Hello hello!

We all have spent some time gazing up at the stars and admiring the beauty of the night sky at some point in our lives. And if you are someone like me then you must have admired the astronauts who get to travel into space and see the beauty of our earth and the night sky from above.

Have you ever dreamt of being an astronaut and the chance to travel into space?

What if I told you that, I could give you that chance to travel into space and enjoy the vastness of the universe today? Even though, not in real, what if we could get there with our paintings?

Yes! so this class is all about exploring the universe with our watercolour paintings!

We are going to put on our space suit and embark on a journey into space from our homes.

We will take off in our small spacecraft to enjoy the beautiful night sky and have a look at the earth from above. Then we head over to the sun! Although it is practically impossible, we can do so with our watercolours! Then we will head out further into the universe to a green galaxy and from there to a gorgeous yellow nebula!

Before we start our journey, I will take you through all the art supplies that you need, so that you can pack your bags and be ready to strap in. We will also go through the pre-flight checklist by looking at some of the essential watercolour techniques needed for this class. 

Right after the checklist is complete, we will be ready for launch!

All of the paintings are in real time and hence will be easy for you to follow even if you are a beginner.

So, are you ready to join me in this space shuttle?

Let us begin the countdown and lift off!

T minus 3...2...1...booster ignition! And lift-off!
