neurographic intuitive art with doodles

[@lovejones381]

Your piece is beautiful and inspiring. I also like your technique of filming. The speed and shots you used were perfect to bring me in your process of creating your art and felt therapeutic to watch!

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Aaw, thank you so much! 🫶

[@Moondapplemixedmedia]

Fun! I saw so many images in your watercolor, when I do mine I rarely see such fun imagery like faces, fish etc. love your vids and thanks for sharing, it means a lot to many of us who are stuck with health and physical challenges

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

You know, I don't see much in mine either, but do in others! I think we're too close to it as the creator, maybe? I'm glad to hear you enjoy my videos 💕

[@xVentax]

Me too! Loved the finished piece, but am I the only one to see an open mouth, with 2 teeth and a tongue in what ended up being her ‘favourite bit’? Once seen, I couldn’t unsee it. 😊

[@izabellan9706]

Absolutely Stunning. I love the colours! 💜💙💚💛🧡

[@evy6648]

Hi Bettina, thank you for this video. And for being honest about feeling overwhelmed and throwing pieces in the garbage. I know how that feels. Lately I'm depressed and lost my connection to creating. But you're video gave me hope that i might enjoy creating again and maybe even get my spark back. Glad I found you. ❤

[@julieadaska6649]

I LOVE THE WHITE PEN. Every time I try to get one of these going, I get a mental block. Then it is hard for me to finish it. I like this one it shows a lot of zen tangles and I like to do those.

[@sylviegerard7027]

So fun , calme and beautiful. Thanks😊

[@paperie1]

Stunning, so glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing :)

[@loisp3192]

i rarely watch through a complete video. i did with this one. you've taken the piece from blank sheet to extraordinary finished piece . thank you.

[@cindy_johnson369]

Love this! I remember starting to do this back in the 70's. I love the mindfulness that is now associated with it. Thanks!

[@Austin_99162]

I love this... I only have food coloring but I am so inspired I'm going to go for it! And not much of a brush but I'll improvise- thank you for the clear descriptions of what you're doing and for showing the canvas/ paper, paints, brushes, etc.Your videos are wonderful to watch and experience and your art is creative, intuitive, and beautiful

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Aww, I appreciate your comment. I hope you tried it with food colors! I bet it worked great! You can also just use colored pencils or markers! Even coffee works in a pinch, but I'd rather drink it 😉 whatever you used, I hope you enjoyed the process!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Bettina, I really really enjoyed watching you create this beautiful and stunningly gorgeous piece of artwork. I really love ❤❤❤❤ this, and every single one of your videos too. Those white neuro lines are absolutely beautiful too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

[@angelawallismoore2283]

Lovely work! I'm using similar techniques: working a section at a time, and employing reverse images. It's such a delightful artform.

[@dianesmith2856]

I LOVED watching this video. I can’t wait to jump in and do one! ❤❤❤❤

[@kimlouisemorrison]

This is so beautiful and inspiring! I watched the entire video and cannot wait to give this a try. Thank you for sharing this - very well paced video and I love your comments! ❤

[@tammyoneill6128]

Loved this video. Great you explained your process. Lesson I took, never throw away something just set it aside. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Thank you so much! Oh, how I wish I could hold on to everything! This one was a lucky one for sure 😉

[@cephid1]

Stumbled across these last weekend, a bit worried it might become addictive, HAHA not to worry there are worse things to become addicted to, love watching your tutorials , I have lots of watercolour pictures I am not happy with, so thinking I might see if I can jazz them up a lot this way

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Haha, welcome to the club! I love going back to my older paintings to see if I can embellish them this way! Sometimes it turns out great, other times I make it worse, haha! But at least I'm having fun! And yes, it can get a bit addicting, but in the best way possible 😊

[@michelemyankazt6657]

Oh my Gosh! I’m absolutely speechless, this turned out so remarkably gorgeous I can’t explain how good it made me feel to watch you do this. You’re such an inspiration and I’m going to try a piece using this technique and see how it turns out for me. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Thank you so much!! What a sweet comment! 💕

[@ronmathurin208]

Thank you so much for such inspiration ,could watch this for hours !

[@QOGS]

Incredibly beautiful! So inspired with your application of color, shaping & markings!

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Thank you very much! 💕❤️

[@TrischRosema]

Beautiful work! I love doing similar neurographica but your is simply amazing. Thank you for sharing!

[@monikabrachnakova7266]

Reminds me patterns of free hands quilting, so calming. Thanks for sharing your videos. Your funclub members increased

[@SylviaCostello-lu1bu]

lovely work.

[@louiseadams5437]

Absolutely out of this world adore this page amazing talent 💕

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

🫶🏻 thank you

[@dianeo]

Lovely. All the little details you included added up to such a beautiful result. I've tried so many white pens that failed but the Signo seems to work the best.

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Thank you! That's what I love about this technique, not knowing what I end up with. I definitely got a dud last time I purchased the Signo brand. I'm glad this one works much better 👍🏻

[@sheilacym]

Have you tried the Posca white fine tip nib number 1MR ? Or another great white acrylic paint pen marker is by Artistro…..they come in all different colours, but you can buy just the white ones. They also come in packs of white only or black and white mixed….or gold and silver !! The silver one is just like a mirrored chrome….it’s amazing !!! I have always found it hit and miss with the gel pens…..but you really won’t go wrong with the Posca or the Artistro.

[@dianeo]

@@sheilacym I have Poscas but not with the fine tip. I'll have to check it out! I haven't had good luck with the Artistro white markers. Maybe it was a bad batch. Anyway, thanks for the recommendations 👍👍

[@laurienye7514]

WOW ... Are we back home yet. What a ride that was, I loved it. It was gorgeous and the colors were magnificent and the artwork also. TY Bets.

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

😆 I ❤️ this comment!

[@marshaglass2350]

What fun! I've been inspired and am going for it! Love your work!

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Awesome, yay!

[@cyndihall7245]

Absolutely mesmerizing!!!

[@jennywhisconier7777]

Love, absolutely love!

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

This was a joy to watch Bettina ❤ Thank you for sharing! One of your subscribers mentioned your channel to me and said that you have been so kind to mention my channel on yours. 🥰 Thank you so much for extending me this kindness! I will be watching more of your videos and I will give your channel a special shout out on my channel as well. 🤗

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Hi Gabrielle! You're very welcome! I've been following you for a little over a year and have learned a lot from you! Your creations are so inspiring and it's nice to have found another watercolor abstract artist 😊

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤@@_bettina_fernandez_ It's so lovely to connect with you! You may not hear me mention your channel for a couple of weeks, but I promise you it's coming. I'm working on another move 😳 and everything is posted weeks ahead at this point. Thank you again for being so kind and supportive! Your artwork is beautiful and inspiring as well 🥰

[@zinniazen9923]

This one is really stunning! I love it ❤. I really love the white pen effect. I may get another one I may have a dud. 😂. Keep up the beautiful art work. Love it.❤

[@annelise8014]

You soooo inspire!

[@kathysausen6493]

Absolutely stupendous!!!!👏👏👏👏💕

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Thank you 🙏🏻💕

[@luannianke8110]

Absolutely loved this whole process and result. I went back to see if I could find the heart shape that showed up for me in the beginning. You didn't obscure it with doodling. I wonder if you saved it on purpose?

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Thank you so much! I wasn't sure which one you meant, so I had to go find it myself 😆 It was a total accidental creation! I'm always curious to see what others find in my paintings, so thank you for sharing that with me ❤️

[@huevo13digital]

Yeah, it happens to me as well, the less I like seems to be the best in the end... BTW, I just found you and your art is just my type and I want you to be my mentor and inspiration so Ill follow you. Thanks for sharing your art😍

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Thank you! I hope you've been enjoying my more recent videos as well 😊

[@elles1488]

Hi Bettina, Just found your work and I am really inspired. Do you put anything on a finished piece to protect and seal it so it won't fade? All that beautiful work and I would not want anything to happen to it. Thanks for your demonstration.

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Wonderful! Actually, I don't. Some of them are stuck on my wall away from direct sunlight and the others are currently residing in a box in my closet, until I figure out what to do with them. But should I decide to sell some pieces I would definitely put a varnish over them.

[@tammiemitchell-vx5dv]

Just lovely😊

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Thank you! 😊

[@cendre4205]

Just beautiful 😍😍😍

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Thank you! 😊

[@amysceri3591]

I love your doodles. What brand is your white pen. I can’t seem to find one that works as well as yours does.

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Hi! Thanks so much! All my materials are listed in the description box below the video!

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Thank you!

[@germainwdesjardins6573]

Beautiful 😻

Thank you 💕

[@ampm24-7arts]

up to the 4 min area i thought, its a CAT! LOL i love your work and am happy to have found you!

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

I had to go back to see if I could see that too! I'm always fascinated by what others see 😊

[@jaedo71]

Did you use metallic watercolors? What brand?

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Nope. Just the gold, which I have listed in the description box.

[@anniefaint6373]

It’s gorgeous,,,,xxx ❤

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

[@JudeDowney]

Thank you for inspiration. I get so much pleasure from watching and then performing my own. Life in general has expanded so much since I got involved with this fascination with making lines and dots and marking where they meet.

[@lh3837]

Can you include a list of pens used?

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Hi! Everything I used is listed with links below the video in the description box, which will expand by clicking the "more" or arrow button (depending on where you watch it)!

[@mariechristinebrocart7926]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@janicetimmons1844]

Why round connected lines

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

It's a practice people do when drawing neurographic art. Google it for more info. I'm not the expert on it, I just enjoy the practice.

[@valerieb8006]

🥰👍

[@geebee8908]

For your comments use black letters against a white background.

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

👍🏻

[@paulien7779]

The written instructions were extremely difficult to read. White on white is completely annoying. 😮

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

😬

[@stevealexander2649]

The music is distracting, better if you talked people through what your doing,in my opinion of course

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

I get that people like different things. But you have to understand, that as a creator, it's hard to please everyone. You could always watch it on mute or listen to your own music, I won't know the difference 😉. In my newer videos, I talk more, so hopefully those will be more your style... I appreciate the feedback though 👍🏻

[@jillystewart8567]

Please..don't have the writing over the top of everything..it's distracting.. Nothing wrong with speaking your thoughts..or put them on the bottom ..off the artwork for those to read..that want too 🙏

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

👍🏻got it

[@marlenevidibor8054]

I can't read your titles

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

😔

[@alisalindsay4339]

That doesn’t look good

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

😂 duly noted 👍🏻

[@ArtyButterfly]

Show us one of yours then ! 🤔 it is about relaxation and having fun … not creating the Mona Lisa 🥸

[@tinamerrow7319]

Why would any creative say that to another creative?? I'm guessing because she is not Creative and is jealous? @alisalindsay4339 go away or stfu!

[@Kyron-c3v]

That looks great!!!

[@angusmorrison9433]

So you don’t get it, eh?

[@ES1077]

Loved it all! Mesmerizingly beautiful. ❤️. I didn’t see your largest mop listed in the supplies…. The white letters worked for me…I enjoyed your explanations as you painted. I turned off the volume on the music; it seemed to not match the pace of your process of creating for me. Thank you for sharing this! I subscribed!

[@carrma57]

I must say, you have outdone yourself with this. It is absolutely stunning. I love the use of the white pen, it complements the colours so well. My eyes popped when you brought out the gold. I love it 🫶

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

😊🙈 thank you!!

[@rubyfisch5077]

Thanks so much for this video. Your work never fails to inspire me. You asked if we find an element that we want to repeat, the answer is yes. :) But each painting that I do takes me to other places and I end up never repeating, except lines, etc. Which is one of the best parts of this kind of thing. What I repeat are the colors. I can't seem to get away from the blues, greens and raw sienna. As far as the white pens, I share your love/hate relationship with them. I've found some good ones, but there will also be bad ones within the same pack. My favorites this week are called Smootherpro. I got them on Amazon. So far, so good.

[@herbalannie7707]

My colors so had to click it on. So many twists and turns into surprise after surprise. Magical! Funny how I speed it up to watch, then slow as possible at the end to savor it.

[@TheZGALa]

Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed that.

[@jilliandaly933]

Wow! That's beautiful. ❤

[@luannrichardson1436]

Just a beautiful presentation💕

[@heatherhughes2955]

That is amazing!!

[@taffy-sophiashahbozian7327]

I love what you’re doing but the music doesn’t add to the beauty of your art. It’s driving me crazy. Sorry ❤

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

Some of my older music choices were maybe a bit more questionable. When I come across a video that has music I don't agree with, I just mute the video and watch it without. So that's always an option and I won't be mad about it either 😉

[@tammiemitchell-vx5dv]

What’s the largest of this style you have doe? Do you have videos of them

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

I only work on watercolor paper and I don't usually go bigger than 8x10. I couldn't point out specific videos atp, because recently I've only been working on 6x9 inches. Apologies.

[@claudiamartinez9044]

Por favor pueden traducirlo al español,

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

I'm sorry, I don't speak Spanish 😔

[@Auriasis]

I too have a pile of white pens that only work once in a while. Thanks for the tip on starting with a shape and drawing lines in gradually

[@stacyk9571]

Absolutely gorgeous. This is doddle art plus so much more. 🥰✨

[@katmcc1517]

Abstract watercolor + reverse coloring book + rounding neurographic lines + colored pencil + doodles! Perfect combination! And why can't white pen technology keep up? I certainly need new ones!!

[@_bettina_fernandez_]

😆 you summed it up perfectly! And yes, the white pen technology is seriously lacking!

[@KellyCDB]

I've recently discovered white gouache with a ruling pen. It is a bit time consuming as you have to keep reloading the pen, similar to a dip pen, but it's the brightest, most opaque white for highlights and such that I've found yet, with more control than a brush, and adjustable line thickness.
