Paint along: Galaxy Fox with Watercolor and Gouache

Hi! My name is Nia and I will be your teacher for this class on how to paint Galaxy Fox with Watercolor and Gouache. This class is a follow up on my previous class which is on how to paint galaxy polaroids, if you're new to galaxy painting, I would suggest for you to join the previous class first as it's an easier way to grasp the idea of painting galaxy in a larger space than this Fox painting, where we will be combining both the galaxy texture whilst keeping the fox's features at the same time.

In this class we will be applying similar techniques that I covered in the first class, but this time we are going to work around the shape of a fox as well as keeping both the texture of the starry galaxy and the fox's fur. This class is ideal to paint along with, as I will be painting each step slowly so all the steps are easy to follow.

I will divide this class into smaller lessons so it's easier to digest and you will be able to paint in your own pace. This class is suited for all levels so if you're looking for a fun and relaxing class where you can create something amazing, this is the class for you!
