It took a great deal of practice, but it's well worth the effort. Thank you once again!

Amazing.

I can already imagine myself travelling close to the speed of light (of course not the speed of light or else I'll turn to energy) towards these galaxies. It must feel wonderful flying through this magnificent universe.^^

Wow! Not only is this an awesome space scene but you used watercolors to create it. I was not aware that you could get this level of detail with this medium. I'm going to study this picture to figure out how you did it.
Awesome job! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! Actually, watercolor has a lot of potential with practice; it's just that the rules are very different than with oils or acrylics. I recommend you lookup "Jody Bergsma", she has done some really imaginative things with watercolor.

The colours look very opaque for watercolour. I love the mix of colours on the left side beside the 'explosion'.

Celeste23forever In reply to SunOwl [2011-10-18 06:03:32 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. You're right about the watercolours. For the dark areas a layered up and pushed the dark tones as far as I could without muddying the painting up.

I like the warm colors in this piece of space art. The galaxy practically glows with the brows, reds, and purples.
