After one constellation was done, I wanted to continue. Primary Blue, Primary Red, and Titanium White blended into an evening sky once again.

I made a bit of a mess using a toothbrush to create the distant stars. Paint was getting all over my hands. It was worth it when I saw the end result. A thin brush was used to put the Anchor constellation in the sky. Mars Black paint was perfect for the silhouette of the ocean. The waves are a generic shape to try to get the point across as quickly as possible, because I wanted the focus to be more on the sky.
