Daily Creativity: Venus

Venus the second planet in our solar system may look uninteresting due to it’s cloud covering but using a radar photo I painted something between the texture of the surface and the clouds above. I’ve painted some of the planets before and eventually I will paint them all. This marks the latest installment of this series. I think this is an interesting planet, the surface is much like the oceans floor, with pressure of the bottom of the marianas trench and deadly atmosphere we have much less information about Venus as we do of Mars. I like painting the planets in watercolor, I think it gives them a luminosity that I wouldn’t be able to achieve with oil paint. Watercolor on paper.
