I really like this piece a lot. You've done an amazing job with the colors and overall composition. When I saw the thumbnail, I was immediately drawn in and had to take a closer look! I like that you took more of a loose approach with the watercolors instead of being extremely neat. it gives this a lovely playful twist.

Thank you!! Β I love the spontaneity of watercolor and have a hard time being loose sometimes - I'm glad you found trace of it in this piece!

I always appreciate this type of artwork where everything is attempted, even if not executed perfectly. Very nice composition and lighting overall, it looks great as a thumbnail. Watercolor is a very versatile medium, and I feel like the universe portion could have been done better. There are too many speckles throughout, its made up of soft ranges of black, blues, and purples with clusters of galaxies here and there that subtly reveal themselves to the eye. It looks as if there are a series of Extremely bright stars throughout this piece and for them to be like that, they would have to be very close which is not ideal. A layer of dark paint covering this, repeating the process, etc. Would give a very nice sense of depth that would really impact the rest of the painting, because it seems that the bottom left is dropping of into endless space. That would be very cool. I love the way you painted the rest, the colors, and especially the little white speckles in the woman.Β
