I like this picture for a Christmas card. I've made hand-painted Christmas cards last several years and look for ideas where I can find them. I haven't painted the Northern Lights before. Thanks for the idea.

I was waiting for this eagerly.....

OMG, Mamo, it looks so magical, exactly as the beautiful Aurora. 😍 It’s my favourite view I did already more than 10 attempts on it, but Hey, 😅 They are never enough 😅 Thank you for the new idea. Love your content so much. Thank you 🙏💕

Really NICE Northern Lights - expert use of brush!

"It's your painting afterall" Best line!!

I am a beginner and I just finished following your tutorial. I am amazed with how it turned out. Thank you so much for giving me confidence to try it out and to not give up when my painting looked like absolutly nothing at the beginning. Took me one hour but it was one hour well spent.

I tried this today and took your advice on trying with 100% cotton paper. It came out fantastic and I really love the end product. Thank you so much.

I recently invested in some artist grade watercolour paints and natural fibre brushes and I'm super glad I did. I don't have to fight the paint to get it to do what I want. I'm working on getting affordable cotton watercolour paper

The tips, the trick and each and everything you do in your video are so impressive and soo cool and this is awesome 💗

I loved it so much I can't stop staring at it💞

Your art is very awesome and I like that you just not show your art you also show others how to make such an awesome art Love from India
