Did you opt out for silicones, too? If not it might be worth a quick research.

[@Jesse.Walkinshaw]

You can always add a tad bit of water to your brush when using acrylics it spreads the paint way better

[@debra9916]

I’ve not seen the Northern Lights, but I have seen the Southern Lights. The first time I saw them I was skiing in Antarctica when the horizon started glowing…it looked like city light at first. Then the lights climbed up into the sky and danced around going from white to green and blue. It was truly magnificent. Such a visual feast!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Skiing in Antarctica?? That sounds incredible!!

[@DemetriPanici]

Bullet journaling is such a nice way to plan things out!

[@marmoniel5016]

This setup is stunning!!! I really want to see any of these fabulous lights! I saw a vague glow of Aurora Australis once, which was lovely, but probably nothing compared to the new thing!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much! What I saw wasn’t even that bright because it was prettt cloudy. I can’t imagine how incredible it would be on a clear night!

[@Narja23]

Never clicked so fast on a video after I've seen the miniature ! I'm in love with your take on a northern lights theme ! It's absolutely stunning ! I've never seen any aurorea borealis, we don't have any in France nowadays (it seems that our scottish and irish friends are able to see some), and, in addition, the luminous pollution in cities is really bad here so even if we had a little green light somewhere, we probably wouldn't be able to see it. But I'm dreaming to see them one day, It's something that fascinate me from childhood when I've read Philip Pullman's novels, especially Northern Lights, precisely. It's still one of my favorite novels now ^^ Also, you improved so much the last year in your painting technique. I'm really impressed !

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw thank you, I’m so glad you like it! They’re truly breathtaking. I hope you can see them someday!

[@jasminwilhelmsen3216]

I've lived the last 4 years in northern Norway, norhtern lights were a weekly occurence there, although the light show differs in strength quite a lot from day to day. But they never get any less beautiful, no matter how many times you see them.

[@artstudentlife]

A few things about acrylics - they layer so so well and maintain their opacity which is awesome. They work on practically any surface which is also great. But at the same time, blending acrylics is a dream - I love it so much. I recommend actually working on one painting / section at a time because that way you have more control in terms of wetness and drying time, if you actually wait a while, water will not help you at all with acrylics because they’re plastic based paints And you can layer as many times and as much paint as you want without actually affecting anything

[@cIaimthestars]

Sooo pretty! I see the northern lights a lot, as I live in Norway, but they never fail to make me feel awe and appreciation for the universe. The way they dance is amazing.

[@atr0phaneura726]

Seeing the northern lights has been ob my "before I die" bucket list for a long time! I'm glad you got to seeing them in person. I dream of the day I do it myself 🖤

[@NorwegianJoVideos]

This theme is beautiful!😍🌌💫 I grew up in the Arctic North of Norway and have seen the northern lights hundreds of times, but they still never fail to mesmerize me! To this day, I love how unpredictable they are. The way they light up the sky when you least expect it✨🥰

[@eeskinner6753]

Another gorgeous spread. A true inspiration. I've been fortunate enough to see the Aurora Borealis a few times. Once in Alaska, a couple times outside Bellingham, WA and (this is no joke) north central Kansas. The Alaska ones were shades of green, then in Washington they showed orange and red. The ones in Kansas were very low on the horizon and white.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oh how cool to have seen them in three very different ways! I hope I’ll see them many more times ❤️

[@jcabanaw]

The most fun I’ve had in recent months is chasing these lights late at night with my awesome partner. We dressed cozy, made London fogs to go, grabbed snacks and went for long drives. Seeing them, and the joy on her face when we finally did see them, was a night to remember. Can’t beat that kind of quality time together.

[@PlantBasedBride]

You are too sweet. I love you ❤️

[@ElisabethScherer]

I have seen them when I was younger, and a very, very soft version the same time you did. I wish I would have gotten back out there because it was apparently amazing here in MN. I remember just being awestruck and I hope to see them again sometime. Great set up and great work with Acrylic!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Hopefully you’ll get another chance before too long! It’s hard to stay out all night hoping to see something incredible. I can’t handle all nighters the way I could a decade ago lol

[@akshitasingh6935]

The coverpage is so beautiful.....one of my fav theme of your channel

[@evelynatcraneshearth]

Welp, there it is. My favorite spread of yours of this year. 💚

[@PlantBasedBride]

🥺❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!

[@lydiaadams8474]

I live in Alaska so I see them at least once a year. They are always stunning and I love how different they are every time!

[@bentestrmmen8509]

Thank you for another lovely video! I live in the northwest of Norway, and we have the Aurora Borealis quite often during winter season. It never stops being the most beautiful sight, especially when the green and purple "flames" dance. I cry every time. :)

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw you’re so lucky! I’ve heard they’re quite common where I’ve moved recently so I hope I’ll see them many more times ❤️

[@winterglow000]

Super gorgeous!! I’ve done a spread like this before and it feel very Canadian! Also I do that type of calendar every month and I mark the Saturdays and Sundays with little dots to help me visualize the month 🤩

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oh I like that! And thank you ❤️

[@Lilli626]

Ohh wow this is great theme to end the year! Soo pretty and dark and mysterious

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw thank you!

[@herlastvoyage]

Another amazing spread! Your channel never ceases to amaze! 🌃

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@herlastvoyage]

You are so welcome! 🌌

[@MarissaDNYC]

I love this setup! My daughter (named Aurora) was glued to the screen the entire time. She especially loved that you mentioned the goddess of dawn because she’s constantly telling her little friends that her name means “dawn”, NOT “sleeping beauty” 😂😂

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw this is so sweet! 🥺

[@angelazeiler6838]

Stunning as always. Love the way you draw the northern lights and the colour palette. Don't get stressed to much in December and stay healthy 💚💙💚

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you! I’ll do my best haha 😅

[@booksjournaling5565]

Ones again, beautiful!! The montly overlook looks really handy!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you! I hope it will help me keep my head in the busy weeks to come 😅

[@booksjournaling5565]

@@PlantBasedBride hope so to for you!

[@mariaisabeldiazmata8584]

Wonderful😍😍😍😍😍 One of my dream is to see the Northern lights!!!!!!

[@queryalways]

🌫 I can't tell you how much this touched me with such a wave of nostalgia; this time of year I'd be counting down to school holidays with my Grandparents, and my family would sit out at night and talk about Astronomy & they would teach me about the ancient astronomers, and all about the night sky & it's phenomenons. Those memories are all I have now of my Grandparents, so thank you for telling these wonderful facts, and showing us your beautiful artworks. As a prior student in acrylics, there really was no 'wrong' way of working with them. Working with a wet or dry brush; wet or dry surface, it didn't matter, it could all be corrected, if it didn't work. They are a very forgiving medium. You did an amazing piece, thank you for sharing :) I saw the Lights in Scotland a while ago, they were breathtaking :)

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oh what a beautiful series of memories. Thank you so much for sharing them with me! 🥺❤️

[@walkingexercise5375]

This is so lovely! The videos of the Aurora Borealis is beautiful and amazing!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you! They really are incredible to witness.

[@mrs.dunlap8003]

The inexpensive acrylic paint has white mixed in. That's what has made your black sky look Grey. For glazing, use artists acrylics with pure pigment. Don't add white to it and it should do what you are looking for. From your friendly neighborhood art teacher 😁

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oh how interesting, I didn’t know that! That makes a lot of sense ❤️

[@BookStuffWithIzzyK]

Love the Auroras! Amazingly I saw them when I was an older teen, hanging out with friends at one of my dad’s fields. In August. In Indiana. Thank you again for another beautiful setup, nature facts, and a peek inside your mental process of planning the way you do. 💚

[@ianholets5018]

As always your monthly set ups blow me away! I love the northern lights and would love to see them in person one day! 🤩

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much! I hope you’ll get the chance to see them ❤️

[@dyl4399]

new patron here! i loved this theme, i would love to be able to see the northern lights once in my life.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw thank you! I hope you see them someday ❤️

I am constantly in awe of your talent! These paintings are so beautiful, Elizabeth. I've never seen the Northern Lights in person, but it's on my life to do list! 🌌

[@Glitterocalypse]

I just started journaling in August and haven't even used my archer and olive journals yet. But I bought a couple from the black Friday sale and was looking for some future inspiration and wow... this is BEAUTIFUL. I love all of the facts, I didnt know any of these things before. Thank you for this!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much! I’m happy to provide some inspo for using your new journals ❤️

[@winterglow000]

I’ve seen them a few times they’re amazing! 🌌

Never seen this type of setup... loved the aurora theme, it is really aesthetic ✨... But I want to tell you that you, AmandaRachLee, Lootengstudio, Erin Smith and Rylee Atumn are my favourite bujo girls !! Love you 😍

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw thank you! ❤️❤️

[@suzisaintjames]

13:08 if you want to do include white as one of your colors in your color palette... Just draw a thin black line around each of the colors ... For the white, you'd just have a circle with just the paper showing through. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷

[@ludmila_98]

This is my favorite video by far!! I’ve loved Aurora Borealis ever since I was a kid and all the facts you talked about just made me so happy!! 😍😍 needless to say, proud nerd here lol

Oh I hope you enjoy painting them! Haha relatable ❤️

[@tasbiha1337]

Wow this is one of my favourite themes can you make another gallaxy themed journal idea as i cannot find anything this much satisfying , actually i want something like if a persons opens the journal he would feel like he is in space You are great and thanks for sharing this

[@AudJane23]

love love love this so much ! i've never seen them in real life, on my bucket list. thanks for this ! xoxo

[@LauraMalfoy2011]

It goes to show how tired I am after hours on the Nano project that I saw the thumbnail, opened the video, CHECKED THE DATE IT WAS RELEASED, and thought: "oh, I can't believe I missed this spread from last year's November!" Not only this is not from last year (it's from today LOL), it's also a DECEMBER spread, not November HAHAHA I absolutely LOOOOOVE Northern Lights, it's on my bucket list to watch live ♥.♥ this theme is just absolutely dreamy!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Haha oh no, I hope Nano is going well for you!

[@rosarodriguez8984]

Those are astonishing spreads! Love them! Unfortunately I haven’t seen the northern lights but it is in my bucket list! 🌌☄️🌙

[@PlantBasedBride]

I hope you’ll see them someday!

[@historywithkaitlynrescino1996]

I’ve never seen the northern lights since their not visible in Illinois. I’ve only seen pictures but this theme is beautiful 😍

[@tracyteaches8747]

Loving it very much. 😍 I don't get to see the lights but once things open up I hope to.

[@PlantBasedBride]

I hope you do, too!

[@gtypic6253]

I love all the facts you shared! Informative and peaceful :)

[@carole5648]

i've always wanted to see the northern lights but, not yet. literally everytime they might be visible where i love it's been cloudy. your paintings came out beautiful!

[@PlantBasedBride]

I hope you’ll catch them on a clear day someday!

[@Zahrah.M]

gorgeous choice of colour for the lights! I live in the GTA but wasn't able to go out when the Northern Lights were visible a couple weeks back T_T I've used acrylic a lot in the past and have watered it down, but the glazing does create a much stronger effect than watercolour would. My tip is the smoother the layers the better because once there's texture it's harder to work on top of to get a smoother shape/line

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much! Oo yeah, I think that would help. My watercolour paper has a bit of texture to it which wasn't ideal!

[@elizahafferkamp8543]

Ugh! I just did my cover page yesterday for December! Totally would've done this as well, but I'll just push it to January 😛

[@PlantBasedBride]

I’m sure the cover page you created is amazing!

[@lindahigham5317]

Good afternoon 👋☺️ Plant Based Bride 🌹 Wow I love your December layouts you are blessed to have seen the lights as I have not yet but to some night I love you take the time to learn facts and then share them with me thank you for that too stay safe and be careful 🙏✍️🖌️🎨💌🌹👋 enjoy your weekend too 👍🦄☺️

[@PevarAvel]

Amazing setup Elizabeth, thank you so much for the video!! I will definitely recreate this one. My husband and I went to Iceland last summer, that was the most beautiful trip I never did, but it was outside of the Aurora season. We definitely plan to go back there to see the Aurora. Thanks a lot again!!

[@arikas_designs23]

I loved this set up! I did the same northern lights theme for last year with December and I did purple to blue gradients with my colors. But the true teal at the bottom of your set up is my favorite! The facts are amazing! I never knew Neptune my favorite planet had the Aurora's.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oo how pretty! I didn’t have any purple paint so I decided against it but that sounds amazing ❤️

[@weislang]

Your paintings are beautiful. I have seen the Northern lights that look like your painting before you added the color; they looked like white, fuzzy fingers. I've never seen them in color. I hope to someday!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oh yes I’ve heard of this happening! I haven’t seen them but it sounds so interesting. I hope you’ll see them again!

[@Lovely-sv1ye]

Oh my goodness, this is stunning! ✨

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw thanks 🥰

[@firesoul5277]

15:00 I use a tombow dual brush marker to mark the weekend days and the wednesdays so its easier to follow. I too prefer the box overview of the month and find those marks to help when I use the lines in my proud about trackers or things I write down in a line style rather than the boxes. Also make my habit tracker that way with boxes and then add a colour to the wednesday and weekend days.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oh nice, that’s a great idea!

[@chaXolon]

It is amazing to watch and to listen 😊

[@k8614g]

literally jaw dropping

[@PlantBasedBride]

I've only seen it once and it was amazing. I really enjoyed the NaNo-vlog. I am participating myself so I love that type of content. ;) Thanks for sharing.

[@booksandlifewithlaura2143]

Your three paintings are beautiful 🌌

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

[@hannahbrookswithmagic9711]

I’m doing it in gouache. I’ve never seen the northern lights but I’d love to. I have really bad panic attacks and live in a city suburb. I need all the nature and beauty of the world. I’m also going to use the finetec water colors to create a more fluorescent effect if you know what I mean. Hanukkah is next week so a blick trip is one of my presents. I’ve been wanting to paint the northern lights. So glad I’m subscribed to you. Cause I’ve wanted to do it forever. ❤️

[@dipashreejoshi5220]

🌌🌌 Amazing theme! Loved the way you executed it! Also more blog type content also please 🙂

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much!

[@SomniiLinn]

I live in northern Norway, and this far north we get to see the Aurora regularly throughout the winter - and I never get bored of it! Equally awe-inspiring every single time. Do you believe this painting technique would work with gouache? You did an amazing job with it, and I can't believe YT failed me by not showing me this back in December!

[@reenathomas4922]

🌬 Love the lessons. Keep’m coming.

[@cryptidvvitch]

Did you know that we have our own lights down here in Australia? The Aurora Australis isn't common but with the right conditions it can be seen ❤

[@FrancieliPerez]

This look stunning, I wanna recreate it so badly 😍😍😍

You should go for it!

How do you think of such amazing, creative themes every month?! Incredible! xx

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw thank you! I do my best ❤️

I also had to adjust my December spread so it would fit in my journal. I'm hoping it works out the way I did it. I just used some craft paper because I was too tired to do anything elaborate lol

I absolutely love how the Northern Lights came out in this month's journal set-up! Seeing the Aurora Borealis has been on my bucket list. Thanks for daring to venture into New territory with a new medium. It turned out spectacular! Also, I enjoy hearing the educational parts of your videos too. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much, and same to you! ❤️❤️

[@CocoaHerBeansness]

In Scottish Gaelic we call the Northern Lights Na Fir-chlis (meaning 'Nimble Folk') and are among the ancestors who weren't allowed to become angels when Christianity came to Scotland so they fell back to earth. those who were dashed on the rocks became echoes, those who landed in the churning sea became selkie folk (seal-like fairies), and those who stayed in the sky became Na Fir-chlis or the Northern Lights. They tend to get riled up by the dancing and music so they start fighting for fun. bloodstones or heliotrope found in the Hebrides are thought to be spots of their blood from their worn feet and wounds.

[@anniepantheraleo]

This is so stunning! Btw I loved the nanowrimo vlog, would love to see more!

@@PlantBasedBride definitely! your January theme inspired me to do a more simplistic version of it in my own journal and experiment with watercolors, so it would be pretty symbolic for me to also close out the year with a recreation using acrylic!
