Acrylic and watercolor on 250lb Bockingford watercolor paper

Another in my space series. There are things that I would have done differently with this one. I would have had more black around the earth so that the planet would show off better. I also forgot to put in the stars before I removed the masking from the planet and space ship. Usually I would dip a toothbrush into white paint and bend the bristles back to spray white paint randomly onto the painting but this time I had to put in each star by hand. Other than that I kinda like this painting.
