In this class we will paint an Aurora borealis / Northern Lights sky! We will focus on exploring color and different techniques to find out what does and doesn't work for each of us.

In this class you will learn:

How to build up a dramatic sky
How to retain light in your sky
Blending techniques --how to get a smooth color change

The process and techniques we'll be using of this class are ones you can apply to all your skies --making it well worth your time and practice.

I've painted many aurora skies and am very honored to guide you through painting this one today. It makes me very happy to share with you what I've learned and ways to make this process that much easier. If you stick with me we'll make it out of the what can feel like a very long 'ugly phase'! ;)

This class is perfect for anyone who’s already picked up a brush since I won’t be going over absolute beginner steps in detail…however all are welcome!

Materials needed for the class:

100% cotton paper (4x6" is what I prefer)
watercolor paints
assortment of brushes (at least one mop would be great)
cloth towels
spray bottle
water proof board to tape your project onto
tape
bleed proof ink or white gouache
shimmer *optional
