015 Aurora Silhouette

The #northernlights, or #aurora, is on most people's #bucketlist I never get tired of seeing them in #Alaska. I'll even stand outside is below zero temps to watch the #northernlights dance over my head.
This less-than-16-minute project makes #easywork of putting the #Aurora on paper. It's particularly suited for a #paintnight with friends. The sihouette marker drawings don't require fancy drawing skills. You can #makeitsimple or fancy it up as much as you want.
Here are the supplies you'll need:
Waterolor paper or block
Permanent black marker
Watercolor brush #8 & #4 Round
Watercolor paints in these colors
Ultramarine Blue
Alizarin Crimson
Turquoise
Permanent Green
Palette knife to mix colors
Time Code
