You are blending clouds of colour on a dark ground, then adding stars. There is no drawing to get wrong.<\/p>\n<h2>The three steps<\/h2>\n<p>Cover the canvas in black or deep navy. While it is wet, press purple, blue, and a little pink in separate clouds and soften the edges with a dry brush. Let that set. Stars are the last five minutes: a small brush, a toothbrush flick, or a fingertip of white.<\/p>\n<p>Too many stars make it look like noise. Leave some dark sky.<\/p>\n<h2>Ways to vary it<\/h2>\n<p>A moon on top of the galaxy turns it into a night-sky painting. A couple can paint two canvases with different nebula colours. Halloween groups can keep the palette purple and black. The steps do not change.<\/p>\n<h2>Supplies<\/h2>\n<p>You need black, purple, blue, a touch of pink or white, and a wide brush plus something small for stars. Paper towels matter more than extra colours. Blending is the skill, and it is mostly wiping.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theimaginationhive.com\/paint-nights\">Host your own paint night at The Imagination Hive<\/a> in Milton, Ontario.<\/p>\n<h2>More paint night ideas<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theimaginationhive.com\/shop\/paint-night-ideas\/\">Paint Night Ideas for Beginners<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theimaginationhive.com\/shop\/paint-night-themes\/\">Paint Night Themes You Can Finish in Two Hours<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theimaginationhive.com\/shop\/couples-paint-night-ideas\/\">Couples Paint Night Ideas<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theimaginationhive.com\/shop\/halloween-paint-night-ideas\/\">Halloween Paint Night Ideas<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theimaginationhive.com\/shop\/winter-paint-night-ideas\/\">Winter Paint Night Ideas<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Galaxy paint night ideas with three steps: a dark ground, soft colour clouds, and stars added last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":95116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-paint-nights"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.2.1 -
