Painting the Northern Lights in Watercolor: A Student's Journey
Episode 76
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
In this conversation, I sit down with student Gloria Andison to talk about her journey painting the Northern Lights in watercolor. Gloria shares how she transitioned from acrylic to watercolor, what it took to let go of control, and how learning to paint with atmosphere helped her express light, mood, and movement more freely. We talk about trusting water, embracing softness, and finding confidence through an expressive approach to landscape painting. This is a thoughtful, inspiring conversation for artists interested in atmosphere, emotion, and growth in watercolor. This conversation reflects ideas explored in my Atmospheric Landscapes course, which focuses on light, mood, and expressive simplicity in watercolor. Website Facebook Page
