How to make Arctic Art

What you’ll need…

Thick white paper (watercolour paper if possible)
Sponge
Paints and paint brushes
Pencil
Black paper or card
Scissors
Glue

Step 1

First, wet your paper with a sponge. This will help the colours spread and bleed across the paper.

Step 2

Looking at the pics (top of page) for inspiration, apply paint to the wet paper to create a swirling Arctic sky lit up with the Northern Lights!

Step 3

Try swiping some of the wet paint away with a dry sponge to create streaks of light. When you’re happy with the effect, leave it to dry.

Step 4

Using a piece of black paper the same width as your painting, draw the outline of some pine trees or mountains using a pencil.

Step 5

Carefully cut around this outline, then stick it onto the painting to finish off your magical scene!

Top tip: if you really put your art skills to the test, see what different things you can include in your silhouette! Maybe a bird on the tree top? Or a wolf on the mountain?!
