- I have fallen in love with this new form of art called Neurgraphic art. It has brought me so much joy and comfort that I’ve been creating non-stop… and because I know how much we all need some peaceful moments nowadays I want to share this discovery with you.
But WHAT IS NEUROGRAPHIC ART?

I've doodled like this for years. My notes in school were full of shapes like this. I rarely had colors available, so I used different types of lines to fill, such as crosshatches or lines in different directions. Of course, using colors was more fun.
Same here! ✌️❤️🙏
Ditto
I again make words or letters
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope 🤞 this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world 🌎 I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?
@@br8kadawn Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope 🤞 this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world 🌎 I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?
I’ve done something similar to this since I was a child. Very relaxing and you can do it anywhere with minimal supplies.
yes totally me too I think it was the mindfulness part of rounding the edges that connects it all. I took my supplies on my trip recently it was great!
I've done something like this also using colored pencils or crayons. Really like the water colors!
Colored pencils work so great for this because of the repetitions of the medium. Love this.
I've been doodling on envelopes and news papers(over print) gum rappers and whatever else since I was a a teenager aswell in same way
Me too!
I've been doing this for about 45 years, so think the 'totally new' isn't quite how I'd describe it.
However it is depicted, passing it on to people who haven't done this before is a good thing 😃
yes me too, I did it as a kid, the concept here is to connect it to mindfulness and transform negative thoughts into positive by awaking our subconscious mind and helping our body feel relaxed and at peace.
I hear you..I've been doing it for about 30 myself.. if she helps someone passing it along,helps them vent,possibly avoid the need for therapy,I find myself in deep meditation doodling as I have over the years and have had some life changing ideas or answers I didn't ask for come to me during the drawing..Art has,can and will change the world ✊🏽🌎
I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers this from years ago, when I saw the thumbnail I recognized something I first learned in grade school some years ago, I still do this when I am creatively "stuck",it is freeing and fun to do.
@BA Pike yep.
me too! i did this in high school in the 1990s, my art teacher HATED it! so glad it has finally found it's place
I did this as a child in the 1960’s - with crayons! No one taught me how to do it; I just made it up.
I used the black to make the scribbles, and then colored in the shapes with whatever color made me feel good. No thought of balance or the number of shapes that had which color. It just made me happy to color in the shapes. I did this as an elementary school child into my high school years.
Thank you for triggering this memory.
yes me too, I did it as a kid and it brings back so many memories, the concept here is to connect it to mindfulness and transform negative thoughts into positive by awaking our subconscious mind and helping our body feel relaxed and at peace.
Oh my goodness, yours is just about the same story as mine! Lots of us did this, apparently, not realizing the benefits! 🙂
Yes me too. Just scribble all circles etc and colour them in all different colours with crayons. Used to do them all the time or the patterns with a compass.
Exactly, me too .. I'm not sure anyone can actually claim to have "invented" it .. it seems a natural thing that many children/adults do. I've been doing it for years and I'm now in my 60's!.
Same here
I am a Care Assistant at a home of primarily Dementia Residents & have been doing similar to this with them for activities, my plan is to help each Resident to create a small card filled with their own design/colours, then put these all together to form a 'patchwork quilt' type of effect which we can display for everyone to enjoy! xx
that's amazing! you're amazing for doing this with them Erika
That's such a great idea. You could gift a print of their art pieces to their loved ones as well, I'm sure it would be a treasured item to some.
I'm a 59 yr old woman from the U.S. I remember as far back as 1st grade I, & all most of my classmates used to do this constantly using notebook paper, pencils, & pens. I am so going to try doing this again & see what wonderful new memories I can come up with. Thank you for sharing.
hello from one year later! did you try it?
Sammeee. I used to draw "amoebas" which were similar shaped. We learnt in science class. I'm SO going to do this again. Thank you
As an art therapist I used the scribble and color process and found it relaxing. I really like the addition to it of rounding off all sharp corners. I can see how that would make a big difference on a subconscious level. I have to get back to doing more of this. Thanks for sharing it.
thank you so much for sharing this. I wish everyone was taught it this way especially kids and teens that have been cooped up at home in the past 2 years dealing with anxiety
Rae Ann do you help your patients realize their feelings and the needs that they signal? Do you coach them on how to meet their needs?
@@KerenTamir thats an understatement. I hope so also.
I'm recovering from brain surgery so this would be a perfect way to help me and my brain heal!! Going to give this a try as my usual mixed media mojo has disappeared lately. Thanks for sharing and all the best to you in 2022.
Abby yes this might really help you! I know that the psycologist who created it mentioned that it can help with the inner connections in the brain as well.... meaning while you're doing it on the outside it happens as well in the inside
I’m also recovering from brain surgery and having trouble with creativity and learning new skills. This looks like a nice gateway back to being more like my old self
Back in 2008, I had a brain hemmorhage which also affected my ability to create freely. It was Zentangles getting me back to being creative without overthinking. It still is different from the work I did before, and there are times, I mourn the loss of my old abilities, but all in all I am happy to create again.
I'm an art therapist, if you're curious, try bilateral drawing for brain injury/recovery. An art material in each hand and try and mirror the scribbles/flow as you make marks on the surface. It helps integrate the two hemispheres of the brain.
thank you so much for sharing this here.... and for the ladies of sharing their story.... I'm so glad there's something that can help people this way and how we are all connected and help each other... sending love to all of you!
I used this in Art Psycotherapy , it was very soothing and helped a lot. We called it Taking a line for a walk. 💫
oh I love that, I wish it was taught to everyone to help them with stress
@@KerenTamir it helped with my Childhood trauma. I still do it when triggers are bashing me or stressed. It’s so therapeutic . Thank you 🙏🏻🤍🕊❤️💫
Great line
Aww lol love that.."Taking a line for a walk "brilliant!
Wow, I have been doing a version of this for years (I started when I was 14 about 40 years ago) and never knew it was a thing. I just automatically do it. Good to know how beneficial it is. Glad you have found this too.
Me too. 🙂
yes me too and so I think connecting it together with something that can help us feel relax and focused its a new form of mindfulness....
Too bad right? You could have named it! You could have sold the “Sarah Technique” to millions.
art has been named and renamed for years in different forms. I've been doodling since i was a kid but its the transformation from stress to positivity that is key here.
me too, didnt have a name, still do this
I see a lot of people saying this already, but this is something I’ve done for years. The Zentangle craze actually made me a little sad, as I’ve been drawing/doodling like that for over 22 years and giving them as bookmarks or the like. I am happy to see it’s helping calm and relax though!
Fun tip: start with a bunch of smaller, oddly shaped squares, triangles, etc and round out the corners the same you did here. If you use blues and add the little ‘ shine it’ll look like a bunch of water droplets. Use gem tones to make it look like a treasure hoard.
My dad was a physician and used to "doodle" every night while he watched TV and unwound from the stress of the day...wish I'd given him some colored pens or pencils at some point to brighten up his creations. Thanks for the suggestion
that's so nice that it brings back those memories!! thanks for sharing!
I've been making this kind of artwork for almost 50 years...it is very relaxing and fun to do.
yes me too, I did it as a kid, the concept here is to connect it to mindfulness and transform negative thoughts into positive by awaking our subconscious mind and helping our body feel relaxed and at peace.
Wow, I didn't realize that's the
name of art I've been creating
for over five decades!!! 😊💚
yes me too, I did it as a kid, the concept for me here is to connect it to mindfulness and transform negative thoughts into positive by awaking our subconscious mind and helping our body feel relaxed and at peace. That's what changed for me!
I've done paintings like this since I was a little kid.... never knew I was creating inner peace ☺️
I know, right?
Maybe that's why my inner peace hasn't been hanging around for a while, cuz I stopped doing this awhile back.😂
I've recently been having a lot of art block until this popped up on my recommended and really helped me! Thank you so much not only does it make some beautiful art, but it also helps me relieve stress❤️
that's exactly right.... and I'm so glad it has helped you.... thank you so much it means so much to me
I learned this is one of my Art Therapy classes some years ago. It was very relaxing and freeing.
yes it is! I actually want to suggest it for my therapist to use... i think it will help other so much!
Started this style when I was in nursery school. I didn’t mix well with other kids so I did a lot of coloring. Although we didn’t have sharpies back then. Love your color choices. Thank you for sharing. 🌞🌞🌞
I do this without even knowing what it’s called. It’s very therapeutic 👌👌👌
Yes sure is
When I was a kid half a century ago we did these all the time and called them scribble patterns.
yes me too, I did it as a kid, the concept here is to connect it to mindfulness and transform negative thoughts into positive by awaking our subconscious mind and helping our body feel relaxed and at peace.
@@KerenTamir Yours are certainly more sophisticated and some very interesting techniques.Something for the grandkids and ok, maybe nana too.
Wow... I've been doing this my whole life! Never knew it was a thing. And yes.... it works. Very relaxing... thanks for sharing! I learned something today! Thank you!
You are so welcome so glad to hear you've always found it relaxing and helpful. I wish I would have known about it earlier. I always doodled but never connected it with mindfulness and it has helped me so much
LOVE THIS!! Never heard of it. Reminds me of starting a Zentangle string, just no patterns. This is partly why I started zentangling years ago - stress. TOTALLY get why this would be relaxing. GREAT video chickie!!! And ROCKING art. 😘😍🎨
thank you my friend its very similar to Zentangle's philosophy. a lot of art schools combine both together when I did my research. it was so so relaxing!
@@KerenTamir Ya, zentangling and the freedom of it is the MOST relaxing for me. This is fun - love that you shared this!
I'd love to see a combination of the two in your art!
what is zentangling?
@@marjoriegarner5369 it's mediative drawing using patterns within shapes. Same basic idea dividing your area into random shapes but using patterns rather than blocks of color. A bit more involved but relaxing none the less.
We did this type of art all through elementary school (and that was in 1959)- particularly, when the teacher did not have any project planned for art day!
I hate to disagree with the time frame I did this as a kid and I'm 74, it's still beautiful art
Anne definitely me too the concept is more about connecting the mind and body through mindfulness. Every art has been done before but this one specifically helps us focus and relax...
I remember learning this in art class , jr. high 1969…. Our teacher was “ alternative “ ( for ‘69!) and this was our Relaxation art. My mother called it hippy stained glass…. Lol.
I just want to weigh in on this comment. I too remember this from art class and it was my favorite art class. However, the teacher didn't mean for it to be therapy. In this video we are guided what to think about, how to round out any sharp corners, etc. What we did in school was art doodling, not training our brain to heal therapy. I look forward to trying this method of healing. Wondering if we can use pencil crayons? Thanks Karen, for this video!❤️
thank you so much for saying it as its exactly right I loved doodling and doing this when I was a kid and in my notebooks as a teenager during class but its the therapeutic value that it brings that is the key here and setting the intention in a certain way. and yes you can use pencil crayons, watercolor pencils, even actual crayons. anything goes
I used to do something very similar when I was a child and I also taught my daughter to do the same thing. So I'm not sure quite how new this is. But it is fun
yes me too, I did it as a kid, the concept here is to connect it to mindfulness and transform negative thoughts into positive by awaking our subconscious mind and helping our body feel relaxed and at peace.
Thank you for making this video. I suffer from Complex PTSD and severe anxiety as well as depression. It really helps me. especially when I feel overwhelmed and scared and my mind seems to get stuck on certain situations, events haunting me from the past in childhood This seems to help quiet my mind a lot. God bless you 🙏 always.
I'm so sorry you suffer so much, and yes this helps to quiet the mind... talking to someone has helped me too. I talk about it in one of my videos how I sought help from a therapist and it made a huge difference. sending love and blessings!
I’ve been drawing like this for a long time but much more intricate. It does feel very meditative.
yes me too, I did it as a kid, the concept here is to connect it to mindfulness and transform negative thoughts into positive by awaking our subconscious mind and helping our body feel relaxed and at peace.
I, like many others here, have been doing a variation on this for decades- since I was a teen. My doodles still often look much the same as they did when I was in high school. I'm left wondering whether some of us- those of us who have some inclination towards art, have organically developed this is a coping mechanism. I grew up with undiagnosed ADHD and a lot of insecurities, and I could see this as something I adapted to help soothe me and occupy my whirring mind. So interesting. Thank you for sharing!
I think you're onto something there.
yes that could be true Sheila
I used to do this with crayons when I was a little girl! (This would have been back in the sixties. ) The only thing I didn't do was round the corners. I loved the randomness of it.
Yours are beautiful!
thank you so much!! the rounding of the corners is one of the most relaxing parts.. there's something about it, that I can't explain, but it transforms something in my brain!
Yes, I meant to add that I like the effect of rounding the corners very much. I remember as a child not feeling comfortable with those sharp angles in the design but not knowing how to change them. Very nice what you do!
Wow! I started doing this exact technique spontaneously about two years ago. I had no idea it had a name or was a specific technique. I too was super stressed then with work and senior citizen care responsibilities and could not focus on my normal realistic art style. This just came up for me using pen and watercolor and I loved it. So cool to know it has an official name. Thanks for sharing this.
That’s amazing. I’m so glad you found it helpful. So great for all of us to have a tool.
When I was in elementary school(40yrs ago) we used to do this in art. It was great fun!. My mom had ms and I moved in with my parents in2009. We did some coloring together. I had a notebook that I could slide a picture in and I remembered this. When my mom saw it, she thought it was spectacular. It's a great memory I have. I don't remember rounding corners; so that's something new to try. Thank you for making this new and for the memory it brought me. I wish you well
I've done something similar since always...but just lately I've got the habit of rounding corners and I didn't knew why until now...it really feels like I'm transmuting the hard and pointy stuff into something more bearable and possible to deal with... thanks so much for sharing this! I guess I would never realized it if I haven't watched your video. Art is so amazing!
yes the way you described it is exactly right the rounding makes it more bearable both the lines and in our own life.
This isn't a new art form I've been doing this since the sixties. I guess they just gave it a fancy name! Very relaxing.
yes its not the art form that is new but the connection of the art with mindfulness and consciously connect body and mind...
What a wonderful idea .I’m definitely going to give this a try . I feel it might even help with a creative block . Thank you 🙏 for sharing Karen . God Bless
yes this might be the thing to unblock it as it makes you so relaxed and at peace with everything around you.. if you create one I'd love to see it... share or tag me please!
Love 💕 I have done this type of process for years with my pre-k/ grade school groups. The adults always want to participate too! Thanks for sharing the therapeutic side of this. Everyone needs art in their life.
you're absolutely right Elizabeth.... this is great for all ages!
As an art teacher, I've had elementary kids do this.....very colorful and fun.
Very interesting. I am an artist with fibromyalgia since childhood, and the only time my entire body does not hurt is when I am PAINting. I always wondered where the word came from.
same I've has arthritis since I was 18 and this form of art helped me so much being able to connect mind and body!
This is fantastic. You did a terrific job walking through the process in a way that makes an emotional connection. I love how you wove art and the psychology of it together.
thank you so much! Janille... glad to hear!
this looks likes lots of fun. i love bright colors
Wow….I can’t believe this was “created in 2014”. When my art teachers 35 yrs ago had us doing this in elementary.
yes me too, I did it as a kid, the concept here is to connect it to mindfulness and transform negative thoughts into positive by awaking our subconscious mind and helping our body feel relaxed and at peace.
Hi. I hope you get this message. I rediscovered art and painting. I’m not great, but it feels good. I’ve been at it for a couple weeks… just felt good. Painting and making “ bad art” feels amazing. I found this video and I tried this. Please know I am in love. In peace and in gratitude…. I run to this when my mind heart hurts and I find I am easily brought to a state of relaxation or meditation. Literally saved my life… sounds dramatic but it’s true. Thank you for learning this and sharing. This has impacted my life in the most amazing way… thank you for helping in my healing 🌺 💐
I'm so so glad to hear! I do the same because its not just about doodling its about connecting to something in your subconscious! thank you so much!
Interesting. As a child, I would be given a 64 count box of crayons each Christmas. (it was what made Christmas for me!) First thing I would draw would be loops and curves with the black, using each crayon in turn to color in only one loop - I did not count the loops as I drew, but hoped I would have enough for each crayon but not too many to have to duplicate.
When I took basic art class in college, the class was frustrating me, we had to draw without looking at our paper, other (in my mind) ridiculous things per the instructor...I was losing my love of art. So, the professor asked me what brought me joy, and I told her of my crayon coloring...I was then 'assigned' to do just that once again...it brought back my joy in art. I didn't mind the corners, I enjoyed making each color shaded differently regardless of the shape. Anyway, this reminded me of that time...I now make all occasion greeting cards. I think I might do some of this for cards too. Thank you! Blessings.
thank you for sharing your story! many art teachers didn't recognize things in their students and only accepted their way of art... that's also why I don't love fine art because its too confined and I like the freedom mixed media gives me.
@@KerenTamir I understand that very well! Thank you for this inspiration. Blessings!
I love this! Thank you for sharing this discovery, I’m ready to do one of my own now. 🌸
it is so freeing and relaxing! if you make it I'd love to see it!!
It is so beautiful Karen, I am going to give it a try rate now, I’ve been really struggling the last two years with the constant fevers, pain and inflammation, the doctors can’t figure out what is going on with my body, I really need to escape and somehow calm my body down, maybe this can help me find some relief, thank you so much Karen for sharing your talents and love of art, you truly are an inspiration
Dearest Kari, I'm so sorry you've had so much suffering in your life.... I send you many blessings and may you find some calm and relaxation for your body and wishing you healthy blessings too
Ive been doing this type of doodling since I was little. It helped relieve anxiety and stress, and I still use it today! I'm glad I can finally put a name to it now! Thank you! :)
I always doodled and did this while reflecting or daydreaming as a child but not with serious artistic flair just it was what I was doing. It's quite cool to see what a sophisticated thing it can become especially as my mom thought I was wasting my paper haha. Maybe I will return to it now as an adult
art is never a waste!! but we've been indoctrinated to think that. I doodled in my notebooks in school all the time it was so relaxing!
I like to doodle then turn the page around to see if looks anything - a crocodile, a teapot and create these from simple shapes and textures. Must try to do this for 5 mins a day ❤️
yes that's what I've been doing trying to do it daily! as it helps me so much!
Oh my goodness. I am shooketh. I intuitively do this and have done this since I was a kid. I use it to help me focus and study and to relax and drown out the racing thoughts. I even used to teach my pre school students to do the lines. When it was time to unwind before naptime, I dimmed the lights, turned on soft music, and they would gather around (the ratio was only 8 kids to a teacher) and watch me use different techniques and colors to fill in all the negative spaces. They always went down without a fuss, woke up rejuvenated, and the parents loved the artwork. I would sign them with the child's name and mine. I even had one family that would have them matted and always brought them back in to show me!
I love that it's a whole thing now!
yes that's exactly it because its not just about doodling its about connecting to something in your subconscious! thank you so much!
My Mother would make these types of drawings for us kids to color in. She would hang them up on the fridge. I am 74 years old and am glad to see this art form has a name.
Keep doing you ❤️🏆

@@fionamckay you're so welcome!
@@janinemills6732 you're welcome!
I was thought that in elementary school. Take a figure 8 into your desired infinity. Then, color… Hahahahaha ☮️❤️🙂
Looks similar to what I used to do to just fiddle and relax with whatever art supply I had as a kid. Mostly crayons and colored pencils, I suspect. What a grand relaxation technique and I love the idea of using our watercolor markers. Your examples flow so nicely. All relaxed now? Happy New Year, Keren to you and the fam.
thank you and Happy New Year to you as well!!
Love this technique. I used to do this with my students in after hours school years ago, I never heard about the inventor but I just loved scribbling with them, they loved it .
I truly believe it can help many people especially children and teen. it can help them keep relaxed and focused
Ohmygosh I've been doing this kind of art intuitively since I was a kid! I even have one of my creations still - it turned into a little person with a heart for a head and stems and leaves for its body lol. Thank you for sharing this, I had no idea it had a name!
Loved seeing this! But it’s not new! My cousin and I did these for hours and hours in the 1960s.
yes me too, I did it as a kid, the concept here is to connect it to mindfulness and transform negative thoughts into positive by awaking our subconscious mind and helping our body feel relaxed and at peace.
This is wonderful. Good for anxiety and depression. Can't wait to get started.
yes it has helped me so much as well!
This is great. My daughter, (I am both sad and happy to say) is in a Methadone program where she was allowed to bring coloring books and pencils to her group meetings. Many others in the group also caught the interest and it helped keep them calmer and less anxious, while still focusing on the program. She has advanced out of those group meetings now, but still finds coloring centering. This world is just moving to fast for most of us to adjust to at times.
yes I believe it can help a lot of people stay calm, relaxed and focused... it really does!!
This was very relaxing to watch too! When I'm drawing my characters , I always like to make the corners less pointing. It's indeed very relaxing! But I'm gonna try and make something more freely like you did in this video! Thanks for teaching this!
that's so amazing! I wish I could draw well... I've tried but I don't have the patience... I feel this free form helps me relax
Wow so impressed by this new art form I'm about to try it out for myself I need more mental and positive emotional stimulation in my life 🧬... I love the concept of the nerve endings being directly connected to the artwork it's a genuine genius 💡 idea.
so glad to hear thank you so much!
This is done really well. Thank you for making it!!
Glad you liked it! thanks!
This is really cool! It's very similar till a technique my grandpa showed me in the early 1960's. Black marker, scribble on page, color in the shapes with different colored markers. :D So much fun!
I've been doing this since I was a child and even have a couple of abstract paintings that I did something like this as the background. Love this
Wow doodles are popular again Yea! I used to do them in school and those dirty rotten teachers stopped me from creating my art! Glad to see someone else was rebellious and won! ❤😊
I doodled a lot in school, on my notebooks etc. Doodles have never gone away but its the connection to your subconscious that is key here.
Definitely trying this, I am having a painter's block as of now lol..this will help..Thank you ❤
this has helped me to create so much artwork. I feel so relaxed when i do it! it might help you with your block. thanks so much!
I love doing these. I created something similar years ago, not having heard about this technique, and found it so satisfying that I have used similar techniques for several more of my drawings and paintings.
Thank you for explaining and sharing this! Your drawing is beautiful - I love the bright colors. 🤗❤️
so glad to hear Renee! Thank you so much
When I was in 4th grade many ,many years ago, I had a teacher called Miss O’Donnell. She used to have us do “crazy drawings” that were exactly what you just drew. We’d color them also. She never explained them as you did, but they were fun.
I'm going to have to try this. Hopefully it will help reduce my stress. I'm also going to get my kids (ages 4-10) to try to do it with me. Thank you for sharing this. Happy New Year.
yes thats a great thing to do... wishing you a happy and healthy new year!!
Gorgeous 🤗
Thank you! 😊
Done this for year to relax; since I was a kid in the 60’s. Great when you just want to relax but not necessarily paint a picture.
I've done this kind of doodling for years but I tend to use straight lines more than rounded. It is relaxing, like a lot of colouring, or art and crafts.
Interesting art method, and good explanation, it seems to be a therapeutic art, and colorful too.
Thank you very much! yes it is John... it has helped me so much for the past few weeks as I've been making them regularly. I can see a difference in myself mentally that I haven't felt before even though I've been doing art for 20 years.
Thank you so much for this video and new art for me. I have chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis and use art to cope with the pain and reduce the stress/anxiety from it. Your work is beautiful, thank you. I also wanted to ask about the art rules you mentioned? Where can you learn these ? I am just someone that plays with arts and crafts but i would love to improve or elevate my work. Never heard of art rules such as you mentioned before. thank you again
thank you Daria, I too suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and us art to cope and heal. I did a video about that a few weeks ago not sure if you saw it: ua-cam.com/video/-pEceNqwnrI/v-deo.html
in terms of the art rules there are different kinds like color theory or composition rules. People go to school for many years to learn those but I just learned them along the way as I don't have an art degree. I feel like watching videos helps a lot as people mentioned them. You might be able to google it too. but there's not one place for all the rules. Its mainly doing things from your heart and intuition without fear!! what kind of things you struggle with creatively?
Thank you so much for sharing this! I run across an ad for this recently and now I feel like I have a better sense of what it's all about because of your video. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!!!! this is a very basic and easy way of understanding it but there are more involved methods and courses that are taught elsewhere
This looks like a lot of fun! Especially for people like me who love markers and coloring but aren't artists and can't really draw. Great video!
I totally agree! I always found drawing or painting stressful as it was too technical and I need freedom.
This is perfect timing for many an issue all mental health related. Thank you so much for this video I will be doing this shortly. Cheers cherieK 🌈🦋🐿🇦🇺
thank you Cherie you're exactly right and it came to me at the perfect time when I needed to relax and reduce my stress and so I thought it would help so many others if I shared! if you create one and want to share it with me I'd love to see it!
@@KerenTamir thank you for your reply. I did give it a go after I wrote the comment. But I need to figure out what medium to use or different paper as I tried with my Ecoline markers for some reason they wouldn’t activate with my water brush just went an ugly colour and barely moved So I tried water colours but I’m not great with them.
I’m wondering if it would be good with acrylic paints as they are my preferred medium. Then I thought of using my (Jane Davenport) mermaid markers and Dylusions markers and they didn’t want to move much either (again I think it may of been my watercolour paper was way to thirsty)
Then I thought of just using pencils ( Prisma colour) after that thought I’m thinking maybe trying watercolour pencils might be good too and using either another watercolour paper or mixed media paper because I feel using the images torn up as collage paper would look fabulous as either a focal point or a background on a canvas or just in my art journal.
The paper I started with is prima as it’s the only type I have that is glued both ends so it doesn’t move. I also have Dina Wakleys water paper and journals Dylusions paper and journals and some different types of Tim Holtz paper. And Arches water paper too. Any suggestions would be so helpful.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful videos you’ve put out the ones you speak of your own mental health and health issues really help me a lot. To not only feel less alone you make me feel more “normal”
(For want of a better word)
Cheers cherieK 🦋🌈🐿🇦🇺
Cherie I'm so glad you gave it a go. I do feel that your paper might be too porous. for me it worked best on the smooth side of 140lbs watercolor paper either hot or cold press. I find the Prima watercolor paper pad too porous so I know why it didn't work. I don't think Dina's would either as too porous too. and Dyan's might but I would first prime it with gesso as the paper is thinner. The archers one how thick is it and does it have a smoother side? you can always hold it down with tape. I posted the one I used under my video by Paul Reubens but I also tried it on on a hot press one and it worked. I would try the mixed media smooth by Tim Holtz. I am going to try with mermaid markers and also watercolor pencils and even water soluble crayons. Once you have the right paper, everything should work on it. maybe test the papers first.
@@KerenTamir well I kept on trying and I used a mixed media paper and my inktence pencils and oh my goodness it works and is so vibrant and beautiful. It was definitely a paper issue I’m going to experiment with other papers and water soluble mediums and keep playing I do love this and it is definitely calming and relaxing which is something that is hard to find when you’re mind/ inner voice won’t stay quiet this is the perfect thing for me. It’s art and art therapy which is why I journal and play with mixed media art in the first place.
Thank you once again for sharing this technique and for responding to my large message. I truly appreciate it. Also you playing with bleach was wonderful I’ve also done this technique using a mini mister. Much smaller splatters yet just as beautiful of a result.
Cheers cherieK 🌈🦋🐿🇦🇺♥️
@@cheriekarley2479 I'm so glad to hear it worked. I want to test it with so many other mediums and colors. That's my mission this month. It is for sure so relaxing and it does quiet my inner voice as my mind is usually racing. I had never tried bleach but it smelled really bad and I'm sensitive so not sure if I would mist it but I'm sure it gives a great effect. thank you so much for sharing!
It's not new. I did this as a child 50 years ago.
Ha, same.
Love the bright colours with the bold black lines - this is an amazing art form!
thank you so much Ardyth!! xoxo
I started with phone doodles about 30 years ago. In a time of extreme stess I did it glueing silver thread to various backgrounds and called it meanders of my mind". You can create some fantastic forms and effects. Glad the technique helps others, too.
Thank you for sharing a different way of doing this. Sounds like a great de-stressor. I'll try it!
Hi Karen, I call this 'unscrambling my brain'.....when my grandchildren were small and I was trying to think of something to amuse them I would scribble on pages, put out all the colours, and say 'here's my brain, let's unscramble it' ....then I would get them to scribble and unscramble their own brains... That was twenty years ago. Thank you for showing us your way.... magic! I love that so many do this soothing/calming doodling.
I found these beautiful looping doodles all over my high school motebooks from 1970! It was the hippue era in the Midwest & the shapes were considered a non-acid trip!
this is how i used to always draw when i was younger, because i thought i lacked creativity so the scribbles were super easy and time consuming to fill in
I love this for my art therapy sessions. Thank you so much for sharing!
yes they are perfect for that!!
I use to do this when I was younger. I had no idea there was a name for it. Thanks so much for sharing 💜
I felt calm and relaxed just watching and listening to you 💜
thank you so much!!
I know the point isn't to interpret the image but as you are painting I see your spirit guides looking down at you! 💞💞💞
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
oh I feel its great to interpret the images, I've seen some really cool things in my paintings and wow thank you for letting me know what you see... spirit guiding me is a great thing
I started something similar on a canvas a few years ago it looked like a coloring book. I tried filling with color but ended up pouring acrylic on it. I may try this on a dollar tree canvas board. Thank for sharing!
oh that sounds interesting!! thanks for sharing!
Funnily enough, when I was in a stressful job and a few years after I left I did this type of thing. I've always been a doodler, especially when on the phone, so I found doing this kind of thing fun and relaxing. I did so much I have a callous on my resting finger (the one the pen presses against). When you explained the Neurologic reasons they made sense. Thank you!
This is wonderful, especially for those that believe they don't have a creative bone in their body. Thanks so much
Absolutely! you're so right! anyone can do this!
I used to do this all the time back in the 70's when I was like 12! I didn't know I was doing Neurographic Art! Who knew?!
This was common in the 70s and we did it a lot. It's really fun and nice to see it back!
Keren, you rock! We can heal ourselves…I’ve come back 100% from two paralyzing strokes and a brain injury. Ignore the haters. It is a much more fulfilling life to be a helper.
wow I'm so sorry you went through all that.... you're so right and I'm so glad you recovered. sending love and blessings
This is my style! Thank you Keren and Happy New 2022 to you and your family!
Happy new year!! thank you so so much!
My beloved son an artist. He went to school for art. He passed away 4 yrs. ago at 27 yes old. I still have some of his paints, brushes, easel, others. I have bad day the other day. Everytime, something happen, I seems finding myself into positive creativity. I creating something similar yesterday, but in flowers. I was used my son paint, brushes...it felt spirituals. Now, today, I have learn about your techniques which is interesting. I was more a self taught person in everything....🙏🌼
Dear Angela words cannot express how sorry I am... your words spoke so much to me and having those art tools from him where his spirit still dances.... well I'm sure you can feel him in every brush stroke or every time you hold one of his brushes.... I'm so glad you're creating with them as you honor him and I'm sure he knows that.... I too I'm a self taught artist and I learn by experimenting. Sending you love and healthy blessings...
Dear Karen, thank you so much for your kindness words. It's very touching to received so much loved and compassion. We still have hope in our society and our world when we shouldering alone our personal grief...🙏❤️🌼
Karen, more than ever since I lost him, I strongly believed in angels and spirit...A different language and sense of present fills with peace and loved...Thank you for knowing that spirit language of communication...🙏🌼
thank you angela your words bring tears to my eyes... I also believe that we encounter the same souls over many lifetimes as we travel together with those we are very close too, so you might meet him again in another form one day.... not sure if you ever read any books by Brian Wise "Only Love is Real" or "Many Lives Many Masters" but it is all about past lives told by a renowned psychologist who did past life regression therapy on his patients.... Its fascinating and gives us hope.
thanks, a very fun way of doodling.
guys, if you enjoy your doodling, do whatever you want. you don’t need to follow a formula. make up your own!! cutting out certain pictures out of catalogues etc., using very sharp, curved scissors, creates the same spaced out feeling for me. even ironing makes me feel spaced out. whatever hobby or activity does it for you - knitting, computer mechanics, driving, fixing toys, making models - do it. we all need to zone out!! have fun with this or whatever. 🌷🌱
I've been doing this since childhood. I didn't know it had a name! So thank you.
Thank you so much Keren, I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and beautiful drawing. I’ve done some of this, and I really really feel relaxed and peaceful too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤
Wow, I glad I came across this.A few months ago I started scribbling inside a heart shape, and sometimes "accidental shapes", would trigger me, and for example, an exaggerated bird shape would appear, so I used my prisma pencils and go with it.But I also have several of the scribbled hearts, filled in with color and used ink as well, black for border, so I'm not so weird after all.
Thankyou so much for sharing how you do this as such a therapy. This is how I feel after finishing a heart,.Happy and peaceful.
so glad to hear Kathy! nothing is accidental and a hidden shape or figure could be a manifestation of our subconscious mind! TFS
Our teacher taught us this in a small country school in Saddleworth, England. It was 1956 and I was 6years old but remember it well.
I am so glad you posted this before I got covid, it is giving me something soothing and creative to do while stuck in the hospital.
I had 6 professional art pens, 120 colored gel pens (comes with a coloring book), a ream of copy paper, and a clipboard delivered to the hospital.
I can't comfortably do much from a tiny hospital bed but will be moved to a nursing facility for continued care and will finally have some room to get creative.
These and similar drawings are what I thought of doing when I selected the supplies.
Oh I’m so glad to hear it’s helping you. So sorry you got COVID. I hope you feel better soon. At least you get to watch lots of videos and relax lol
WOW!! I began doing this as a child.... And have continued for my life time. I never knew what it was I just did it. So Kool thanks!!
I never knew the name for this. I learned it over twenty years ago from a teacher. I'm happy your channel showed up on my feed. ❤️
I’ve also done this style of drawing for yrs on my own after being inspired by abstract sculpture. Love this beautiful colorful example. Thanks for sharing!
thank you so much!
