Wish on a Star

I painted this cute little piece on a canvas as you may have noticed. I made a galaxy background with a shooting star streaking through the sky. For the star and its tail, I cut out a piece of regular printer paper in those shapes and taped them loosely to the canvas so I wouldn’t damage it. I would suggest using Elmer’s tape or any other tape that doesn’t stick. It’s pretty simple. By the way, this is a piece that I came up with, so you probably won’t find this on the internet. I had fun using a foam brush to play around with the different colors in the background, and added a touch of glitter along the edges. Even though I used watercolor, I would still say that acrylic paint would be the best choice. When I was doing this, I probably should have been more careful with the amount of water that I used, because I have a few stains here and there. I don’t think I should have tried to use the black paint either, because I also have a muddy patch or two. But if you use acrylic paint to do this, I would suggest using a thicker paper to paint around. Thanks for checking out my latest post!
