Watercolor Galaxies

4th Grade began by learning about watercolor techniques! We learned 7 different techniques that give different effects when using watercolors.

For the first step, we did lighter washes. These are the galaxies after their first day of watercolors.


The next day we added more saturated colors and then added the black around the outside. Here they decided what shape their galaxies would be! We could finally see them taking shape!








Once they completed their galaxies, we added paint splatters with white paint. This gave the appearance of thousands of stars!


Finished! This was such a fun project! I love how each galaxy looks unique.






















Keep Creating!
