In this video art lesson I cover the basics of blending bright and vibrant colors using many layers of acrylic paint. I used various paint brushes which I cover throughout the painting. To paint the stars I used a sewing needle dipped in paint.
Materials used:
- Golden fluid acrylic paint (titanium white, carbon black, primary cyan, magenta, light blue permanent, brilliant yellow green, primary green)
- Water for mixing into the paints (thinning) and washing brushes
- 16x20" stretched canvas

I lived in Norway for nearly ten years and never got to see the lights. This is stunning thank you.
Wow, reaaally? Its on my bucket list to go see it! Was thinking from Norway possibly too.
Having lived in Norway for almost 30 years, I've only seen a bright northern light once, but nowhere near as bright as the painting displays.
I lived in Alaska for a year & some them a few times in February.
I seem them every year - that year I was lucky with a amazing video (right time right place...) btw. I live in Norway too but not in Oslo or like that...
Absolutely stunning! You are an inspiration to new painters everywhere !!!! I LOVE THIS. I wish I could buy it!
Thank you! So great to hear that!
This is beautiful! I was born in Canada and have lived in Australia since i was a child. My dream is to visit Canada again and see the northern lights. It doesn't look like that will happen any time soon! I think I will have a go at painting this and put it on my wall to keep the dream alive.
I Have a TBI and PTSD. Thank you for your video. I am using painting as one of my therapies, and this video helped me a lot on my journey. 🖖
I started painting in 2016 when I broke my ankle and was stuck at home. Mostly I do pet portraits, but your northern lights are inspiring!
I'd love a tutorial on that!
hi, I'm a Filipino and I'm a developing artist, recently, I'm frustrated because of some issues in the family and I stop doing anything that involves art, especially painting. But, looking at this stuff, I think it's the best and you inspires me the most... thank you for that...
It would be really helpful for us beginners if along with telling us the style of what brush you are using, you can show the actual brush, so we can see the size & shape and maybe fan the bristles so we can see how stiff or soft it is. Many of my mistakes are in using the wrong brush (I think!)
Same! and i agree :)
Great idéa, i had this problem following a Bob Ross video also didn't help that i don't use oil paint
He does
By far the best northern lights I have ever seen, my husband thought it was a photo when I showed him just shows how amazingly you have brought it to life.Breath taking
Thanks Sam
Это самое красивое северное сияние из всех, что я видела у разных художников. И оно не стилизованное, а реалистичное. Очень красиво!
I love the way you paint. I especially love your northern lights. I have always been a fan of the Alaskan landscape. I really enjoy your tutorials.
You are such an inspiration for me as a beginner painter, I always watch and follow your free tutorials and I have learned a lot . Thank you for sharing your talent.
You are such a great artist.I enjoyed doing this challenging painting with you.
I started painting after retirement an have followed you an a few Luther artist i am turning 80 next year i paint as much as I can an love all of the lessons
I'm determined to do this if it takes me a month!...your absolutely one of the best artists on RUclips..your explanations are really easy to follow...Thank you for this amazing video..
Howd it go
It is so amazing. The way you only use a few colors but are still able to make such depth and incredible detail. Just wow.
This is truly breathtaking. I have been looking for a northern lights painting I love as inspiration for my own and this is by far my favorite depiction I've come across! You did an awesome job!
Thanks Jennifer! That's great to hear, I'll have more like this in the future :)
Hi, I can't find light blue permanent, brilliant yellow green, or primary green online anywhere. Could you please tell me where I can find them or maybe possible substitutes? Thanks!
I have to apologize, those three colors are all Liquitex soft body brand. I mix the liquitex in sometimes as they are pretty much the same thing. There are some equivalent colors that Golden makes but I can't remember the names
I agree! I looked at tutorials by several other artists and the painting of the Northern Lights done by Chuck Black are my favorites. I'm in the middle of attempting to paint this but can't find all the colors mentioned so have improvised. I'm American but live in Ireland and there are no great stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby that carry almost everything color and type of artist paints imaginable!!
I was looking for some winter themed inspiration for paintings to do with a group of assisted living residents as an activity and this it IT. Beautiful: Not insultingly easy, and not so hard that they will be intimidated.
Just started back after almost 30 years of NOT painting...and I am learning like crazy..I am as happy as I used to be when I was young..lol..I'm 55..🥰
It was a very clear and cold night one winter while stationed at Grand Forks, AFB, North Dakota, that I saw the northern lights. It was breathtaking and it was my only time seeing them. I live in SC now and dream of another beautiful sky as this displayed. I just wish the process could be simpler. I used a fine mist of water first then a very thick bluish white and with a soft 2 inch brushed the "curtain" upward and came back with a green wash over the top with darker green and magenta hi-lites. I appreciate the tip of using your wet finger to blend the edges so they don't appear too hard. Thank you.
Went to UND for 4 years, small world. I first saw them myself there as well when we were driving around north of there. Glad I could help, it's probably one of the most difficult things to paint.
Loved the painting before you added the snow, then wow, can't get over the white back ground start. x
Love this painting and you do great videos. I like that you tell us what brush, paint and technique you use.
Ok let me start off by saying that the final result looks stunning. Not that I would know. Because although I followed your instructions, you seemed to be unable to make up your mind about not only the sky, but everything in this video. Why did I have to draw trees in the beginning, only to demolish them for hills, which miraculously sprouted trees? I want you to know, that a simple painting you drew three years ago, has become my demise. I cannot sleep. You can expect a message from my therapist. Good day. I said good day.
Stunning!!! I absolutely love it! You are a gifted young man!
I haven't seen the video yet but I can tell it is one of the amazing things I have ever seen just looking at thumbnail
Sorry Chuck a follow on from your question on night or day shies...I found your northern light videos...wow. Just what I was hoping for thank you
I loved your blending! I am going to try to make it!you are such an inspiration
You are so special! I like your positive way of teaching. Keep it up, please!
Thanks Karin!!!
Sie sind ein absolutes Genie,unschlagbar!
You are most powerful painter artist I know!!!Broh I need teacher like you!!!;(Your colour taste match with my...
Marvellous! I imagine myself being there. It's so peaceful.
Your painting is magical and the northern lights breathtaking thank you!
You're SO incredibly talented, truly inspirational! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills with all of us!!!
Thank you! And welcome!!
My nieces name is Aurora, named for aurora borealis. I really, really want to do a massive painting like this to symbolise my baby niece in my home. I haven’t painted in a long while because my children and I have been going through so much, but I want to get back in to it and become decent enough (I’ve never been good at landscapes of any kind) so that I can do something like this and have it look half way decent! I love my beautiful niece so much, I never got to have a daughter of my own, and I want to symbolise my live for her by making something that not only will be good enough to display in my home, but good enough to one day actually give to her, I’m hoping. I don’t care if it takes me a year to get it right, I’ll do it again and again until it’s perfect! Thank you SO much for this informative video I think it will help me immensely!
how did it go
This is amazing. I recently did a northern lights painting and although it was pretty, I love love love your style! I might have to try this tutorial! Thanks for your awesome video!
Love love your work and teaching xxx
I can’t wait to do this painting! Thank you for your instructional videos! I have learned a tremendous amount from you!

Born and raised Alaskan. Moved away six years ago. I miss the lights. Man! I miss Alaska.
I still live there. 23 years now in AK. Yeah, the Northern Lights never get old.
The most beautiful one I've ever seen.
I liked the result. Thanks for teaching...
So THAT is how you make those tiny stars! I use a small brush and make tiny dots that takes a long time to make it the way I like. (I'm a novice) Amazing painting depicting my favourite thing to watch at night. :) Thanks for making a video on how to do northern lights.
Wow is all I can say. Well...I can also say I LOVE it too. I am new to painting I do portraits like Marilyn in my profile picture. But to paint like that would be wonderful. That won't happen...lol But I will enjoy watching you do your wonderful work. Thanks so much.
Thanks Susan!
That is bloody tremendous. Well done, fantastic 👏

Thank you, I love painting with you!! Wish I could show what I made❤
My northern lights painting looks a wreck-tried another before I saw this vid. Also I’m using glow paint on top of the colors and put Leo constellation stars in background- that’s glowing so I’m happy there😂 though with light on, not a good painting 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ I’ll try yours next. Beautiful 💓
Really awesome painting..i love this types of art..
absolutely breathtaking... thank you for sharing.. You are an inspiration.. will be back to painting soon!!
Wow, this is definitely the best northern lights painting lesson there is.. You just got yourself another fan :)

Gorgeous ! I'm attempting my first Northern Lights acrylic and looking for direction/tips. Ty !
I love your Artwork, my Friend!
thoroughly enjoyed watching that its amazing
Your art is absolutely incredible, I will consider myself lucky if one day I could be half as good as you. So talented 😍
wow man this is amazing! you have a real gift here!the color choice is amazing and you did a really good job explaining it and being yourself! keep it up man!
Thanks Eddie!
So using acrylics and tying to follow along, my problem is that my paints seem to dry extraordinarily fast compared to yours. I see the colors still blending 10 minutes after being laid down. Any advice on that would be extremely helpful. TIA
Maybe you have a higher indoor temperature? You can use a product called Acrylic Retarder. It doesn't make your paint thin, like what happens when you mix paint with water. You can also use a spray bottle of water, if you keep enough distance while spraying it on your canvas, the paint on it stays a bit longer wet!
Same
Wow, absolutely incredible 😀😀
This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your video and your talent!
Thank you !!. You explained it so perfectly!!!
Fabulous painting. Your work is awesome. Thank you.
So beautiful thanks for sharing your talent
this is really beautiful! :D I love your paintings a lot. keep it up ❤

Thanks for sharing your talent, that was awesome! 👏🏻
Wow that's really amazing!❤
Thankyou so much! Clear instructions and great style!
you are such an awesome guy!!..New subsciber here!!!from the northern light capital of the world!!!YELLOWKNIFE!!
Multumesc pentru lectie, imi place mult .
I tried this but for some reason really struggle to blend. My paints seen thick so I added a little water and they turn into the same mucky colours. I'm so frustrated with art lol. Gawd knows how you get that kind of pastel soft blend. I feel like I'm painting with poster paint. Good on you though, you have awesome skills!
Its so important to Let ur paint dry between sections. Then slowly lighten and darken your base colors. Its layering and layering and practice. Don't give up. Keep trying.
It's beautiful!!!!! Awesome job!
I love this.. Would love to have this painting
Nice. Love it
I've never done acrylic painting before as I use soft pastels. I thought I would give this a try. Oh my god I've made such a mess, I just want to cry. I've now got so much paint on my canvas I think it's now bullet proof. 😪
I love the painting!
Beautiful colors!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Beautiful!! Love all of the colors.
You are awesome bro
If you ever come to Dallas I want to go on a coffee date with youuuuu. You are admired from far away! -H
You paint very beautiful!
The painting is awesome
I love it
I am making this wish me best of luck
Beautiful!
Stunning!
wonderfully done
Hey -Bob Ross- Chuck! Nice painting!
Ima try this. So pretty.. ❤
I got nervous in the beginning of the video because the colors started shifting on the board ... I am sick and I need help :(
Thank you for the tutorial I was doing my first northern lights painting and I did not like it so I wiped it off and I was looking for a good tutorial .. your video was all that I needed with the color palette I had in mind .. I will try you method with oil color though wish me luck 🙌🏻
So nice and stunning
Beautiful painting!
Your paintings contain magic :-o Seriously, I've rarely seen something so beautiful. **Hits subscribe button and will be watching your every brush stroke from now on**
I appreciate it that a lot! Thank you again!
You're most welcome once again :) There are barely any painters out there these days who create images like yours. I'm always desperately searching for those because I love that style of art ^_^ And besides that everyone's painting with oils here on youtube, and when you're painting with acrylics like I do it's hard to find people you can learn from.
Your videos also helped me with my struggle in painting northern lights that always turned out crappy here. :) So also a Thank You from me to you for putting up videos here :)
I love this video so mutch
I love this its so beautiful, looks like a photo,necer used some of your colors !
Thank you Angela!
That is very very beautiful
