I also sponged it in blank areas and this gave depth of deep black in the sky. When you lightly sponge on the mars black it will dull some colors making it look like stars that are further in the distance. I sponged random areas and a few areas over the color. Remember do not overload the sponge with paint. Then I loaded my sponge (clean area) in mars black. Next I found another clean area on my sponge and loaded it with ultramarine blue.Īgain, I sponged the blue fairly close to the white areas and a little over the white. But it is there and it makes a difference! It may only be subtle against that black because dioxazine purple is a dark color. I painted very close to/ next to the white so that the middle parts can still be white and bright. When I sponged on the purple, I put it in the same areas as the white but I didn’t exactly paint over the white. Then I turned my sponge to a clean area and loaded it with dioxazine purple. This is the sky and everything is kind of random and not geometrical. There’s no need to make a uniformed pattern. ![]() Then I lightly sponged the white in other areas letting it run dry on my sponge so the white wasn’t as bright. It’s inconsistent as far as brightness of the white and it’s kind of jagged. When I do galaxies, I like to start off by sponging a diagonal line to represent the milky way. Start by dipping your sponge in titanium white. Just a little! There’s no need to overload the sponge □ To do the galaxy, I used a sponge and the colors titanium white, mars black, dioxazine purple and ultramarine blue. I made a jagged line on both sides just above the water line.Īnd there is the layout for our entire painting!Įverything above the top line is going to be painted as a galaxy. This was slightly above the bottom of the waterfall (estimate about 2-3 fingers from the bottom).įinally I drew the bottom cliff line. Next I made a horizontal line on the bottom for the water line. You do not need to make it exactly symmetrical. This jagged line was done on both sides of the waterfall. They dip down just like the top of the land. I estimated these to be slightly above the center of the canvas. When you draw the vertical lines for the fall, imagine that it is vertical at first but then it opens wide on the bottom. Using those points as a guide, draw a rough line that dips down and then back up to the other point. Those marks will be the highest points of land and everything above will be sky. Draw the layout of the cliffs and waterfall with white chalkĪt the top of the painting, I estimated about four fingers down and made a mark with my chalk. The satin finish will be okay.Īfter painting your canvas black, you’ll want to wait for it to completely dry.Ģ. As stated earlier in this post, if you don’t have Apple Barrel Black, you can use your Mars Black. I used Apple Barrel Black paint because of its matte finish. ![]() I used a large brush (1″ wash) to paint the entire canvas. I did not get a picture of me actually painting my canvas black. There is no traceable for this tutorial! You will be able to easily draw the layout of this painting with chalk (and I’ll guide you through it).
