Coming back home from my vacations, I saw the starry sky and I thought, "I'll try to paint that." This is one of the paintings I did during my trip. I'll be posting the rest of them soon. Hope you like it
Pentel watercolors; Uni Posca poster color;
Drawn on Carnet de Voyage 6''x10'', Arches paper, 300g/m².
Amazing! How did you make the stars look so natural and glowy? I find whenever I do watercolours all the white parts turn into a huge mess, even if I use tape or masking fluid >.<
Have you ever tried Posca poster color markers? that's what I used to do the stars. They're water based so they mix with watercolors I first touched the marker on the surface of the wet watercolor painting to do the brightness of the stars, and then when the watercolor was fully dried I did it again. They're really great because they mark over any surface so I also use them sometimes to correct errors on my watercolor paintings.
Hmm, no, I haven't! Are these Posca markers worth purchasing? Ah, that's a really good idea, I'd love to try that out sometime - I love to include a nice starry sky in a great deal of my paintings. C: Thanks for the suggestion!
Yes definitely! Besides being a great complement to watercolor, and traditional art in general, they're cheap, something like $4-7 each depending on where you live. Since you want to do stars, I'd recommend you trying out the white one (PC-5M is the Posca type I used here, it's round-pointed). If you get along with it you could more effects with different colors You're welcome
