Description I made this one for the contest hosted by:   

We had to portray constellation(s)
I was browsing on which one I would pick, but I remember always looking for the Big Dipper as a child, since it's one of the easiest to recognise/identiy and it's visible to almost anywhere on earth I think. Many constellations are visible in the South.

I just loved the idea of a big bear wandering through space, and wanted to magnify that feeling with a reflection on a lake.

I hope you like it!

Beautiful work ! I like the color-combination very much. Also the depiction of the constellation and stary sky. 
Nice work ! This makes me want to draw/paint again...but I am struggling with an art block at this moment so after 5 mins sketching the paper goes in the trashcan ... 
Anyway great job !

Aya-Lunar In reply to WatchNight [2017-12-21 14:02:12 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it! Had to do so much layering!

Why don't you try to paint something with no real objective or sketch

I have some canvasses laying around, and sometimes I just paint with my fingers to just let the frustration out and feel creative.
