In this article I show how to create satisfying Neurographic artwork beginning with simple shapes (like circles and triangles) that are then intersected with undulating lines.
Much of the relaxation achieved from Neurographic art making is in the process of turning all the sharp “V’s” where lines intersect into “U’s”, so that all the areas of the artwork end up with smooth curvy areas. This activity is sooooo soothing for the psyche!
“Neuro-Phase 2” is a neurographic style watercolor painting on paper by artist Tristina Dietz Elmes.
Some of the things you will learn include:
line effects of different pens and markers
testing permanence of the lines on various paper surfaces
my favorite ways to add color to the cells created by this process
adding dimension by lifting paint off after applying
and more…
