Hey everyone! I recently posted a photo of my most popular completed painting this year. I thought I would go back in and share some progress photos of that painting.
This space jellyfish is one of my showcases and I’m excited to show you my process with it!
First, creating the main “swoops” of the nebulas and the inner layer of the top of the jellyfish.
Next, beginning to add the smaller thinner tentacles, these took soooooo long to paint!! I also blocked out my planets.
Next, adding the transparent cap to the top of the jelly, finishing the thin tentacles, and starting to color planets.
Finally! Adding the stars and all of the “glow” is always my last step. Here’s where I make it sparkle!!
Hope you like it!!
Photo for scale! This is when I was almost done painting.

Wow, this is some real amazing talent there. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you so much!
Wow, just as beautiful as the photographs. You are very talented artist
Thank you!
This is awesome! The colors are so vivid, they stand out really nicely on the black background. Which type of color is that?
Thank you! It’s all acrylic paint, mostly Windsor and Newton and Liquitex. I paint my backgrounds matte to help the colors pop even more!
They seem almost glowing? Are they neon colors? In any case, it really pops, i would totally hang that on my wall!
Please keep posting stuff like this, i would love to have more amazing art on this site :)
Thanks! They’re not neon, they’re bright though and the matte black background helps bring them out even more. :)
I’ll definitely keep posting! There’s a few other posts in here with my artwork and more to come!
If you ever want to purchase art I do sell my pieces. :) This one isn’t available but canvas prints of it are. You’re welcome to hit me up via my social media art pages if you’re ever interested!
