Acrylic/Oil Painting Time-lapse | Aurora Borealis

My newest oil painting features the colorful glow of the Northern lights dancing over a winter landscape. A warm glow emerges from the cabin below as the light reflect quietly off the warm spring fed creek.

The bright greens were using manganese blue, yellow, and white. and finally the bright yellows below were white and yellow, sometimes a touch of manganese blue.

Thanks for watching! (:

Ha I meant to say compass, just noticed that now 😂 protractor just came to mind I guess. I included some notes on my color mixtures in the description, thanks for watching everyone and for all the amazing comments !

[@rickyhamilton1]

just use an airbrush chuck faster happy painting....

[@chuckblackart]

Used one for years when I was younger, it's just not where my love for painting lies. They're definitely fun though

[@lolivars4304]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, the final result was BEAUTIFUL!..., I really enjoyed the whole process with your voice and that peaceful music.

[@mlaart1360]

Chuck Black Art Wooow!! It's amazing and breathtaking work! I can't believe that a person can do it! How many days did you draw it? (Sorry for my mistakes. I don't know English well🙂)

[@phillygirl7943]

This is stunning! Was it all done in oil up to the finished product? After you initially did acrylic? DO U RECOMMEND OIL OR ACRYLIC for beginners? I’ve always loved oil but never gave it a go. Always used acrylic since it was cheaper, but always drawn to oil and wanna try! ESP the water soluble ones!

[@geoffdewitt357]

I can't thank you enough for how you've helped me change my life. I'm a recovering alcoholic and could never draw a circle much less paint something. I needed something constructive and self fulfilling in life. I started watching Bob Ross just for something to do and then found your work. I've watched all your videos and many multiple times. I learned so much from you and decided to try this. I just finished my second attempt at painting and you wouldn't believe how it turned out. I wish i could attach it to show you just how much you help people. It's beautiful. You've given me a new Avenue in life that's healthy, motivating and a huge confidence builder for a lost man. I don't know why you do these videos but you may not know the enormous impact you can have on someone's life. Thank you very much.

[@san.1300]

Wow, your comment inspired me so much. You are a strong soul, don't stop doing what makes you happy.

[@rebellefleur435]

I hope he see's your comment. It's very heart-felt and so very kind of you to share that with him. I'm a recovering addict myself and just picked up a paint brush the other day for the first time since childhood. Best of luck to you Geoff.

[@lassi372]

Wooow... 💛 Art is cool!

[@bridgetanne8242]

Geoff Dewitt Me too! Painting makes me want to stay sober

[@Pico_444]

Godspeed

[@frey4343]

I just cant believe someone is possible to draw this good! Never stop drawing youre awesome

[@CHIPSY13]

I thing its painting, but no problem 😂☮️

[@catsNplanets]

CHIPSY lol

[@circumboreal]

After the near-global display of auroras last night, I went in search of tutorials to paint what I saw. It’s clear from this piece that you’re one of the few artists who have actually seen the lights yourself. Watching your brushstrokes evokes the same sense of awe as seeing the ripples and pillars shifting in the sky.

[@glennc.1210]

I lived in an area that had northern lights, and your painting is almost as if I were there. PLEASE do more of these !

[@TiffanysFineArt]

Glenn C. You’re so lucky to live where I get to see them! I’ve always wanted to see and paint them! Hopefully I’ll be able to do one soon. :)

[@mattslupek7988]

The aurora borealis is the absolute coolest thing EVER!! I’m currently in the middle of making a picture of the North Pole before Santa makes his big trip, and because he lives in the Arctic, I thought I’d throw the aurora borealis in the background.

[@TTundragrizzly]

Living in Alaska, I can really appreciate this. Nice job.

[@joseadrianvaldes9792]

Some day I'll go to alaska... greetings from florida

[@kami1816]

I Wish I Can See The Northern Lights There😔

[@jgin9073]

Dont go chasing griz on sleds now haha I lived in trapper creek for a few years and kinda miss the pink salmon

[@inayab6104]

I love when you talk through the paintings

[@TiffanysFineArt]

Inaya B he really does an amazing job talking/teaching while he paints. I hope I can learn to do this on my channel very soon. :D

[@chanellearetha2262]

And the background music. It just adds to the overall warm calm feeling :)

[@LiterallyCant87]

I’ve watched all your northern lights paintings multiple times and this is my absolute favorite! For the life of me I struggle so much on the lights w acrylics. Have tried multiple techniques. I know you put a lot of time and have a lot of patience in painting them. But you do make it look so easy!! Lol. So incredibly talented! Thank you for sharing your talent with us ❤

[@landipan]

I think this is my favorite one of your paintings yet!!!

[@lomarenr1598]

I’ve always loved the Northern Lights and no one can paint them as well as you Chuck. Superb and stunningly beautiful work as always.

[@djoher_art]

this is absolutely wonderfull!!!!PERFECTION!!!!!!!

[@theartthief8932]

I got to take a trip with my fiancé last year to Iceland (from Australia) and seeing the northern lights was an absolute dream come true. This is beautiful. That sky just takes me back. Thank you x

[@WhereTheRainbowEnds1111]

WOW Chuck! You consistently blow me away, man... you've perfectly captured the Northern Lights beauty in a way that makes me feel like I'm there!

[@shellyparker8960]

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing your techniques with us.

[@chrisr6157]

I so enjoy watching you paint. This painting turned out just beautiful!

[@aquadevida3797]

Just moved up north this past year and saw the northern lights for the first time. Your painting is absolutely breathtaking and does the real thing justice ❤

[@smilezx477]

😮😶 I am speechless...again. I need copious amounts of coffee right now...I have no words for this painting. All I can say is you're slightly better then Bob Ross at this point..in my opinion...and you don't even beat the devil outa your brushes haha 😂🤣 omg I'm 6 months late 🤯

[@milanniaciao9854]

Looking forward to more Northern Lights...so beautiful!! Like heaven on earth...

[@abhirupchowdhury3319]

Beautiful amalgam of two images. I somehow started smiling when the stars came on. No words to describe how beautiful this painting is.

[@yrugae]

I'm painting this right now and I am soooooo proud of myself. It looks so good. Thank you! You are so talented!

[@Jimkirkwood24]

There is a feeling you get when you know something is right. That's what i get from this painting. Just saying whether I think it is good or bad doesn't cut it. It's right, that's what it is. Thanks for sharing.

[@midlifecrisis920]

This is a masterclass! I have been struggling with drawing the northern lights for some time and this definitely gives a perspective.

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

Wow the northern lights i always dreamt of seeing it in real life. I love this painting. So soothing

[@jerrysonett1937]

out of the Many artists i love, your paintings are some of the very few that make me really wish i was in the actual scene! So beautiful!!! 😍😭

[@TiffanysFineArt]

Jerry Sonett I agree with you. He does such an amazing job! I hope I can paint and teach like him on my channel soon! :D

[@mirandafann]

Every aspect of your paintings are always beautiful, but your SKIES always just blow me away!😮😊

[@Gigi_kodra58]

This is truly the best painting on northern lights i’ve ever seen. So impressed💜💜🙏🏻thank you Chuck for sharing your art.

[@relaxbro5605]

2:22 Wow that is perfection! I could have sworn the clouds on the painting moved for a second! So realistic! 🤓

[@davimolinari345]

I´ve got to say, watching this gets me emotional. there´s something about this that is just amazing

[@AveniusArt]

I love your northern lights paintings so much ♥

[@Astreving]

Amazing! Simply Gorgeous piece of art! You can instantly feel the soft cold of the snow, the wind whistling, the cracks of the ice on the river...man this is incredible what you just did! :D Amazing!

[@Rogerswildlifetaxidermy]

Absolutely amazing as always!!

[@Cur0m]

Great choice of music! Very heavenly for the northern lights.

[@cierravannatter4469]

The best and most realistic by far of Northern Lights ! Thank you so very much !

[@angeliroz8267]

Painting and Aurora Borealis are two of my most favourite things in the world. Amazing tutorial! 😍 thanks very much

[@chuckblackart]

Thank you Angeli 💚💚

[@stingray52]

[@mateo3395]

[@TiffanysFineArt]

Slurpy durp he is amazing isn’t he. He is the reason I started taking painting back up and started my own channel. I hope I can be as good as this one day!

[@mateo3395]

Tiffany's Fine Art good luck with it

[@_amoopoint_1458]

This is insane. You are so talented. What i love most is ur honesty. Thank u for showing how much it takes to bring out a piece like this

[@himanisajwan9438]

I like the way you didn't paint the snow as complete white.. you kept the snow little bit of blue as a reflection of the night. You indeed is a great painter. Love watching you over and over again 😊😊💐💐

[@jillvalentine6182]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️one of my new favorites Chuck!!! Breathtaking!

[@natgosau10]

This is my favorite painting of yours. Gorgeous.

[@josiahcruz2610]

I started watching your vids on and off about a few months ago, but gradually I REALLY started to appreciate the sheer level of time, effort, and talent you apply to both painting and making these videos, You paint with such clarity and precision in your pieces that I can literally hear birds chirping when seeing your landscape paintings. You earned a new subscriber, keep up the great work!

[@leighwilsonartist]

Striking painting Chuck, loved the manipulating of the sky and the graduations really made it realistic. It’s one of nature’s finest displays so capturing it on canvas is well worth it. This gets a written thumbs up.

[@krissycargill6568]

Your paintings are absolutely stunning! Like wow so beautiful and so detailed. You put so much thought and effort into them and it turns out absolutely amazing every time! Amazing job. So inspiring!

[@perlarodriguez3152]

Wooo!!! It's really magnific.

[@BrianLKL222]

beautiful work as always, BRAVO 👏👏👨‍🎨

[@willhawney3849]

brilliant Chuck...thank you for the inspiration and your generosity in sharing your knowledge

[@crotman4217]

I have never enjoyed watching someone else paint like this. I am obsessed. I've had success with watercolor & acrylic but I've always been apprehensive to try oil. Watching your process has restored that faith for me. Thank you for the inspiration, you are amazing!!

[@debby.turner]

Couldn't express how much I love this😍 great technique!

[@lunabird89]

This man is a master . Hours upon hours of practice and years of experience he holds . God bless man

[@janicecoomes]

Just amazing Chuck. Love it!!!

[@thekayyysayyy]

Absolutely stunning. I love how you talk us through it. I haven't dabbled much in oils since high school over a decade ago but you make me wonder if I've been cutting myself short all these years sticking to acrylic only. Now I want an oils class!

[@umitbaby8844]

man, I just wanna let you know that I started taking art lessons and do acrylics painting when I watched your videos. They are so inspiring and I learn a lot. Thanks so much for all the beautiful art and lessons.

[@AshaJacobb]

Wow... This is excellent northern lights

[@diyabansal9]

[@TiffanysFineArt]

DimensionDestro the colors are incredible. I hope I can make mine shine like this.

[@zahrasohail5971]

pure and simply amazing

[@alana.g12]

I’m in awe.

[@NicolaSearlot]

This is so beautiful. I had a dream about the Auroras a couple of nights ago and since then all I can think about is painting them, which I've never done before. I'd never be able to achieve this but I can only try!

[@genelleseabourne2117]

You're such an inspiration chuck black I love your works

[@AVEMAREAMUSIC]

Your talent and work is beyond anything ive seen.

[@saikatdas8973]

Very beautiful painting 🖼 😍 👌

[@veenapendharkar5206]

Awesome, your aurora paintings are the best!

[@annettefields792]

Beautiful idea and painting. Thank you for explaining what you're doing as you paint. I am hoping to start painting after not having painted or drawn for about 45 years. So this could be an enjoyable way to spend some time. I really enjoy and appreciate your video teaching!

[@swathi_]

this is by far the best and the most natural looking northern lights piece I have seen on KZbin! Thanks! Attempting it this weekend! :D

[@liliawebb9377]

Very lovely! The protractor was a surprise!

[@breezyberwick1927]

Looks like a beautiful Norway sky, fantastic work of art

[@davidsteinberg7098]

Wow! Fantastic painting! Just beautiful.

[@palamere]

The painting is magnificent and inspiring.

[@tranquillines]

Absolutely gorgeous!😍😍👏👏👏👏

[@PrinceGBuddha]

omg this is stunning.

[@janiemiller280]

Thanks Chuck, this is beautiful. I was fortunate enough to see the Northern lights as a child living in Michigan. What an awe inspiring sight! Thank you for putting my mind at ease thinking I must create a perfect scene in just one layer! I paint with acrylics and it has always been frustrating for me as well when I am unable to blend everything out more, and with the fast drying time of acrylics. I have never used oil paint but have more recently been considering giving them a try. I purchased the two Princeton blending brushes you previously recommended and I absolutely love them!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and tips! You inspire us all!

[@luispalaciosquiroz4832]

It's incredible!

[@elainelogan2023]
