2024 Neurographic Art Thread, Surprises In Neurographic Art And How I Felt About It, Angela Davies, Moderator

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/my-heart-is-yours-2-angela-davies.html

My Heart is Yours 2 was created as I thought about Valentines Day. Would love to see what you may have created with this holiday in mind.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!! It is SUNDAY, New Years Eve and I wish to thank everyone Moderators and Members for a WONDERful 2023…Let’s make 2024 an even more interesting time sharing our aesthetics in The BUZzz!
The moderator thread images look SOooo BEAUTIFUL! Please, I would love to feature the Moderator topic thread 2024 images in feature (even re-feature) on the homepage if you care to. Thanks so much!

I am excited to hold lovespace while creating a real time Valentine for this year, Angela…THANK YOU for this great idea…coming soon!!..:-))

Happy New Year Laurel, sounds like a great idea! Looking forward to some heartfelt creations!

As valentine’s day is a bit down the road, I thought you might like to see last year’s neurographic exploration of the love theme…Eros, storge, filia and agape

Thanks so much for all your shares above and the descriptions of their meanings. Wonderful examples of neurographic art and how we can express meaning, emotion, and thoughts within these spontaneous drawings.

Dear Angela, It is with GREAT EXCITEMENT that I post this gratitude here in the BUZzz…in the HEALing thread…18 months later from my rendering on my husband’s end stage cancer diagnosis: As of his PET scan reading today (synchronistically, the anniversary of his mom’s passing and my mom’s 98th birthday) , he is in FULL REMISSION in his bladder and all metastatic sites! …thank you everyone for healing and wellness intentions! I/we both believe in the Power of prayerful intention. His immunotherapy is working!
I was once told, when there is breath, there is hope!

What wonderful news Laurel!!! I am so thrilled for your husband's and your wonderful news!!! Thanks for sharing this neurographic work which reveals the warmth of positive vibes and healings!! A great start to 2024!!

Dear Angela,

This is my digitally emboldened version of Neurographic heart intentions…thank you for noticing it…hot off the drawing board..:-))

And the dual sided colour pencil painting that inspired it:

Enjoy!

Wow Laurel, both the original drawing and the digitally enhanced work are gorgeous! I think your more "aggressive" digital enhancements really worked with this drawing to create an exciting new work, both are so full of energy and vibrancy! Thanks for sharing!!!

Laurel when you have time please share both of these works in the Neurographic Art Group thread also, would love to see them there!

Dear Angela, I thought I had…thank you for this reminder. Will do

Here’s another recent Neurographic rendering for the recent Menopause contest that became so much more than I anticipated. Talk about some latent emotions which surfaced…always an adventure in healing with this amazing technique. Thank you so much for introducing me to it.

Just went over to leave a comment Laurel, wow, you need to serve on a committee in congress to address this subject, a very well informed description of just some of the many, many issues regarding this topic. Sadly, almost all drugs have or were only tested on male subjects, so many are not adequate to the body chemistry of women. It is a complicated subject, so much so, that it seems our male medical counterparts just threw up their hands in despair and went their merry way with a pat on the hand and the usual pain relief drugs, and it's, "all in your head, sweetheart." I have to say I could do a drawing of joy if addressing menopause because it was the first time in my life that I was free of miserable pain and all the other issues women endure in silence on a monthly basis most of their lives. Menopause was nothing compared to the monthly pain I lived with for an eternity it seemed. Thankfully, at menopause, I had no hot flashes, or any of the other problems associated with it. Needed no meds, felt wonderful. But I paid the price in earlier life. Thanks for sharing your art and thoughts on this important subject.

lol…dear Angela, I rarely speak about my pre-artistic career…nay, nay. I’ve walked enough red tape in my day to last a lifetime, thank you…however, I appreciate the thought.

I will soon be uploading a few neurographic pieces I found during tonight’s search for this year’s Donation to one of my favorite wildlife fundraisers. For now…sleep calls.

Dear Angela,
The mixed media, activated water colour AND colour pencil activated Neurographic Rendering was turned by digital tool magic and digital transition into my FIRST NEUROGRAPHIC ART COLLAGE! I know, …Whaaat?

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/you-cast-a-spell-on-me-laurel-adams.html

Below is the rather pedestrian colour pencil rendering that started all the transitional BUZzz in Laurelland! …yatata!

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/flower-child-dreams-laurel-adams.html

Laurel, thanks for sharing both of the above works and the transition digitally from your original drawing, love the feminine energy in both works, especially love the light and warmth in the second digitally enhanced work!

Dear Angela,
I'm dropping in to give you a thought connect and gratitude for ALL you do for us here in the BUZzz! As you might know, my time has been pinched these days with Rick’s procedures and my health competing for my attention too. I appreciate you! Thank you!

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/spring-trout-lilies-angela-davies.html

Thanks for stopping by Laurel, I totally understand as we have been going through a lot also, things are beginning to turn around for the better however. Still struggling to be inspired with art right now. Sending you healing vibes!

Thank you so much Angela for sharing this because I had never heard of this type of artwork before and now I want to give it a go. I love the way it looks and does sound relaxing!

Leufia, WELCOME to the BUZzz! Please feel free to post your neurographic art in both this thread, to the BUZzz (for inclusion and possible feature) and also check out my Neurographic Art Group inspired by Angela’s work and her kind encouragement. She has a thread there too!..:-))

Link to my other Neurographic Art group is below:

Dear Angela, thank you so much for all you do for me, for us ALL here in the BUZzz! Your support and kindness is dearly appreciated. Might you consider launching a Neurographic Art Collection in your portfolio? I found this personal fav for others to enjoy! Thanks again and know you and yours continue to be in my daily thoughts for healing and wellness energies!

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/fairy-in-the-shamrocks-angela-davies.html

Thank you Laurel! I will do. I did a few digital ones last night. It is extremely therapeutic! They turned out a bit cartoony which is not my usual style, but I will post them anyway and would love to see what you both think. The first one I made was completely different to anything I have ever done before and actually made me laugh because I thought it would go in a more floral direction haha but no.

Angela, I agree with Laurel because I actually went looking for this collection on your page. It didn't occur to me to suggest it to you so good call Laurel!

Thanks for the suggestion Leufia and Laurel! I did at one time have my neurographic art in a collection but for some reason deleted it during the holidays I think??? Not sure why, but will repost it. I have not been doing much neurographic work lately but really need to start again as it helps with Artists Block, also, which I have a nasty case of right now! :) Looking forward to seeing your new work Leufia!

I've just posted one of the 5 neurotrophic artworks I did last night! https://fineartamerica.com/featured/colorful-abstract-neurographic-stained-glass-effect-leufia.html?newartwork=true

I don't normally do that many at once but as you said, it is very therapeutic and relaxing so I got really into it. I gave you a little shout out Angela and would just like to thank you again because I have created 5 completely different pieces, which are also different to any artwork I've created before. Thank you also Laurel for the motivation and encouragement and recommending this thread to me.

That one isn't the one that made me laugh, I will post that now.

This is the one that made me laugh because it is very random and I couldn't have predicted what it would turn out like - https://fineartamerica.com/featured/minimalist-modern-abstract-neurographic-illusion-leufia.html?newartwork=true

Thanks for adding your two new works to discussion Leufia! I went over and left comments on both. The stained glass effects one that you posted first reminds me of a garden of brightly colored tulips, quite striking, and the second one made me smile also. I see a pouty pooch with his head turned sideways. Such fun isn't it. Keep going! :)

Thank you so much again Angela! It's so interesting because you and the other kind person that commented see differently to what I see. I will wait till Laurel has a look before telling you what I see. I will do. I am posting the last ones now. I will share them together once I've done so.

Very kind comments on my pieces Angela, thank you!

That's me posted them all now. These are rather simple -

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/bold-flower-neurographic-line-drawing-leufia-rea.html

WOW! Leufia…you’ve got the Neurographic bug! Exciting, yes?
Neurographic art is a technique with criteria and you’ve got the offside lines down. The second element is neuron development and that requires softening of the angles at the interstices of where the lines intersect. Also the third element is to take a focused emotion or thought into the process.
I see you have also joined my Neurographic Art Group! YAY! In the Neurographic Art group, the membership is also required to add an acknowledgement statement to developer, Pavel Piskarev who has recently trademarked his technique and training process….see the group homepage.
Below is the link to my neurographic Art group which gives a researched overview and definition. Hope it helps. There you can see how differently many of us interpret the three simple criteria. Any of the abstracts you have included in this thread will easily become “Neurographic Art “ with the modification of neuron development! Your work is, like most neurographic work…authentic, beautifully bold and Interpretive! Keep your excitement FLOWing and keep PLAYing! I can’t WAIT to see your final take(s) on this artform!

https://fineartamerica.com/groups/neurographic-art.html?tab=overview

You can also see the originator, Pavel Piskarev on utube with his MANY detailed tutorials. I watched several before I attempted…then, I developed my own “style” and began RelaxIng into the technique.

Thank you so so much Laurel! I will definitely look more into this and take on board your tips! Very useful and YES, definitely got the bug hehe. Looking forward to experimenting more with this method! That is good to know about referencing Pavel Piskarev. I will go and do that now and looking forward to watching videos on this also!

An extra MASSIVE thank you for taking the time to view, comment on and share my artworks - and for your detailed and lengthy messages and emails. I really appreciate it so much! So kind and motivating!

P.s It is so interesting that I cannot see what other people see and vice versa. I see a side profile of a bear on the left (with a green ear) and on the right, a side profile of a woman with a blue face, red cheek and black hair. This is what I expected most people to see to but no one so far. Fun!

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/minimalist-modern-abstract-neurographic-illusion-leufia.html?newartwork=true

Leufia, I am SOooo excited to see your enthusiasm for this technique which is an amazing conduit for so much…anxiety release, healing, simply fun of creating, and a wonderful assist for artist block. Intershare within your talent and enthusiasm is what fuels each of us moderators in the BUZzz and hopefully, we are successful in returning the gaze to the beauty of your work and to the affirmation of your aesthetic. Thanks for sharing in the BUZzz!

Thanks so much for sharing your newest works Leufia! You are on a roll! Doing this type of art seems to open the floodgates of creativity! Glad you are enjoying the process. I recently clicked on your links above but they did not take me to the works? Not sure if it a site glitch or what?

You're welcome Angela! I changed the names because Laurel pointed out to me that they are leaning more towards line art than neurographic art, so I think that's why the link doesn't work. I've since watched a couple videos and played about more. What I created last night is very abstract but I think more in the right direction with the rounding of the edges creating a neuron effect (that makes sense now hahaa) and it was very relaxing to do. I will post that soon :)

Thank you both again! I enjoy experimenting and getting tips and tricks!

…OHhhh, Leufia…the thrill of anticipation!…I can’t WAIT to see!

Hehe. Done!



It's very basic but I quite like how it looks on certain products.

I did another one which I added shading to and it resembles colorful pebbles but I'm not so sure about it. I will definitely experiment more. I am off home (to Scotland) tomorrow for a couple of weeks so it might be put on hold but will see :)

Oops, sorry, I posted the wrong type of link

Thanks so much Leufia for adding your newest work, love the bold colors and lines, very eye catching. Yes, more of the neurographic technique here, glad you enjoyed the videos and learning about the process! Enjoy the trip to Scotland, I envy you, one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited!!! I went over and left a comment on your work.

Yes!, you are strengthening the Neurographic Flow. One can FEEL and FOLLOW the offside lines and the cluster of pebbles as the Neuron in the primary intersection. I understand your love of tangles, colour and design. It is a …delicate dance…to balance the tipping point of losing the Neurographic elements to overall design. I removed many of my own early works because I couldn’t …resist the temptation. I now save three phases of my neurographic work and often post the mid and final phases in different categories of Neurographic and Nature abstract. I will accept this beauty and post examples of my own work as examples of where I surrendered to the Muse and buried the neurographic underpinnings.

When you think of it, virtually everything in nature is neurographic in origin. Think of fractals and their neurographic origins, veins of sea waves, rivulets of water flowing down rocky pathways of alpine streams, tree branches and leaf patterns…the list goes on and on.

I posted the url for your beautiful work just now featured in the Artist BUZzz! Congratulations!
https://fineartamerica.com/featured/bold-abstract-neurographic-leufia.html

Removed because I overworked it and lost the neurographic criteria TECHNIQUE beneath the love of burnishing the final colour pencil “painting”.

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/for-ever-autumn-laurel-adams.html

Restored by dropping the leaf onto a digital canvas in Procreate for iPad and re-drawing the neurographic elements with the Luminance Light pen tool.

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/lightening-laurel-adams.html

Leufia congrats on recent feature in Neurographic Art! Laurel, thanks for sharing your works as examples of neurographic art and how it can be changed so that it does not meet the criteria, as you said" a fine line" between the two. :) And how it can be restored to neurographic art using your digital tools to redraw them.

Hi again! Thank you both so much again.

I am happy you love Scotland Angela! I love it too. The weather is terrible but i'm too happy to be home for it to bother me! I am very busy but wanted to come on just to catch up quickly!

Thank you so much for your comments!

I love the artworks your shared Laurel! Especially the second one because it jumped right out the screen. It glows! And thank you so so much for the special features! It is hugely appreciated!

Glad to hear you are enjoying your trip Leufia!! The weather here in Pa USA has been very like Scotland! Five days in a row with rain and then sun but cold wind. But next week looks beautiful! So finally! Looking forward to seeing your new inspired creations when you return. Travel always gives me some inspiration!

Dear Leufia, so glad you popped in …even while being home in Scotland!…thank you! You are most welcome for the features…your excitement and enthusiasm is contagious. Now, enjoy your visit but know we will eagerly be awaiting your return..:-))

Dear Angela,

I’m posting this neurographic art rendering to show how the criteria of Pavel Piskarev’s technique really works to unravel DEEP emotion and most often takes on an abstract quality with exaggerated neural and multilinear expression.

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/when-there-are-no-words-laurel-adams.html

It takes on such a different FEEL when one takes a focused “theme” into the technique. For me, it most often becomes a recognizable artwork and I REALLY must be aware so as not to overwork and even Lose the neurographic elements. This one skirted the boundaries but I couldn’t help it. Who doesn’t love the topic of Gaia?

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/archetypal-laurel-adams.html

Laurel the title, When There Are No Words, fits the emotion and mood of this complex work, thanks so much for sharing your amazing backstory with this work. The mountains in the background show the heights of emotion you experienced at this major life event. I also love the Archetypal Gaia image posted next, a sense of joy and inspiration, thanks so much for sharing in your description how this was created. You took neurographic lines and created a new and beautiful work of art! I went over to visit both.

Many thanks, dear Angela for your encouragement, your introducing me to Neurographic Art technique and for all you do for me/us all in the BUZzz, so appreciated.
I will rejoin the threads hopefully on the 13th. There is always so much to do before/after even the shortest vacation as this will be. Thank you all for your understanding!

We will miss you, but the trip will be refreshing and inspiring, just what an artist needs. Have a wonderful time!!

hope you have a wonderfully happy birthday, Laurel! I'm sharing some of your fabulous Neurographic pieces here to celebrate!
