Wow, the same as me. I also struggle with post-traumatique stress, you know depression and anxiety. Amateur too, 61 years old from Venezuela. I find this Video very interesting. I gonna subscribe...
Hurrayyyy !! After so much searching , a tutorial that is so brilliant even I can do it 😂 thank you so much , you've made a 67 year old lady , not feel like an old ,old lady . . And I can finally paint this wonderful show of nature 😀👍😊
I have watched several other videos on painting Northern lights but none using this technique. I'm excited to try it. Your back yard looks amazing and it will be fun to watch it grow! Thanks for sharing and for being such a great teacher!
Wonderful rendition of the aurora. I lived in Alaska for 40 years and have have watched the Northern lights so many times. You've done them justice in this painting!
Omigoodness you just made my ENTIRE night. Tried this technique and it was so EASY (like you said) and I’m just beyond ecstatic with my work in progress now. Thank you so much!!!!!
It is so cool how just adding random lines and brushes of paint to a canvas can create shapes that can take your art to such a different place than what you had imagined in the begining. I do this all the time, just add some random strokes and study the canvas. Let the canvas decide what I am painiting. The bottom left of this work i see a skull forming in the sky. If this was my work i would have started to build off of that by softly highlighting the shape of it.
Thank you so much for this video. Finally I can do it with your guidance. You’ve explained it step by step, which no one has done before . So glad that I have found your video. Thanks again 🥰 you’ve made me feel like a professional 🧑🎨🎨 Greetings from Germany 🌹
Totally the est and easiest tutorial for beginners, thank you so much for taking the time to do this, totally inspiring and I will be sure to give it a go to use in conjunction with my acrylic pouring and resin artwork.
This video made me follow! I painted amazing northern lights on small canvases using bob Ross’ tutorial but I didn’t have the same success with a large canvas. I’ll comment again with updates but so far using my hair mister and my blush brush have made a BIG difference
Woo hoo! I'll have to try this in oils...maybe in layers 🤔 obviously no water. 😄 I'm problem solving now. Oh yeah, start monochromatic then I can do glazing. Oh man, splattering with oils...that will definitely be outside 😳 Windy day outside. Those frogs are so cute and the silverware insects too.
This is the best tuition I’ve ever seen on you tube. So much so this non painter is going to have a bash at painting it..outstanding content .thank you xxx
i watched and followed this tutorial for a nothern lights painting im making for my exams. it turned out very well and my teacher liked it aswell. thanks for the clear tips!! :)
I have watches other videos that were good ..but a bit complex. WOW this is so beautiful natural and simple and so grateful for you sharing this. Thank you very much!💓🤜
Absolutely gorgeous! I've looked a while for something that resemble their beauty and finally found you and you got it girl. I will be trying this but I may experiment and flick silver to see what silver stars look like and thinking about painting on glass. Ive subscribed so I'll be notified of your new creations! I'm actually giddy like a child to paint this. THANK YOU!!!
Holy guacamole! That *is* easy! That’s going to be my next project. I sanded an old failed painting and now I’m giving it a couple coats of gesso, sanding smooth, then I’ll start!
HI Lisa, nice way of doing the Northern Lights, your gardening is so different than what I do in CT, we have garden "troughs" and I just throw the seeds in for the butterflies and birds, lots of milkweed, herbs, definitely need my morning glories and moonflowers. When you said you had a hibiscus in that pot, I had to chuckle, my hibiscus have to be in the ground, they are huge here. I love your decorative accents to the garden, I have those same flat round disc solar lights too as well as the pole solar lights with a clear flower or hummingbird on it, I like collecting the more sculpture type solar lights poles too. Again, thanks for the video, you have given me some ideas to do a patriotic northern lights painting.
I can’t paint a straight line- I just watched this numerous times and painted it! It was a lot of fun!!!! I look like I know what I’m doing!!!! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Been looking for an easier version for quite some time and finally understood how to use white to create brighter lights ❤
That's great. I attempted a northern lights today but I did exactly what you said NOT to do and though my background with a milky way was pretty awesome when I tried the lights it all went belly up.😮 so tomorrow I'll be painting over it and starting again! I've not picked up a paintbrush in 3yrs so was a bit rusty. Glazing over the white is a great idea. I'll try using mixing white as it's more transparent.😊
Lisa I love this! I just did a northern lights painting with a student, I am going to share this with him, it is a fantastic alternative way to create northern lights. Think I will be trying this myself as well 😁
Thank you so much! My girlfriends birthday is soon and her favourite colour is purple/scarlet so I've been looking for inspiration to create something for her in that scheme and on this subject but didn't know how to go about it! I use oils rather than acrylic, any advice on achieving the same light effect cause obviously oils dry so much slower and diluting with water won't work? Beautiful work 😊
You can do this in watercolor! you just have to do layers and let it dry in between each layer. I have a video on this on my channel called galaxy man if you want to check it out! it looks cool I use a tooth brush for the stars.
I tried several times in other tutorial and neve got a good result, your technique is easy and i m eager to try and sure i Will get the resulta i am waiting for. thanks Greetings for Norway🇧🇻
@Lisa_lachri you make this look so easy to do... guess I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing some of your techniques, you are so generous! 💞 Love your garden, I think the only way I'm going to get plants to grow is in pots or raised beds since my soil here is so bad, sand over clay is not good plant or garden growing soil, the yucca and cactus love it, but nothing else does 😃
Do you mix your colors when painting with acrylics as you go or do you premixu them in advance before painting? I ask because they dry so fast. Thanks. Really interested in your Patreon. Wish there was more watercolor content, other then that your Patreon looks awesome. Especially the inktense tutorials.
Personally I find mixing as you go being easier, but it depends on what I’m painting. There are slow dry mediums you can mix with your acrylic and that helps them not dry as quick, however keep in mind it’ll extend the time it takes for you to paint the entire painting.
Hello from Norway. I have been looking at this beautiful northern light that you paint, but i do not understand how and when you spray water. Do you spray water on the canvas when you start painting the white color?....and do you spray water when you paint blue, green and purple color? I thought that this would cover the white color.
Thank you so much for this. I am an amateur and have started painting to fight my depression. Your video taught to paint so easily. Grateful 🙏🏻
I'm so glad you found art! I hope you feel better ♥️
My therapist just told me I should get into painting for my depression! Literally why I’m here
Wow, the same as me. I also struggle with post-traumatique stress, you know depresión and anxiety. Amateur too, 61yrs old.

Did it turn out good ?
Wonderful rendition of the aurora. I lived in Alaska for 40 years and have have watched the Northern lights so many times. You've done them justice in this painting!
That is so awesome! I've never seen them in person. Maybe someday! They look like magic!
Me too. I live in Alaska. Going on 24 years now. I agree, Lachri did it justice. Spot on.

Thanks!! :D
Thank you sooo much ma'am for teaching a very easy method of northern light painting techniques
Woo hoo! I'll have to try this in oils...maybe in layers 🤔 obviously no water. 😄 I'm problem solving now. Oh yeah, start monochromatic then I can do glazing. Oh man, splattering with oils...that will definitely be outside 😳
Windy day outside. Those frogs are so cute and the silverware insects too.
It will work almost exactly the same, you just have to let the black and white layer dry before glazing 😁
This is the best tuition I’ve ever seen on you tube. So much so this non painter is going to have a bash at painting it..outstanding content .thank you xxx

I love your garden Lisa. Beautiful
Holy guacamole! That *is* easy! That’s going to be my next project. I sanded an old failed painting and now I’m giving it a couple coats of gesso, sanding smooth, then I’ll start!
That will be perfect! With all those previous layers then the gesso it will be really smooth!

Hey, just goes to show that you don't have to draw a straight line to be an artist. Van Gogh couldn't draw a straight line, either!
Wow, Awesome and Amazing video
Thanks 🤗
Thank-you for this painting tutorial, I am slowly getting back to painting and doing things I love ❤
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Been looking for an easier version for quite some time and finally understood how to use white to create brighter lights ❤
You're very welcome!

Genius. Thank you so much. I been avoiding painting pics because I couldnt do this.
Who the heck put thumbs down?? This video was amazing. Thank you!
I’m still struggling with this and I desperately so want to be able to paint it!!! 😩 every time I try the white just turns in to a mushy mess
This is so beautiful - thank you from Canada..
I've been trying this forever but this technique is so so good

That's great. I attempted a northern lights today but I did exactly what you said NOT to do and though my background with a milky way was pretty awesome when I tried the lights it all went belly up.😮 so tomorrow I'll be painting over it and starting again!

Love this demo - thank you very much!
Extremely informative and helpful!!
Thank you so very much ❤
How do you make the colours so vibrant? I followed all the steps but when I add the colour it's just dull.
I wish this would work with watercolors! I may try it anyway on black watercolor paper and gouache.
You can do this in watercolor! you just have to do layers and let it dry in between each layer. I have a video on this on my channel called galaxy man if you want to check it out! it looks cool I use a tooth brush for the stars.
@@MichelleMoreusArt thank you!
Superb showed so well. God bless you
Perfect and so easy I'll try this now✌
Looks amazing! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks!! :D
Absolute genius!!!!!! Thank you!!!!! :)
Excellent teacher. Thank you.❤
My glaze keeps smudging the white, but it thoroughly dried before I started glazing colours. Do u know how to fix this?
Omg, I just love this!
I'd tried to learn draw the aurora but all failed. Just found out that yours is the best and easiest way. Thank you so much for the lesson.

If you had a simple canvas from hobby lobby, say, could you apply a layer of black gesso to get a texture smooth enough for this painting?
Thanks so much for this! I've been struggling with northern lights and this is something I'll definitely try. New friend and subscriber here 💙
@Lisa_lachri you make this look so easy to do... guess I will have to try it.

Brilliant!! Thank you!!!
in loveee! tysm for this technique
Thanks for sharing! Love it
Hello from Norway. I have been looking at this beautiful northern light that you paint, but i do not understand how and when you spray water. Do you spray water on the canvas when you start painting the white color?....and do you spray water when you paint blue, green and purple color? I thought that this would cover the white color.
Great tutorial! Thank you so much!
OMG thank u so much for this tutorial cant wait to try it soon ❤
Wonderful, thank you !
thank you so much for this tutorial
What colors did you use on the Northern lights acrylic painting
Awesome
