Such a beauty from Nic! I had such a relaxing afternoon painting this one. The colors in my sky lost their vibrancy. The black gesso issue… again. 😡 I used Bob Ross’s canvas & gesso. Once it’s dry, I’ll add some yellow and crimson over the areas that are duller.

Still looks great!

Very beautiful

Super very beautiful N👍✌️

Great job!. Have you tried paint with higher pigmentation? I always use the better crimson for such scenes.

WOW !

Oh I've got to try this one, its gorgeous. Yellow over black, grrrr. I love your version of this painting, the galaxy is lovely, it speaks for itself, but what I like the most is the way you've done the foreground with that layer of rich earthy tones. I can imagine standing there for a long time taking in the view.

Superb Nancy, so well painted, cheers

Very nice and your problem with the black gesso sounds familiar.

Superb Nancy!Love the night sky..wonderful reflections!

Super work ,Nancy 👍🏼🇩🇪

Spectacular!

galaxy paintings are in vogue haha! I've started one myself. very fun to do, and beautiful. This one is especially lovely.

Good one, Nancy!
I like how the reddish brown tones from the sky come back not only in the reflections but also on the land, in the dirt and bushes.

So very beautiful!!

I appreciate that a lot Bob! 😊

Thank you Dee! 😃

Thank you super much B! 🤗

Thank you much Tom. You know, I have not tried yet the higher pigmentation crimson. But for a while, I didn't have any issues at all. I am beyond confused with this whole crap! Lol! But I will get a different crimson with more pigmentation for sure.

Glad you like Nobodyhome! 😊

Thank you very much TLP! You def have to try this one. It's not that hard and the effects are spectacular. Can't wait to see your version! 😃

Many thx Dave! 😊

Thank you bunchy Jeff! Galaxies make a spectacular effect on canvas. Can't wait to see what you come up with my friend! 😊

Thank you much Titia! You have a super eye for those little details! That reddish color really ties in it more together and is more pleasing for the eye for sure!

Elsie!!! 🤗 Thank you my friend!

Idk, I think it looks great just the way it is. Awesome painting. You got skills!!!

This is so beautiful! I tried this one a few weeks ago and I can’t get the sky to be vibrant… I’m at such a loss what to do. My version is so dull … any tips?
