Thank you I realized too late I forgot the tattoo! A good excuse to create another tribute to Naomi (and I will). The background : I first added water to the parts where the colored parts are at. Then I added watercolor red, blue, purple hues with some extra water to make them less saturated. After that, while still wet, I added some of those colors but using less water so they are more saturated. When dry I did the same with the blacks. Finished with a toothbrush dipped in white gouache and sprayed that on the paper to create the stars.

I've been trying to do those galaxy backgrounds and haven't had any luck with it once the colors start to dry.

I first added quite a bit of water to the paper and added the watercolor. After drying the colors are less vabriant. I again made the areas which I want to have stronger colors, wet. Then to these areas I try to add as much saturated as possible the watercolor pigment. Finishing with the stars for which I used white gouache and a toothbrush If I do another Expanse portrait then I will make a video of it.
