Unconventional skypractise
A couple of nights ago we had the most amazing northern light. (Aurora Borealis) I thought I could try painting this. The difficulty is that since we have no snow left the ground is almost pitchblack at night. Of course I could make it a snowscene, but I wanted to try without.
2 attempts were made.
Tell me if you find it believable that it is actually night?

First one. But the sky is wrong here..

Second. And here I more pleased with the sky. But does it read as night?

Love these Seija, indeed the second is more real.
I think your wash was there more liquid.
The board on an angle, and using gravity on a wet surface, pigments can make awesome effects.
But find out some yellow and blue pigments in a mix spread better.

Spreaders, collectors and biters.
