DIY galaxy painting


Hello!

Today I will be explaining how I made a DIY galaxy for painting beginners. 
This DIY is surprisingly easy and the first thing you should make when starting to paint.


Materials
        . 1 canvas
        . Apple Barrel paints:
          purple, blue, white, and
          black
        . paint brushes & a sponge
        . iridescent gemstones                                                                             (optional)
      .  a toothbrush

       






   First, I covered my canvas in black paint. Next, I applied random colors of paint on my canvas with the sponge. I made sure there was still some black on the canvas. When I finished, I stared at my creation and got worried. It looked too dull. I blended a little white around the corners. Still weird looking. I added white paint onto my toothbrush and spritzed it on the painting. It finally looked     complete! I finally let it dry and then added iridescent gemstones and signed it with my initials.

         Thank you for reading and I hope you will try painting this galaxy!
