EASY technique to make a GALAXY SKY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- So how DO you paint a soft, mystical galaxy sky? I have been experimenting and stumbled onto a soft and easy technique that works for creating intense galaxies.
Watercolor painting a galaxy sky doesn't have to be a mystery. It's actually quite simple using a basic watercolor technique. There are a few key points you'll want to remember though - so be sure to check out the video to know where to focus and what to watch out for.
Watercolor is such a fun, relaxing way to pass some time. You don't need any fancy supplies, a simple crayola set works just fine! Use what you have.

Fellow Crafty UA-camr stopping by to say hi! I loved your video, and thank for speaking about how much time and effort it takes for youtubers to bring watchable content to the screen. Love your backgrounds and you energy!
I do appreciate how you took the time to explain how the "hop" was designed to help the new youtubers, and all the different ways we viewers can help (and enjoy!).
I enjoyed watching how you created night sky scene as well. USA
What a wonderful presence you have to talk with us viewers directly (not from the script). I believe you can really teach me something and I won't get bored. USA
Love this tutorial! For one, it's very relaxing to watch someone paint. For 2, you start with nothing, creating a scene and are virtually telling a story.
I really like the colors you chose. You taught me how to layer the colors for depth, paint trees and how the size of them determines the distance to the front of the scene.
You are EXTREMELY TALENTED!!
Stay safe and God bless ❤ XOXO
I am in the USA
Ingrid, I so appreciate your transparency and heart for blossoming UA-camrs. 💕 Great tutorial with a plethora of tips. Thank you for sharing your talents! 🇺🇸
What an inspiration you are , and I will continue to watch you! Thank you and everyone for participating in the hop and inspiring us, especially during this difficult time. Stay safe from the USA!
Thanks for caring about our community! Lovely technique as well. (USA)
Thank you for explaining all the ways us viewers can help all the beautiful crafters on UA-cam! Your skies look amazing! And it's really cool how you made the trees! USA
Always learn new techniques with you! Thanks to you and Justine for doing this to help all of us draw together as a crafty community. (USA)
I love the way you make every level of crafter feel welcome, it’s nice for those of us who don’t have a lot of experience. Cool trees, thanks for sharing, USA.
Oh my heck! I’m addicted to those night skies too. Thanks for showing how to make them. I can’t wait to give it a shot! Thanks for sharing! USA
You have got waaay more patience than I do! It looks great. You figured it out and succeeded. TFS. USA
Thanks for your honest chit chat in the middle of your video! The galaxy background is beautiful and I love the trees! 💖
Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦
I'm in uk, the hop closes on my birthday, so hopefully lick will be on my side. I appreciate your channel, watch you regularly but dont often comment. I love the expression and simplicity of your tutorials.
I have watched your videos for a couple of years now and always learn so much. You truly are an artist. US
Wow, love the galaxy technique with the vibrant water colors, and that white paint really does pull it together. The white gold giveS such a soft and magical effect too. Thanks for another awesome tutorial. I’m in USA
Not only did I love your project, but I loved what you said about being a UA-camr! :) my daughter lives art and we are definitely going to try this for ‘art class’ while we are leaning at home. TFS
This was very inspiring, and I will give it ago! The way you broke it down into bite size pieces and showed us each step, made me realize that I can do this! You have a wonderful way of teaching Ingrid. Thanks so much and stay well:-)
I've been watching your painting videos for a while and thoroughly enjoy your teaching. Thank you for sharing your process and experience. Best wishes for health and safety. Cheers from Canada!
FANTASTIC tutorial Ingrid and I love your inspiring conversation with your viewers!! Hugs sweetheart!! USA
I love how you talk us thru everything that you did. Thanks for sharing.
What a BEAUTIFUL SCENE! I love the colors and the tips on painting the trees! So helpful and instructional! THANK YOU USA
This hop is a good idea. What a great way to get introduced to new artists/crafters.
love the watercolour technique - I am always hesitant in wasting paper - without understanding the explanation for me where to start. great job. cheers from Canada
I'm in U.S. Very cute card. Wow, cant' wait to try this. Stay well, stay home and craft
I adore all galaxy and Northern Lights tutorials! Since I live in Alaska, I see the real thing! I have to say, the only thing usually missing in Northern Lights tutorials is the color green! We see "curtains" of reds, greens and yellow Northern Lights here. It's something you never forget when you see it! I've done a few cards with a galaxy look but still don't quite get that look! I appreciate your teaching style! Thank you! (USA)
Gorgeous galaxy skies and wonderful tips to achieve successful results. You created such beautiful cards. USA
I have never used watercolors before, you make it look so easy. Galaxies are one of mine favorite night scenes, what fantastic cards they would make-US / Florida
It was nice to see you Ingrid! It’s also good to get a glimpse of your workspace! I love the end results! Australia
Your videos are great. I can see you put your heart into them. Thank you for the words of encouragement to growing UA-camrs. ❤️
I would normally avoid trying something like your watercolor night sky because I've had too many failed attempts in the past. But your instructions were clear and simplified, and your words of encouragement throughout the video have given me courage to get out my watercolors and practice the techniques you demonstrated. Thanks, Ingrid.
I forgot to add that I'm in the USA.
I want to be you when I grow up! Your painting is beautiful and the instructions are so clear! Thanks! I’m in the USA.
Hello from Louisiana! Thanks for sharing these awesome techniques. I love watercoloring and I can’t wait to try this beautiful night sky 💕😊
Ingrid, that for the night sky tutorial, this is an effect that I have been interested in attaining. I really love the trees, too. Beautiful, and attainable! USA.
Beautiful galaxy skies and you are so real in your delivery. Great instruction !
Hello from KY, USA - Hi Ingrid ... I have been watching you for a while and you can always make me chuckle! Thank you for sharing this video. Looking forward to continuing learning new techniques with you! Love the night sky and trees today ... stunning!!

Hi from an addict to another! I just love,love,love creating skies to my cards. Galaxies, Northern Lights, sunrise, sunset - you name it. I've been practising a lot and I'm slowly getting there. I got many tips from your video, thank you for that. I'm international (Finland)
Beautiful water color sky’s, I just love trying to make them myself and I love how you explained how to make them and how to add the trees to the scene. Thank you so much for sharing 😊, USA

USA
This is fun!! I don’t feel confident enough yet. Cassie Trask did something beautiful making a galaxy background...she also said while doing it that it gets worse before it gets better! You all are so creative!!! reminds me of my son’s Astro photography with the trees. I’ll get there. I love the inspiration here! No intention here of making videos. I work full time & run an animal shelter. I’m in the USA 🇺🇸
I liked the tree perspective and adding water to remove the color. Thank you for sharing. USA
Those are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Canada 🇨🇦. Sending hearts to all.
Love your infectious (wrong word to use at this time?!) attitude. Your sky scenes are amazing. You make it look so easy. USA
Oh wow! So many brilliant tips! During lockdown I'm trying to get to grips with watercolour, and your video has been such an inspiration! This scene of the trees silhouetted against the galaxy is absolutely stunning (and I never use that word lightly!) Thank you, also, for explaining how UA-cam works and how we can help. Thank you again, and stay well! x (International - UK)
