Mix black and blue watercolor paints to create a dark base for your galaxy background. Apply the paint using a flat brush. 4. While the paint is still wet, add drops of purple and pink paint to create the galaxy effect. Use a round brush to blend the colors together. 5. Let the background dry completely. 6. Using white watercolor paint, add stars and small dots to the galaxy using a small round brush. 7. Once the stars are dry, use a white gel pen to add additional details and highlights. 8. Let your painting dry completely before removing the masking tape. 9. Frame your artwork or display it as desired.
