Alternative Aurora Borealis

First...

Using crayon resist details for snowflakes, shadows, birds...

First strokes may be too light.. 

Let slightly sit & dry, then reapply. 

Second strokes after drying slightly to make darker...

The details-

Draw in details with crayons. Later the water paint will resist the wax color. So, white Crayon stars and snowflakes will

Remain. You will need to use lots of pressure to ensure the resist. 

Painting-

Using black, magenta, blue and green, 

Use diagonal, vertical or swirl strokes for the sky.
