I started the idea for his project by scrolling for water color project ideas on Tumblr. I love using water color and had been using the clay wheel with water color so I wanted something different to do. I came across a picture that looked similar to mine. To make, I first experimented with watercolor and salt. I actually made like 20 different pages of water color to experiment with the mixing of water color and salt. I went through my many pages of water color and chose the blue-purple- salt one pictured. To make the planet itself, I just cut the circle out of the water color page. To draw the black, I used a calligraphy pen. I practiced drawing the girl and the lines and stars to know what worked and what didn't. Once I was satisfied with how to draw everything, I used a pencil to outline everything. Once I had it how I wanted it, I went over the pencil with calligraphy pen. And it was then complete! I learned a lot through this project. I discovered more about manipulating watercolor, using salt in watercolor, and drawing abstract figures. I'm really happy with how this project turned out. My sister liked it so much; she is hanging it in her room! I love how the girl turned out and all the little stars. I can't wait to continue my exploration into watercolor.
