Mountain Galaxy. Painting #28

Mountain Galaxy
Date Painted: June 17, 2017
Size: 11 x 14 canvas

Mountain Galaxy is my 27th painting.

This painting is a variation of Starry Galaxy. I was planning a demo painting to raise money for my office’s holiday party. I had an idea of what to paint but I needed to practice a bit to make sure I could do it from memory. That actual painting will be posted soon. So I did this one on a smaller canvas.

For this one I followed along with Nic Hankins on Twitch. I only followed to make sure I did the sky right.

Here are the colors and equipment used.

Colors

• Black Gesso
• Liquid Clear
• Alizarin Crimson
• Bright Red
• Cadmium Yellow
• Dark Sienna
• Indian Yellow
• Midnight Black
• Phthalo Blue
• Phthalo Green
• Prussian Blue
• Sap Green
• Titanium Hwite
• Yellow Ochre
• Van Dyke Brown

Equipment

• Black Canvas

optional if you don’t want to use the black gesso

• 2 Inch Brush
• 1 Inch Brush
• #6 Fan Brush
• Large Palette Knife
• Script Liner Brush

This one came out great too! I love the way the mountain turned out. The thing I struggled with the most was the splatter to create the stars. I still didn’t get that right. Other than that, I think it looks awesome. It prepped me for the painting to come. This was another popular one that ended up being sold.

I hope you enjoy this painting. Have any questions or comments? Let me know.

Happy Painting!
