Watercolor + Gouache: Northern Lights and Purple Night Sky

Watercolor + Gouache: Northern Lights and Purple Night Sky

This class is all about the magical, snowy winter, just as I remember it from my childhood. I remember the walks in the forest and admiring the old tall pine trees bending under the weight of the snow. Well, now it is not what is used to be (snow-wise), so I decided to bring a little bit of this winter to you.

In this class we are going to paint two watercolor landscapes, or illustrations, and on top of watercolor we will be using a white gouache for the snow covering the trees.

We will explore wet on wet and wet on dry techniques to paint the night sky - one will be purple and blue and another one featuring some lovely, glowing northern lights, or Aurora Borealis.

We will talk about the way to draw a simple fir tree, but if you are interested in the topic, here are my other two classes on how to draw and paint trees in watercolor.

This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate level.

We have two class projects in this class, in the first one we will paint the sky with northern lights using wet on wet technique, in the other one we will paint wet on dry and create some lovely, purple winter sky.

These little illustrations can be a nice gift to someone, to frame and display, or they would also make a wonderful winter greeting cards.
