We’ve been having a bit of a space week this week. We had a yummy galaxy milkshake for dessert at dinner one day, and now we are making galaxy paintings. EC came home from school last term and wanted to practice doing a sponging technique they had been learning while making clouds in art class. I thought it would be a great chance to have another go while making galaxy pictures.
Make sure you follow my painting board on Pinterest for more ideas. Don’t forget to save the pin for later.
The great thing about doing a galaxy painting is that you can’t go wrong. If you feel that you have made a mistake you can just go over it again with another colour.
This is all about adding layers. Once you have your colours on, sponge black over it to dull the colour. Then reapply the colour on top. Keep repeating this until you are satisfied with what you have.
Finally use the paintbrush to flick white paint across it.
As I said, you can’t go wrong. EC decided to change part of his galaxy painting halfway through, so added more black in certain areas. I think they all turned out pretty well actually. Even BB got involved in the painting, although he didn’t stay for long. He was in a flitting mood when we did this.
