Day 6: Final Day Of Oil Paint

Day 6: Today I finished up the nebula oil painting by adding the finishing touches to the piece. This included a final layer of light paint and the stars. For the stars I just dipped the back side of the paint brush into the paint and randomly applied dots wherever I found them necessary. sometimes I would also do light and dark red stars and some light blue ones as well so it wouldn't be boring and all white. I also added one defined star in the middle of the nebula. I did this by adding a larger dot and then dragging it out all four directions to give it a flare look. I also added a lot of small dots on the left side of the nebula to make it look like there is a hole through it and to show how endless space really is. I enjoyed playing around with this piece and I now enjoy more abstract art now, which is probably what my next piece is going to be. I didn't really like how the piece looked until I added the stars which shows that even the smallest addition can really change the whole piece.
