Click here (bit.ly/2n8ZFLt) to get your exclusive 7 day free trial to GraphicStock, and let's paint a space scene inspired by the TRAPPIST-1 star system!

I’m painting on a 12x16-inch stretched canvas, but you can paint on any type and size of canvas you like.

I used this reference image from GraphicStock: bit.ly/2mZFz7b

I used:
• A 1-inch flat brush
• A 1/2-inch flat brush
• My small cloud brush (but any kind of brush you use for scrubbing is fine!)
• A 1/4-inch filbert
• A ruler
• Chalk
• Matte Medium (completely optional, but highly recommended)

I’m using Liquitex Basics acrylic paint in the following colors:
• Mars Black
• Titanium White
• Phthalocyanine Blue
• Alizarin Crimson
• Cadmium Yellow Deep (Hue)
But you can use any colors you like.
