i wanted to replicate the patterns of the galaxy but in a more abstract way. I wanted the colours to be more subdued and sutle so i used diluted ink as my meduim instead of paint. I added oil to the water and ink as i didnt want the ink and water to mix together in thier entirety, and i think this ended up working well as the colours merge well together but still reman seperate.

 

To add interest i added crushed black pepper to the ink as it dried, and im quite happy with the result as it creates quite a beautful texture. I also splashed iridescent paint at different points throughout painting becuase i wanted to repliacte the forming of new galaxies.
