#midnightsun — Public Fediverse posts

When you're this far north, and it's *always* bright crisp daylight with snowflakes drifting through the air...and *this* is midsummer, you feel like you're slipping beyond the Earth as our ancestors knew it...

Taken in Longyearbyen one June: "Midnight in the Shadow World".

There's nothing else like it; this time of the year when the sun circles higher and higher overhead, 'til even at its lowest...it's still broad daylight. My capture from Longyearbyen, "Midnight in the Shadow World".

When the clock strikes 12, it's as dark as it's going to get...and the sun is still high and bright. My capture from where the arctic truly begins: "Midnight in the Shadow World".

Decided to clear my mind a bit by #painting by the light of the #midnightSun.
Went with my take on what I remembered from an Easy Misty Forest painting tutorial by TheFrugalCrafter Lindsay Weirich on YouTube.
It's not quite finished; I'd like to add another tree in the foreground, as well as some foliage around the top and edges, but the mosquitoes are starting to eat me up... and I'd like these layers to fully dry before adding the final ones.

Painted with a mix of #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh and #Panduro water colour paints on 180 grammes woodfree aquarelle A5 paper from #Dekorima / #Colart Sweden.

Paper buckles a bit too much from the water; I guess I should go with thicker paper, but it blends a lot better than on the cheap Nassau Fine Art aquarelle paper pad I'd been using lately.
