Mesmerizing Aurora Borealis | Watercolor Wet-on-Wet Painting Tutorial Northern Lights

Step into a world painted entirely by light! ✨ Join me in this relaxing watercolor session as I bring the vibrant, dancing colors of the Aurora Borealis to life.
In this tutorial (or time-lapse), I demonstrate the beautiful, yet unpredictable wet-on-wet technique. This method allows the rich greens, blues, and yellows to bleed and blend organically on the paper, perfectly mimicking the ethereal flow of the Northern Lights across the night sky.
What You'll Learn/See:
• How to achieve a glowing sky effect using the wet-on-wet technique.
• Creating dramatic, deep reflections in the water.
• Painting sharp, contrasting pine tree silhouettes against a brilliant light source.
This piece is all about capturing the quiet, mystical energy of the far north.
