Use a POSCA white paint pen for some larger stars. Simply paint some clusters of smaller circles. You can even make some of them blurry by pressing your finger on the dots and smearing them a bit. If you look at super close up images of the moon, you can also observe craters, little dots and some lines.

You can also use the techniques of this moon painting in other painting projects you may have. Perhaps you want to do a full moon in a landscape or over a body of water.Try to keep it simple! I might have gone too far with the clouds but couldn’t stop myself :-p 10. Some Final Touches Halley says moon water is typically charged both with the energy of the moon and an intention, like: I used my 1/2” filbert(aka oval wash) for the clouds and I did this dry brush style. This means that I didn’t load my brush in any water and only had a little paint on the tip of the brush.

When I paint the moon, I look more at the photo than my painting. It’s a technique that forces you to paint what you see rather than paint what you think you see. If you aren’t intending on drinking the water, you can place the crystals in the jug,” says Halley. Then add your water. You can use any source of water here, whether it's from the tap, or from a nearby river. Just a note: Consider what you might want to use your Moon water for in the future, and choose a water that will fit. If you're using it to water your garden, water from a local river will be fine; if you're using it to remove your makeup, you'll want something cleaner!On your palette, double load your filbert in Payne’s grey and titanium white (about equal parts) to create a light cool gray. By the time you get to the edges, you should have pure phthalo blue. (And whatever tiny bit of white is mixed into it because you didn’t rinse your brush). Tp: while you can paint little clusters of dots everywhere and make it look nice, its suggested to look at a real image of the moon and see where these little white dots (aka craters) show up. I used a 1/2” Filbert brush for this. I found that the round tip of the filbert allowed for softer strokes that were easy to blend. Paint the circle of the moon solid white. Keep that white paint wet because the moon texture will be done with wet on wet blending.

I occasionally offer small releases of clothing, zero waste items, and the natural fabrics that I use and love. Sometimes you can find my work out in the world at local shops, shows or music festivals.
