I was looking for a video of the northern lights for a kids craft fair in a few months to sell and I’ve gotta say, I love how it turned out, might be one of my favorites I’ve made for the fair!❤

[@trinejensen1707]

Wow, i really love this 🤩 You are so talented 👍🏻😃👍🏻 I’m very fascinated and totally mesmerised by northern lights and i enjoy everytime there is a sun storm so i can watch northern lights from my window 😊

[@joniyoungart]

[@renataroqueta4646]

Looks amazing.will definitely try .

[@tezlin]

Hi Joni thanks for all the tutorials and especially the videos on brushes and what individual ones are good for all information is really useful especially at the beginning like me. I followed your techniques in this video but not the exact picture but I suppose if we all did the same it’d be boring. So thanks for everything. PS have done a couple of Northern Light painting but I found your technique the easiest to follow, I hope everyone gives it a go. ❤

[@genny7493]

Wonderful! Thank you for the tips.

[@joniyoungart]

Thanks genny

[@creativeness68]

I did it. It doesn't look like yours, but it's OK. With practice, it will look great. No one can tell my mistakes. I like it, though. Thank you

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you so much 😀

[@dawnlockwood86]

Thank you so much. I've been dying to learn this

[@lindamorris7572]

Blending brush omg!! It's so hard to do northern light with acrylic because it dries so quickly and it always looks too defined at least with me. What a concept. Thanks so much! Going to buy some brushes and try this.

[@jeanettewhite2144]

Beautiful ❤❤❤

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you! 😊

[@CaroleMinxBlanton]

That was really cool and ez Joni! Thanks, I've been looking for a tutorial so I could paint the aurora. Have a Happy and Safe New Year

[@Demiboy_DannyRose]

Hey Joni! I've been watching your videos since late last year when I decided to start painting and they have been so very helpful! So thank you so much for that. I've watched several videos of people doing the northern lights, but I could never figure out how they got the color with it, and now I know how to do it!!! I do have a quick question though... I usually use canvas panels and I've had a few occasions where I painted them black to do a painting. However, I noticed that when I do that, when I use a bright red paint, it always dries to be really dark and rather muted or dull. Like all the vibrance is just gone. This has happened to me with several different brands of paint too. Is there something I'm doing wrong or anything I can do to prevent this from happening?? I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you so much!!!

[@joniyoungart]

Thanks for your comment and question. Adding a bit of white first, let dry then add your red😉 only way for it to pop when painting on a dark canvas.

[@Demiboy_DannyRose]

Thank you so much!!! That has been driving me crazy for a long time now trying to figure out how to get it right! I will definitely try it out (hopefully later today)! Thanks again. 🙂💖

[@Justfreeloading]

Merry Christmas Joni and thank you again.

[@joniyoungart]

Thanks Bev, Happy holidays!

Thank you Rachel ❤

[@ericjensen7580]

Hello, do you think this would work well on a 3d surface as well? I'm painting a snow dragon miniature and I wanted to do black wings with Northern lights

[@joniyoungart]

Uneven surfaces are a little more difficult but you can do it! I bet it will look great ❤️

[@charlesm7132]

I am looking to do this on a wall mural for my girls. Would this work with wall paint? Do they make a large blending brush? Could be hard on a large wall with a small brush

[@SKMRify]

Enchanting.

[@joniyoungart]

@@SKMRify thank you 😊

[@SKMRify]

@@joniyoungart You're welcome.

[@rosegrangier3540]

Bonjour, nouvelle sur votre chaîne, j'aime beaucoup,😊

[@joniyoungart]

Thanks rose!

[@gwenkelly1]

love it❤

[@mandyreid5846]

Well I tried my own version using your helpful tips it doesn’t look as great as yours but I tried !!

[@joniyoungart]

Great job!

[@henfc456]

Does it work if I just paint it black

[@cindyj4480]

I painted my canvas black, which lifted as soon as I got it wet. Plus my white kept turning grey. I am assuming I should have spray painted the canvas black and not used acrylic...

[@joniyoungart]

The acrylic shouldn’t lift if it’s completely dry, I use acrylic paint or gesso for pre painting my canvases. watercolour or gouache will lift but not acrylics. Sorry this happened to you, dont give up and try again❤️ hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions Cindy xo

[@biyaali9200]

Is your flat brush dry too?

[@barbaragutowska7700]

Śliczny.

[@joniyoungart]

Thanks Barbara!

[@muharremcan4913]

[@joannerodis6126]

Thank you for going slow. I could watch your hands move across canvas. I will be try to paint the Northen light tomorrow.

[@joniyoungart]

Have fun!

Where can I buy a slanted mop brush

[@joniyoungart]

Angle mop, art stores and makeup brushes 😉

[@momrobes]

That mob brush is a make up brush, yes?

[@joniyoungart]

Yes

[@coleozaeta6344]

I’m making a birthday present for someone. The lights are the background, and a little campfire is supposed to be in the woods.

[@zareenislam4074]

Can I draw it on art paper?

[@joniyoungart]

Yes :)

[@chivon9746]

Can you see the Northern Lights from your location??

[@joniyoungart]

Sometimes! 😊

[@innergirlart]

Are you using stiff brushes
