I am back for another day of Kristina Werner&#8217;s Simply watercolor class.  I was super excited for this class because I wanted to play around making starry night skies or galaxies.</p>
<p><strong>Day 4: Landscapes and Nature</strong></p>
<p>First lesson: Simple landscape</p>
<p>Here I had a trouble with the washi tape I used to mark off the border of my landscape and the colors leaked creating blurry borders. I didn&#8217;t like it so I cut off my landscape and adhered it to a card front.</p>

<p>Second lesson: Starry Sky</p>
<p>Here is my blue-green starry sky, which I love!! I can believe how good it came out. The key was to make sure the tape was well secured so the colors wouldn&#8217;t bleed underneath the tape.</p>
