat! The black paint sort of bled into the paper as I was trying to paint it.

[@MarenaART]

It sounds to me like the paper dried while you painted background and was too wet when painting a boat. If you decide to paint it again, just be careful with that. I am sure it will look awesome.❤

[@18thdandelion]

@@MarenaART Thank you for taking the time to reply! :) Yes I would like to try again. Thanks for your advice and stay safe!

[@18thdandelion]

Hello @UCuHC7FWupU6OUziAXKZ_2wA Because of your advice, I tried again and did it! Nowhere near as pretty as yours but it looked better than my first round. Thank you for your encouragement!

[@mahasamir6990]

thanks for posting this video I have a question please what is the white color you used? is it water color white or something else?

[@MarenaART]

It is white gouache, yes. I usually use it for stars. :)

[@elisabet1138]

Can I ask which brush you used to paint the sailboat, if you remember? I'm struggling to find one that is long and small enough to get those details :)

[@MarenaART]

That is some no name brush I got long long time ago. I do not remember at all. It is a synthetic brush, though.

[@hazimhammed3215]

Can you list what colour you use

[@MarenaART]

They are all listed in description. :)
