I’ve been reading about neurographica lately and wanted to try something new.

Neurographica is a psychological method that combines art, creativity, mindfulness, and neuroscience.

And while I’m certainly not a psychological expert, I do find that combining art and mindfulness is a great way to relax and perfect start to a painting session.

So grab a piece of paper or your sketchbook and whatever materials you have. I’m using markers here, but you could use crayons, pastels, colored pencils, or water colors. The medium doesn’t matter and the goal is not perfection. We’re just aiming to stay present for a couple minutes and put color down on the paper.

Save this for the next time you have just 10 minutes to paint.

A few tips:

- keep the sky simple, and remember you can always use a damp paper towel to remove pigment for the clouds

- a little splatter is a fun way to add depth quickly

- the flower shapes can be blobby, don’t get bogged down trying to paint every single petal

And most importantly, have fun!

It’s been snowing the last few days (that’s life in the Rocky Mountains!) but I woke up dreaming of daisies.

Hope you enjoy this one 🌼

I love how a painting like this goes through so many stages and really doesn’t come together until the last moment. When learning to paint, just keep going!

The steps:
- Sketch
- Paint in the dark areas
- Underpainting that is opposite of the final color
- Paint from dark to light, use big, loose strokes
- Carefully paint in details, especially on cars or buildings to avoid distortion

Remember to step back regularly and squint to see if the shapes are coming together. If you don’t like your painting right away, give it a few days. With fresh eyes you can decide if you like it or want to make any changes.

Have questions? Let me know. And happy painting!
