Day 2: Today I started the colors in the painting. I had to pre-mix my colors to get the tones right. I used the glaze to make the paint more cloud like. Im doing this because to make the cloud type look more realistic the clouds have to look more opaque. The glaze does that well because it makes the paint clearer but doesn't remove all the color. I have also down sized too a smaller horse hair brush too get in more detail.Im trying not to use too much white paint because I think that the light coming from the inside of the nebula will be better represented by the white of the canvas. I have also darkened the corners to start a base for the contrast of the bright nebula and dark outer space. Ive been having trouble getting the right color of blue for the bottom left corner of the nebula but I am going to keep working on it till it looks right. Im having a similar problem with the right side of the nebula. The color of purple that is in the photo is proving to be difficult to find but i'm continuing to look for it.
