Create A Northern Lights Resin Table & Coasters: Step-by-Step Tutorial

The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is a natural phenomenon known for its vibrant colors that seem to dance across the night sky - an effect that has captivated onlookers and artists for generations.

In this tutorial, Vonka demonstrates how to recreate the Aurora’s glowing effect using ArtResin and her signature Magic Pigments, guiding you through each step from panel prep to precisely timed pours.

ArtResin has a 40-minute working window before it begins to thicken, however to create her Northern Lights effect, Vonka intentionally lets the tinted resin thicken beyond this point.  She carefully times each step, using the thick consistency to her advantage so that the resin stays exactly where she wants it.

For the best results, Vonka recommends reading the important notes about thickened resin and following each step exactly, as the timing and materials are key to success.
