Color Mixing & Brush Selection Guide
To achieve this style, blend Phthalo Blue with Titanium White in a circular motion to create the luminous, swirling sky. For the glowing moon and its reflection, layer Cadmium Yellow and White while the paint is still wet to get a seamless gradient. When painting the intricate, curly branches, it is best to use a fine liner brush (or rigger brush); keep your acrylic paint slightly thinned with water to a milk-like consistency so the brush glides smoothly to create sharp, elegant swirls.
