Neurographic Art – Beginner tutorial

Have you ever wanted to know how to do neurographic art? In this tutorial, I will show you how to start neurographic art for absolute beginners. In fact, this is my first ever attempt at neurographic art. I will take you through my process, explaining each step along the way.

I have recently been investigating neurographic art, as it kept on coming up on my YouTube and other social media feeds and I found it intriguing. It looked both relaxing as well as a little intimidating. The finished works looked quite complicated and I wasn’t sure how to achieve it.

So, I am going to take you along on my first ever attempt at neurographic art. As I do so, I will explain the basic principles. Then maybe you can try it too.

What I enjoy about neurographic art is that it has both structure and spontaneity with unpredictability. I don’t think it is really possible to produce the same piece of neurographic art twice, especially if you are doing it correctly and allowing the lines to just form as they may.

Neurographic art is actually a method of therapy, devised by the psychologist Pavel Piskarev in 2014. It combines psychology, neuroscience and art therapy. The idea behind the process is that specific types of abstract drawings can help reorganize neural pathways in the brain, leading to clarity and stress reduction.

Supplies:
Paper - I am using a sketch book that contains 230gsm wood pulp paper, as I wish to use watercolor, so am using a heavier weight of paper.
Permanent black liner pens - I am using Sakura Pigma Micron black pens, size 05, 08 and 12
Something to put color down - I am using watercolor paints. You can also use pencil crayons, watercolor pencils, alcohol markers, fibre tipped pens or wax crayons.
Masking tape (optional)
