Description Acrylic on Canvas.

I admitt I don't like how this turned out . It's ok, but I am not content. I don't like acrylic that much! It dries to quick and does not mix well . But it was my first time I used it on canvas or that much at all. I also do not like that I see where the hairs came off the brush and stuck to the paint .
And it was a pain in the butt to take a halfway decent picture of this! I tried the past three days in various lighting, but either the colors did not come out good or he light hit only certain sections. So today I went out in the rain and tried with some natural light, which kind of worked .

Originally I wanted to paint this to hang up in my office at work. Before I had a large photograph of the aurora that I took in Iceland, but the photo was completely bleached after a year .
Anyway, since I knew I would switch jobs I never took this with me to work. It is now hanging in our living room.

I had the idea, that this could be a part of a country in the north of my world 'Tirnaran'.

It reminds me of our trips to Iceland and the wonderful polar nights with lots of stars on a deep black sky and the beautiful aurora.Β Β

. I will never get tired of the aurora ! But I am rather thinking about cold freezing nights in Skyrim when I see that .

It is beautiful, especially the horizon, I do understand your frustration though, I have
done quite a few acrylics...and you will find none in my folders here.(that says it all)

I have to say that you did a nights sky wonderfully, your star clusters and atmosphericΒ 
gases are more then believable.

It's nice and colorful.I think it turned out well. But if you don't feel it that acrylic is your technique, then there are other paint types you can use on canvas. :3 I'm glad you could take a photo! ^^

I think I am rather into oil paint even if that is a greater mess. But I have a bunch of acrylic colors, so I will definitely use them, too. At the moment I just don't feel like doing stuff on canvas. I haev a bunch of canvas left, but that shall wait until I feel liek it again .
Thank you !

it is really, really nice! The sky looks like some rifts were opening to set it ablaze, and the shading of the mountains is also very good!
