I love the final product. Looks amazing. But I did have a lot of trouble hearing your commentary, especial when you were using the heat gun. But still loved watching. I think that will be my next project.
Sooo beautiful!! I was fortunate enough to get to see the Northern Lights when I was in Kodiak, Alaska. They are magical! I love your tutorial and these products, hopefully I will get results 1/10 as great as yours. Thank you!
That’s wonderful. And thank you. I grew up in the Yukon, & went to Alaska for many long weekends & ball tournaments. I was fortunate to see the northern lights dance many times.
Thank you so much! I did film a new one with intention to share, a contemporary piece trying a new texture product. but said new product didn’t do what it was suppose to hahaha, and I was stumped. Lol so I won’t post that one. 😂 I will try again soon. Fingers crossed next one goes better
I have used some similar techniques in my own aurora borealis depictions. I developed a paint from colorshift pigments, and then layered resin on top to show the flip better with the refractive index. However, you've converted me, resin as a medium is a far more organic process. I do have an enormous amount of interference pearls, but the brilliance of the myriad colorshift pigments is pulling me effortlessly in its direction, perhaps your technique and my pigments will be an eyecatching experience. :D
Thank you! It’s definitely challenging trying to video while creating. Now that I have a proper cell phone holder, I’ll keep trying to get better at videoing & sharing. 🥰
If you can, maybe turn the volume down on the parts you’re using the torch or heat gun. I have an Adobe program that makes doing voice overs easier but there’s probably free ones out there. Great vid though, saw everything clearly and you instructed well. Explained why you were doing and how and what should happen. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is beautiful! I saw you post it on one of the resin sites. I have been working with resin quite a while but I have never used interference. I wasn't exactly sure what I was supposed to do with it even though I have all four colors. 😂 I think I might try it today. If I have any success and post it I will give you credit for the idea.(I guess I'm allowed to do that.) I'm actually an administrator on one of the sites, but I rarely see people give credit so I will find out for sure. I tried to sign up for your blog but it wouldn't let me do it. The keyboard would not come up to type my information in. And again this is gorgeous I think I see more interference colors in my future. 😊
Thank you so much! Have fun creating ! I look forward to seeing it too. I will try to figure out what’s happening with the blog. it’s a Wix website & it doesn’t quite work like other platforms especially in the blog area. But if it’s something I can fix, I will 😃
This turned out just stunning. I really love the sparkle ones. I’m not great at technology either but a suggestion that may help with the noise level. I know other you tubers that I watch wear a microphone that plugs into whatever you are using to record. Some use wireless but more cost. That way we can hear you speaking even over the torch and heat gun. You have a very soft voice so I really think it would be a great investment for you. I had to turn my volume up quite high to hear you speak so when you used your tools I turned it down but heard nothing you said. Best of luck I am looking forward to more of you videos and love seeing these products. I do have mica to use up but I sure am glad I have a Canadian company I know I can buy paste from going forward.
Thank you very much! And great tip. I had not heard of the microphone option. Thanks for that tip. I will definitely look into that. I was also considering just voice over, but I know we lose spur of the moment info on those. I’m just starting the whole video thing, lol so definitely need to learn & experiment with better options. Thanks again. 😊
Thank you so much! I’ve added the photo of pigments used to the ArtWorks Canada Facebook page under this Northern Lights post. Since I could t figure out how to add it at the end of the video. 😄
I love the interference powder and the sparkles. I could not find either of them on those websites you listed. Can you share the link to find them in the US and let me know the exact name of the product. Thank you.
Can you email me with which colours you are interested in? to md@artworksresin.ca Sky base colours: I used Colour Passion Navy Epoxy Paste in this video. (Edited Note: I did a 4th Northern Lights version after this one, in a little bit lighter blue & I preferred the lighter sky... other Colour Passion paste colours that can still work for the blue section are Blue Passion, Indigo, Michele Shimmer, Classic Blue or Cobalt Blue). I used Colour Passion Purple Passion Epoxy Paste in this video. (Edited Note: in the 4th Northern Lights version, I did a bit lighter purple in the sky too and preferred the lighter sky..... other Colour Passion paste colours that work beautifully for the purple section in the sky are Erika Shimmer & Helen Shimmer paste). The Northern Lights were all created from these interference colours: Colour Passion Green Interference Powder Colour Passion Blue Interference Powder Colour Passion Violet Interference Powder Colour Passion Red Interference Powder The Sparkles aren’t necessary but a pretty addition that almost gives a feel of stars: Colour Passion Green Change Sparkle Powder Colour Passion Blue Change Sparkle Powder Colour Passion Violet Change Sparkle Powder Colour Passion Red Change Sparkle Powder Ground colours used in this video: Colour Passion Black Passion Epoxy Paste Colour Passion Onyx Powder (In different versions, I tried other colours of powders, a bronze, and a brown, they worked, but I prefer the Onyx look).
@@artworksresincanada thank you for listing this information for me. The Colour Passion was in Australia. I would love to find the sparkles you used with the interference mica. I did find all colors of inference mica on amazon but not anything that looked like the sparkles.
Outstanding video and stunning art. I do have trouble hearing you even without the torch and blower, but CC helps some. I have lots of interference powders, but had not heard they had them available as sparkles, so I did go get some. Love colour passion products. Wonderful tutorial. Hoping someday I can hear you better.
Appreciate your feedback. I’m quite new to making these but have lots of ideas to share. Hopefully I’ll get the hang of video recording side of things soon.
Thank you. I took a photo of them to add at the end, but can not for the life of me figure out how to add that photo lol. So tech challenged. Lol It’s all Colour Passion product. Base in sky is Navy & Purple Passion pastes. Lights are with their Interference Green, Interference Blue, Interference Violet & Interference Red, & exact same colours for their change sparkle powders. Then bottom is Passion Black paste & Onyx Pearl powder.
I have added a step by step blog for this, (link added to this video in description), & at the bottom of the blog is a list of all the colours used, with direct links to them on website. www.artworksresin.ca/post/creating-northern-lights-resin-art-step-by-step
Hello, some people do create with resin on canvas. I prefer not to as I like the results better on hard wood panels. However if you’d like to, you’ll need to support the back of the canvas with something solid to prevent the resin sinking & pooling in to the middle, and pulling away from the sides. Some people use cardboard. Some people will put a layer of resin in the backside, let it cure, then it will create the sturdier more solid front. Many canvases come preprimed, but you may want to use a complimentary base colour (tint the primer or use acrylic paint if already primed) to what your resin creation colours will be.
Good quality Acrylic paints & acrylic inks can be used, yes. You may not get same effects as mica powders. Any paint with higher water content will not work well with resin, & may cause curing issues. When adding any colourants, be sure to use smallest amount colourant possible to achieve desired colour, up to a maximum of 10% colour to resin ratio. Too much of any colourant added, can affect the sensitive chemical balance of epoxy resins ability to cure correctly.
Regular glitter acts more like an embellishment, since it does not colour the resin. Mica powder colours the resin, and can be manipulated around the piece. Regular glitter once applied, typically is left in place where applied. because if you try to spread it out, and manipulate it too much, you will have lumps & bumps under your resin.
Hello, I have not tried it with acrylics. the effects would be a bit different, but it is possible. Of course With acrylics you can control more of the design with brushwork as well. 😃
Hi Michelle, I wanna try to try your technique, I ordered the interference colours from ArtWorks. Can you please tell me what colour you would’ve primed your canvas, black? Or blue and purple? Thank you! Wish me luck...lol.
Hello. Many people do create with resin on canvas. You can prime the canvas with gesso or any primer with sealer. Any previous paint must be fully cured prior to adding resin. Also, If using canvas, you will need to support the underside, so the resin doesn’t pool in the centre. Another option is, some people give the back side of canvas a coat of resin first, then let dry flat, to add firmer support when creating on the front. I personally prefer hard wood panels, but have on occasion used canvas.
Hello, at the bottom of this blog post, I list all the colours used, the ones that may not be necessary, & a few other things I tried in other similar ones. :). www.artworksresin.ca/post/creating-northern-lights-resin-art-step-by-step
Funny. I have this on my to-do list for months and you beat me to it. It’s quite beautiful. Btw, please don’t talk while using the heat gun as we can’t hear you.
Wow! Just came across this masterpiece!! I am so glad I found you. I haven't started yet with epoxy resin but I will soon. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos so please keep making them!! Please tell me where I can find the resin site? Or your blog? I have no idea what site or where. I saw someone mention in the comments

Sky base colours:
I used Colour Passion Navy Epoxy Paste in this video.

I used Colour Passion Purple Passion Epoxy Paste in this video.
(Edited Note: in the 4th Northern Lights version, I did a bit lighter purple in the sky too and preferred the lighter sky..... other Colour Passion paste colours that work beautifully for the purple section in the sky are Erika Shimmer & Helen Shimmer paste).
The Northern Lights were all created from these interference colours:
Colour Passion Green Interference Powder
Colour Passion Blue Interference Powder
Colour Passion Violet Interference Powder
Colour Passion Red Interference Powder
The Sparkles aren’t necessary but a pretty addition that almost gives a feel of stars:
Colour Passion Green Change Sparkle Powder
Colour Passion Blue Change Sparkle Powder
Colour Passion Violet Change Sparkle Powder
Colour Passion Red Change Sparkle Powder
Ground colours used in this video:
Colour Passion Black Passion Epoxy Paste
Colour Passion Onyx Powder (In different versions, I tried other colours of powders, a bronze, and a brown, they worked, but I prefer the Onyx look).

Hello, I actually did not prime my wood panel. But you could prime it in black for lower ground area, & dark blue for upper sky area! Have fun. 😃
Thank you so much! My interference colours should be here soon thank you your prompt service. Can’t wait to try your technique.
