WATERCOLOR TIPS:

For clean edges, use masking or washi tape.
Create beautiful backgrounds out of watercolor and for the foreground or creating shapes, use a pen, marker, or acrylic paint for more precise control.
Make sure your brush is wet when creating gradations or wet-on-wet effects. Work fast before your watercolor paint dries.
Stars can be created by either using a white pen or splattering white acrylic or gouache paint (flick bristles over paper to create splatter).
