Unleash the Magic: How to Paint a Dramatic Orca & Northern Lights in Acrylics – Step by Step

Welcome to the channel! Today, we are diving into a world of vibrant color and dramatic contrasts. Join me, Ginger Cook, as we paint this breathtaking scene of a majestic Orca breaching against a backdrop of the Northern Lights.

In this lesson, I’m going to show you how to be the boss of your own canvas! We will focus on:
Blending vibrant skies: How to transition from deep Dioxazine Purple to glowing Cadmium Yellows without making mud.
The Silhouette Technique: Creating those distinct tree lines and the powerful shape of the Orca.

Water Reflections: How to pull those sky colors down into the water to create that wet, shimmering look.

Whether you've been painting with me for years or this is your first time picking up a brush, this tutorial is broken down so anyone can follow along. Remember, it’s just paint! If you don't like it, dry it and fix it!
