About This Class

Hey there! Are you ready to ditch perfection and dive straight into painting.

In this class we’re flipping the script. We’re skipping the drawing and jumping right into color, letting the paint do the talking, and seeing where it takes us and then bring the pens in. We’ll make four square abstract paintings together—bold, loose, and totally free.

Here’s what we’ll do:
Play with intuitive watercolor—no overthinking allowed!
Layer in some relaxing line patterns and inky details
Learn to let go of perfection (Jack, my assistant, is working on that too)

These pieces will be perfect to hang on your wall or gift to someone who could use a dose of creativity. And don’t worry if you’re a total beginner or if you’ve been here before—you’ll leave with art you’re proud of and a little more peace in your head.

I’ll be painting in real time, sharing all the good, the bad, and the nonsense along the way. So grab your watercolors, your pens, and let’s color first… and figure the rest out later.

When you’re done, I’d love to see what you made! Share your art and your experience in the project gallery.

Alright. Let’s go make some art—no stress, just color.

Top Teacher

Hey, I'm Fab! I'm an artist, online teacher, and productivity nerd who believes that everyone can draw (and everyone can make time for it too!)

I've been painting with watercolors for 13 years and working as an independent artist for 9. My main creative practice is documenting daily life with my watercolor sketch journals, creating abstract watercolor paintings or experimenting with something new that I saw 10 minutes ago. (sorry not sorry emoji)

Over the years, I've learned a ton of tips and tricks, and I love sharing them with others. Here is one of them: Art isn't about perfection, it's about the journey. So stop overthinking it and just pick up the brush!

But I also know that life gets busy, and finding time for creativity isn't always easy. That's why ... See full profile

Transcripts

1. Introduction to Bold Colors and Neurographic Art: What happens when you start with wild colors and figure out the rest later? You get the Part four of abstract watercolor escape. Still abstract, still watercolor, still a great excuse to tell everyone, No, I can't go out. I'm busy making art. Hi, I'm Fatty. Watercolor artist, online teacher, and recovering procrastinator here in Warsaw, Poland. Me and my assistant, Jack, try to bring you good quality content to keep you creative. At least that's my goal. Jack, not so much. In this class, we are flipping the script. Instead of drawing first, we are diving straight into color, letting the paint lead the way. It's so easy we are doing four at once. Then we'll slow things down with black lines and graphic patterns and inky details that will elevate your painting to another level. Making a series of four square paintings that will look amazing together. Perfect for putting on your wall or sending to someone who needs a little creativity in their life. This is what we are painting today. And this, and this and this. You will explore playing with loose, intuitive watercolor, layering relaxing line patterns, letting go of perfection. Jack is already working on this. In fact, he's the best at not getting things done perfectly. Whether you are brand new or back for more, you will live here with art that you are proud of and a little bit more peace in your head. You can draw with me in real time. Nothing rushed, nothing fancy, you, your supplies, and me talking nonsense in the background. And when you are done, share your work in the gallery. Tell us what your experience was like. Did you manage to reduce stress, forget your responsibilities for a moment? We are here for all of it. Alright, paints out, pens ready. Let's paint first and figure the rest out later. 2. Class Project: And then, because of what this psychic says, George doesn't go on his holiday he had tickets to Cayman Islands and gives the tickets to Kramer. And Kramer ends up spending the entire time on the beach with supermodels and George is screwed as always. It's the best. Oh, sorry. I was just telling Jack about this episode of Seinfeld I just watched. Where were we Where we? Class Project. Yes. So the class project. You know the drill by now. I'm going to paint those paintings over there. But during the class, I'm going to show only one of them from beginning to the end because I don't want to make the class too long, and the process is similar. And I expect you to do the same. You can do one. You can do four. It's up to you and have your set of paintings like me and take a photo of it and share it with us in the class project gallery. That's it. And in the process, try to relax, try to be mindful, try to give yourself to the colors and the lines and the patterns. This time we're going to do patterns. That's the biggest difference here. We're going to talk about it in a second. And just enjoy the process and enjoy being creative. So I will see you in the materials with you. Jack, where are they not going? That when I say, I will see you, they should just go on to the next one. Bye. 3. Materials: And this the p so let's quickly talk about the materials. I'm going to use this watercolor paper. It's 300 gram. It's 240 by 300 millimeters and it's from Tiger. I was complaining about tiger paper in the puissan but maybe it was a bad batch or something because this big one is doing okay actually. I'm continuing to use it. This was from an exhibition I was in, and this was other project I was working on. It's unrelated. We are using this paper. I cut them to squares. To use for this project, and what else? This we are not using the tape in this project. I only use this for making circles and this as well, my broken ruler. My watercolors are here, but it's because I don't have space on my table. We are not using these watercolors. However, you can totally use your watercolors, just to show you something else. For this class, I decide to use the liquid watercolors that these are, again, I bought from cheap shop once doesn't even have a brand on it really. It's basically watercolor, it's just ready in the liquid form and it has a eye drop thing and but you can totally use your watercolors for this and we're going to use, of course, water. We're going to take it with the brush and make circles and then we will drop paint to create washes in the middle of our squares and then we'll make four of them a matching set. Paper watercolors, if you have liquid watercolor, I used this brush pen from Faber Castel and mostly this 0.5. And then later for patterns and dots, I use this micron 02 or 08 when I want to make these big dots because it's pretty thick, this 08. Anything else? No, I think that's pretty much it. Yeah, so that's it for the materials. See you in the first lesson. Bye. 4. The Idea: Why Paint First and Then Draw?: And this Hello. Welcome to part four of abstract watercolor Escape. Today, we are doing something a bit different. We are doing a set of abstracts to go together. I will try to them all of them, put all of them together. So the idea is today, we are doing a little bit different. I didn't want you guys to get bored. So we are putting a Narographic art aside for this one, and we're going to go with the and we're going to change the style a bit. Up to this point in every part, what we did was, let me show you those. This was part one. This was P two, lit. And this was P three. So let's put them like this. With all of them, what we did was first, we put drawing. After that, we painted. As I was doing this over months and months, at some point I changed the style a bit and I I looked all of the paintings I have and decided that I mainly do two different types, first drawing, then painting, and then first painting, then drawing. For this one, we will probably come back to this style again in the future. For this one, I want to change things up a bit. We are leaving the neurographic lines behind for this project, and we are switching from first drawing, then painting to first painting and then drawing, we're going to do. And also, this will be the introduction of the patterns because at this point, as I was more and more exploring this area, I realized patterns are even more captivating the neurographic lines, and they really helped me to calm down, wind down, it's the best thing ever. So this was always going in this direction. This was the plan from the beginning that come to the patterns, but I didn't want to do it all at once. Now we are leaving the urographic lines behind, they will come back again and we are bringing in the patterns, not too much. Um that we will do a little bit and it will get more intense later on in the future classes. That's why for this class for Part four, I decided to go with this project. I created like this. This was, again, the plan from the beginning. I made a set of them like this. I actually sat down and made these colors, these circles on the watercolor paper then I just felt like, Okay, I think I will draw on them a bit, and this is what came out. And actually, this was my kind of entrance to this world. And so I want you guys to follow the same path as me. And what we're going to do, I'm going to create four of them. They happen fairly quickly. And then we're going to create one of them because all of them would take too much time and the class would be too long. But the general idea for all of them are the same. You just mix and match the different patterns and lines with others and we're going to create one of them later at the end, I will show you the whole set and then you can use the same style as yours or you can come up with your own compositions. And that will be it. If you are ready, let's start with the painting because what did I say, in this class, we are doing first painting, then drawing. We're going to paint first, we're going to let it dry and then we'll go to drawing. Good thing about this before we move on to that just came to my mind. I really enjoy doing this because I can make this in my studio and let them dry and then just put them in the backpack. Just take a few pens with me and outside in a cafe or wherever I want. It's very easy to create that you don't have to carry anything else because you already took the painting with you. It's just one sheet of paper and it's already ready for you to create. This way, it's very backpack friendly. I enjoy this style painting first drawing later. There's also a practical reason why I like it. So now we're going to create. And for this one, we're going to use this. These are also watercolors, but they are liquid watercolors. You can do this class totally with your normal watercolors. This changes nothing. I just want to bring you something new to play with if you want to change things up a little. If you want to get or if you maybe already have liquid watercolors, you can use. I'm going to use for this class just for a change, but you can totally use your watercolors. It's fine. And we're going to make some colorful circles like this and then let them dry. So let's go to the painting part. In the previous classes, the one after the idea was always driving. This time it's painting. So I see in the painting part. H. 5. Painting with Liquid Watercolors, Wet On Wet: So now, I'm going to put these aside here. I'm going to put I feel like my favorite among them. It doesn't matter. I'm going to do all four of them, but I will put this one on. Okay. And these are the previous classes. If you haven't taken already, you should go and do. But even if you haven't done those classes, you can still do this one. It's not like you won't get the plot or something. And these are all the colour papers I prepared. So now, this is very simple. We are not looking for perfection here. I especially like when it's a little wonky or not a perfect circle. So just go ahead and make a circle. That if it's difficult for you guys to see at the moment what I'm doing, I'm just adding water and making a circle in the middle of my. It's difficult for me to see too because I'm very cramped with the light in the microphone around me. Let me see for a second. I left a huge gap here, I'm just bending the paper a little bit to shine a light on it to be able to see. It seemed too perfect to me, so I just made one part stick out on purpose. Like I said, I think it looks always more interesting if it's not perfect circle. But in the meantime, I know that some people prefer perfect circles. That's also fine. You can go ahead and make a perfect circle. So this one is very dark, but it's actually yellow. So I'm gonna I will try to adjust this light. So I will be able to see better. Okay. And from the edge of the circle you created, push some of this yellow. And I'm going to take I think this is orange. And from the remaining space, I'm Itting some of this orange. I'm touching, actually, while doing this to the middle, and I'm not going to fiddle with it more. I'm going to just put this aside now to try. Now we will do the second one. I Second one, let's say this one on the side will be the guide. So now we are creating another circle. It doesn't have to be circle either if you want to do shape or completely whatever comes out. If you want to do that, that's also fine. For some reason, I like circles that you've probably seen in my other paintings I also use a lot. No. It doesn't have to be perfect circle, also, it doesn't have to be perfectly in the middle either. Like, you can make your creative decisions on these things. Okay. And now I'm going to take this purple one. And now I don't remember which one was which, but it doesn't really matter, does it? I'm gonna add some purple. Do you see how potent it is? The good thing about this that when you use this liquid water colors, they are very strong and when you try to do this with the dry ones in the pan, you wet them and then you keep adding more water to this and then it just becomes very watery and it's difficult to control. For this kind of just drop and see what happens in situation. They are very useful. And this one, I think I want to let's flow around a little bit, so I'm These gaps that I left it seemed too much in line, like the one, two, three, one, two, three, so I want to break that a bit. And I think this one is ready, but a little bit before I go purple here. So this one also goes on the side. And next one, let's say it's the swan. Let's take another piece of paper. Here this. And process is the same. We are making a circle in the middle. I need to think of a system that there will be a light over there, maybe just allow me to see because I guess it helps for the abstract aspect of the class. I don't fully see what I'm doing so. But let me have a look. M I'm just bending it to get some more light on it. Let me see if I can do that for looking the camera you can also see now. Okay. Mm hmm. And for this one, I think I'm gonna pink. Do you see how it immediately starts going outwards? And We also gonna let this be if you want to have another look. And the last one. And for this one, let's say this will be the. I'll. I think I want to use this pink and the purple. Which is actually what I have here. And maybe yellow as all. We'll see. Let's create our circle first. Again, I need to have a look first I'm showing it to you guys. I'm letting the water go all over the circle for starting. Hence Let's some purple here. Here. Purple is very potent and I don't want to be very overwhelming. And do you see how this one is pushing the water, and then it creates these blooms on the purple? These kind of things are agile like. We want those. I think I want to add a bit of yellow here. Not too much. Okay, now we're going to let this be as well and then to dry, and I don't know which one, but I will pick one and we will create our abstract lines on them and then they will be a set. So see you in the drawing part. 6. Drawing Patterns and Mark Making: Hello, I'm back. Now my paintings are dry, except this one. These ones are dried. But it's okay because I'm gonna continue with one of the other trees, but this one actually turned out really nice. And let's look at the others. This one came out like this. And this one and this one. They remind me a bit of those psychological test, how were they called. Shaoseng? No, that's a movie. Sorry, my alarm was ringing, and I think I'm going to go ahead with one W one? This one. Definitely one with the yellow, yellow and orange. Yeah, I think I want this warm one. I will continue with this. Like I said now, all the paintings. One of them only I'm going to repeat. No, one of them, I'm going to do it for you here. The others, at the end, they will be ready, and I will put them all together. But as a demonstration, there will be only one of them, so the class won't be too long. And basically, it's the same thing you change the composition a little bit and where you put the patterns and so on. So I'm going to leave one of them here. Let's do this one. Let's leave this one. Now it's good to use ticker pen. I'm going to test this if this is writing nicely. This one is okay. It's checked quit seven here. This one, for example, running out. It's good when you want to make patterns that it's making a bit broken lines, but not for the main pen. I wouldn't I wouldn't use that. Just a second because I need to go and get some pens. Oh, I'm back. Here are more pens. These were my backpack because I was out droving the other day. Um, here's my broken circle making ruler and my tape. I'm not gonna usetape not now later when we want to make this beautiful black box. Oh, sorry, I need to catch my breath. Because I went downstairs and came back. And I think, yeah, you can see on this one, I was using this to make circles. And so I will try to stay true to what we have here. Let's put this aside. And so where where is this 0.8 Um I'm going to put the circles first. Let's do one here and another one here a little bit intersecting with the orange orb we have in the middle. And let's see. These were, like I said, they were the early days, and now the patterns I make are much more I know packed and it gives more texture. I like in here that this circling that I think it brings it up a bit. So let's start with that. But as you can see that basically when I'm trying to make a composition in this part and bring the lines, that I'm trying to keep it interesting. This is the main goal because when someone is observing your art, they will have a look, he made a pattern like this, this circle is going on this is in front. They will try to make sense of it because that's what we do. But then suddenly there's a circle end, but here it doesn't continue and there is not really a reason why, but it's interesting. But in here, it does. Is there a rule here? Because usually our world, there are physical ruses when something happens, when you drop an apple, it falls. It's a pattern. It always happens the same way, but this is a different world. Make it interesting. Make people think that there is a pattern and then it doesn't continue because there's a circle here, there's a circle here, but in here you can see behind you in here you can't it interesting basically. That's what I always try to do. And this doesn't have to follow exactly. It's good to go in a bit out. That's totally fine. So this is that. Later, we will do this. For now, let's start with where's my. I think to not do everything with the same thickness of pen that also creates a difference. But as a difference from this one, I think I want to bring this pattern. How shall I? I can do the pattern in here. But then this outside will change the composition too much, I'm thinking. It's basically the same Wise. There will be a square here and here. Okay, I think I will do I will follow a similar composition, but I will change the patterns a bit, so that you will also get to see what happens with a similar composition, but if you go slightly different directions. This pattern, I do it a lot. It starts simple. And then when there is a bit of waviness that these patterns, it really starts creating a texture. So it starts like this and then it gets closer to the previous line. So you can do a pattern similar to this. This already gives a very like it fills the space nicely. But when the patterns when the lines start changing directions and start getting closer, this gives the effect of imagine a sheet on a bed in the morning when you sleep like all the going up and down, it gives this feeling, then it creates more texture. So now, that's what I will do here. As you can see, when it gets closer here, it starts creating a crease on the paper, even though there is no crease, and I love this. Get close, get close, and away. Can you see how it starts bending the paper? It's all an illusion, of course. You can even touch them sometimes. Don't worry if it's not perfect like the previous one. That's also okay. To keep it simple, I will I think keep maybe just this is like a wave actually. I will continue going like this, but you can also change direction. Maybe let's change direction. Now what I'm doing is that it was always touching on this side, the line. I will now start touching on the left hand side. First, it comes to the center, close. And now I will get closer on the left hand side. Do you see it changed direction?'s And you can make the lines even closer, try to leave no gap at all, almost like the tiniest gap possible or make them bigger. That always gives a different feeling. Everything else you do changes the perception of this texture you are creating. So now as you change direction, it's starting to go out of the page, and I need to think about this part as well. So I will start bringing it back. As you can see, lines are not perfect as they come out of my hands, sometimes it gets shaky, but as a whole, you don't see you won't realize it. No one will. And focusing on the lines like this is such a it always makes me want to stop talking and just focus on lines and enjoy. But I can't do that. So now I will start another one from here. Let's see how it's going to look like. So it starts with a little pump. It's just, like, almost touching and then going away. Just focus on the lines. And now I kill it off. There was a little bump here and just died off. Towards the end, I will also make it go down and how I do that, I start making the line flatter and flatter. And there's a crease here and it just disappeared over here. That's one way of doing it as a difference to this one. And Now let's do this. I'm going to turn the paper like this for this one. And I'm going to use a brush pen. Again, there's a difference, I didn't use a brush pen here, and I will try to give the same feeling as this one, but I will do that with the brush pen. I like making this pattern with the brush pan because it looks very interesting. But in the meantime, it's very easy to do because all I'm doing, when I want thicker, I just press the brush pan a bit more and it just makes this and then sometimes I'm not even touching and then barely touching it. It makes this all very interesting looking pattern. Trying to barely touch is fun. Try to alternate it let's say in here, it started thick, I will start in and then go to thick. And making these patterns, coming up with these patterns, is very good for your grain. It calms you down. It calms me down. I hope it has the same effect on you guys with it like this. We are keeping the similar composition very similar, but using different patterns, so you can also see How it works out. And there is this outside pattern here. I'm saying outside because usually I keep things in a circle at the moment. Like, this kind of became my style but this was a bit early works, let's say, and I still like it. I will try to do something like this here. Um should we do the same way or Dots are good, that I believe at these dots, they were here. And then there were some over here in the previous one, I will maybe change the place. A bit more. And I will try to do something here to keep the composition again. This time, I'm just using the like with very much an ankle so it makes a very thick line, my brush pen. The last one. Now, I don't make this kind of marks much. I more moved into, for example, bringing a black circle. But I want to make it go across the I could say a black circle here. Not a black circle at the moment it's a circle. Let's see where it will go. And maybe another one here that's half visible. And another one that is here behind this one. And some also, like in the previous one, I fill that space with these marks, but I kind of move on from that and I will now add this one here. Behind it and another one because there will be a black box over there, another one here. Okay. And these ones, let's take the 0.2 again. This is a pattern I like. It's basically just um, straight lines, but it starts very close to each other. Then you start separating the metal a little bit, and more. And then you start. Binking them close regain. This is a very good exercise for your hand eye coordination by the way, and this will definitely help you with all the other drawing projects you want to do. Isn't it a fun effect because it makes pop? Because normally this is how you would see an object that's to the sides because it's curving away from you, the lines would get closer and closer. And these ones, I want to just make them black. Brush pen is very useful for that. When I do this, I often do three. I don't make it symmetrical. And sometimes I like leaving it just empty as well. Mm hm. And at the end, we're gonna use the masking tape. Something like this. But this time, I think I'm going to separate it from the site. Again, to differ from the original a little bit. And this will be it for our project. Now, where's my acrylic paint. This is also very easy to do. I'm just going to add a bit of not bit off, actually quite a bit of black acrylic paint like this. I will show you how much there is. Look, can you see? There's quite a bit of an acrylic paint there. I will just take a scrap paper like this. And then I'm gonna swipe this across. Okay. And then we're going to let this dry. But because this is acrylic, it will stay so that you don't have to wait until for it to dry. So let's reveal our painting. I'm just pinning straightaway before making my hands black, and then I will put it on the painting. That's what I'm afraid of. And almost there. Please don't trip. I'm in rush. And the final one And this is it. So now it needs to dry. And now we will finish here and we will see with the other all four of them in the next video season. 7. Final Touches: Deciding On the Final Layout: And this and the p so just to say, all four of them are now done, and I recorded all of them, but I only kept one of them in the class not to make it too long. But if you want, let me know in the comments or reach out to me, whichever way you can. So I will either put them as bonus lessons in the class or as YouTube videos. If you want to see them, let me know. Yeah, now we continue. Hello. Welcome back. Now, all the paintings are done, all the pieces. Let's make some space first so we can have a look at them. Let's push this away. We are done with books paint and this Okay, now we have lots of space. We can have a look at them. First, let's have a look at them. Compare them one by one with the original artwork from me to see because we try to keep the same composition but change a little thing, so we can see how those pattern changes affect the final image. So let's have a look at them side by side. That the composition is the same. But what are the differences? It's a bit like spot difference. That in here as an addition to the colors, I dip of yellow because I want to break in the original one I felt later, it was too much of the purple and violet. I wanted to break bit by adding yellow. That's main difference. In here, instead of this way we pattern, I addi these more geometric triangles and lines. In this one, I have these small circles that I kept them on all of them as a difference to this one also these mid size circles. I had them that I actually really like how much this actually brings to the picture, that this is a bit in the foreground, this is in the background, that this definitely gives more depth. I like that. In here, I had the circle here, but I brought this pattern in a similar pattern, but instead of outside, it's inside and this pattern I carried over and the black box are here. Overall, you can see how these changes even with the very similar composition, how much difference it makes. Now I'm going to put this here. Let's have a look at these two. Again, same composition. The main players are here. The colors are similar. This circle here, there is this circle and this circle here, and the black box in the same place. I have a pattern here, similar, but I use the tick part of the brush pen here instead and I like how it looks. In here, instead of the circle, empty circle, I actually made a ring and filled inside with pattern. And I like the effect of this one. And again, these small dots, small circles and the mid sized circles, they add a lot. These dots, as you can see, that it was giving a pattern to the whole area. Instead in here, we have them kind of concentrated and spreading out. And the pattern is a bit different here, and we try to do these little tricks that I was telling you how that makes it actually interesting for the observer that they expect to see something repeating, I do something and then they think they know what's going to happen next, like the pattern counting, but when it comes to the colorful parts, that suddenly it's straight lines instead of wavy lines. And we don't know why it doesn't have to be reason for it. It's just I always say, never let them know what your next movies. So keep it interesting. And what else is difference here? I left out these patterns that outside the geometric shapes. Again, here that this circle. This round object being behind the ring also gives more depth to this one and this pattern we carried over. And now let's put this aside here. Again, in here, I switched this circle to a ring. So then there is a ring here as well. So they are kind of connecting this way. Look. This could be a way to display them as well, actually. Now, I did it for the first time, but I quite like it. I think this is an idea to explore next time. Yeah, the black box here instead of this one, which I really like this very simple very lightly wavy lines that I like how much it brings to the painting that it really gives texture and the feeling of waviness and it jumps out of the paper a bit for me. I carried that over here in this one. Instead here, I put a ring that connects to another piece of the artwork. And we have the similar patterns here following that this outside pattern went inside here and we have this mid size objects, circles, and again, one empty, that one has a light pattern, it appears a bit gray. Differentiates from the white background and in here, again, it's radiating outside. An this one also as something similar, if you remember, and they also match this way. Can you see if we were to put them together, which we will actually look at in the next stage. And also, I use these dots to give a bit of a treaty effect to the drink. And overall, I'm very happy. In here, there was a little mistake that I I think I think here, it went too much to side and I just went outside the masking tape. So we can hide it. No worries. And finally, these ones that here, I kept the outside pattern outside the circle, but use the brush pan for it. The black box is in the same place in here. Instead of this pattern, I use this waby one that it was from another square. We have our black dots here as a difference that this pattern repeats here, and I carry the black box outside that's not touching the. As you can see, in the first glance they appear the same. But when you get into details that they are different. Now, let's leave only the New set. This goes there. This goes here, and this goes here, and this goes away my original artwork. And now let's have a look at this because this is a set and they're going to be all four of them like this. This is how I imagined it putting it on the wall, four of them together. And the question is, how? Because there are many combinations you can do because these abstract paintings, they can stand in anyway you want, and then they can stand in any combination. So this gives us like all of them, four different places, four different. I feel like at least I'm not a mathematician. The number I'm thinking of 64 combinations, but I don't know why exactly. And I won't be able to explain. So I think I don't like that this circle cuts off here. I think that should be definitely like this. But the main thing is I want this, this one, and this one to be coming from circle. So to be able to do that and leave on the site, I will need to put this here. No. No, if this is in the center, this was here. It's always inside. So what could accompany this? Let's start with this. I want these two to be in the center like this. They are radiating outside. And I think I want this one to be looking at the corner. And I don't want these to be so similar in the same place here and similar here. I need to change that. What if we put this one here? Anything else comes there looking. This looks interesting, but it kind of matches that because this ring is a bit bigger than this circle. Mm. I also they're not gonna be touching. There will definitely some borders between them. I'm just keeping them close to be able to fit in the frame at the moment. If they stay the same, they can only go other way around. Let's see how it looks. What if it was like this and like this. In this way, I like the black because these are in the first glance they are really catching your eye. So I want them to stand randomly.'s what if it was like that, the rings. I think I like this match up here. In the meantime, you can also just do this for even work on a big paper and make it really matchy matchy if that's what you like, and then cut them. That's also an option. But I don't want them to be matchy matchy. I don't want these circles to come exactly like this. I like how that looked when I put these two together earlier, the rings, and maybe that's an idea, but this is not what's happening here. I want them to match or align exactly. Just as a general look when you look first, what I'm trying to achieve is that I don't want the patterns to repeat and look the same way, the composition I just want them to look random. I think I'm happy with this and I knowiz that we are leaving m Neurographic art for this one. But I had an idea earlier. After actually finishing all this, I'm going to attach these. My idea was, as a difference to the original artwork. I'm going to actually bring the neurographic art, but at the very end. Even though these are not matchy matchy, for example, this circle doesn't continue here, they don't align here. That wasn't the goal, and I want to be that way. But again, that seems like a pattern. That's something I do, it's not matchy matchy. And the observer sees that. But we can do on the top of this neurographic art, which will be actually going across all the pieces, and it will kind of bring everything together. So in this last part, that's what we're going to do. I'm not going to do a lot. Few lines going across the pages and touching some other objects, and then they will have these nice nurographic art connections that, you know, no sharp corners, everything is smooth. I'm only considering if I want to I think I don't want to go over these. They are just so beautiful these colors. Let's see. Let's start with one. And then this one let's say it spun like this, like this. I can come out like that and touch this one and go here. I's punt this way. I went behind it. And it continues here. And let's say it goes like this. There is one. This is the cosmic connection we have. And later we'll do the connection. Let's do the lines first. F I want to around 'cause I am better from left to right, rather than right to left. On goes like this, let's imagine that's coming out here continues over there. Gonna make it go behind it. And this we will make it over here. Thick line to cover this end to be okay. And now I think one more line and I'm done. I don't want to overdo it. And that will be on this one. How shall we do? Let's turn it around one more time. And I'm gonna go in which direction I want to, I think, come from here. I think I don't want to go over here again, just from here to from this one to this one, I think. It comes like this and Let's imagine comes out. Like that. So now, when we do the connections and the various lines, it will be done. So for this, I'm gonna stop for a second and open the other camera, and I'm going to do them one way. S. 8. Bonus: Neurographic Art: And this Okay. Now, I put my zooming camera, let's say, for close ups. We are done with this. I'm gonna do them one by one. But later, I don't want to think, Oh, how was it standing? I just want to flip it over. And as it is, I'm just going to say, one, two, three, four. So if I bring these cords together, I know that this is the way they were meant to be. I'm going to focus on these lines and make the connections like we always do with aerobic art. Okay, those are done here. This way, everything is connected. And doesn't it look almost like it was plugged, like a planet plugged. I like it. Now, I'm doing these various thickness lines that I always do. Here, the line is not so perfect. I will try to bite that and comes here. Doesn't add a lot to painting? I like how it looks this way. I think it was a good idea. And I will do the smoothing the ends with 0.5 again because I want the thick line from the brush band go into the same thickness as 0.5, which is the origin line. And that's easier than with 0.5 itself. Okay. This one's done. That was quick. And you go here and let's take you. Now, the connections so. Another one down. How's it going? Are you guys enjoying yourself? Like this. Now, let's do the give some weight to some of these lines that I usually try to find the kind of idea for either on the same directions like these long ones or I can also add here as well. Mm. Let's here. Let's do at the end Bits. And I do here as well, of course. And on this side, I will do on the kind of long parts. There are some here as well. I'm gonna Perfect with 0.5. I realize it's also touching here. I think I want to these lines, they are a little kind of sticky and they are touching something that is always have this attaching to everything they touch, basically. W. Almost. Okay, another one. Done. Now, let's take. It's fine. So this way, in this class, we also have neurogpic arts like first three parts, and we didn't leave it behind. Just it came at the very end. In the other ones, it was always coming the first and leading everything else. And here it just came as a I don't know, like a thing that connects everything. No. Almost there. Here, let's put here. Now it's connecting here, I need to see and make it the same thickness, otherwise, it won't work. Let's do a quick check if I need to here. Here. Definitely here. Okay, and this one C. Now the last one. Enjoy making these rings that I feel like they add a lot to these kind of abstract pieces. Oh, lots of connections happening here. We are almost there. After this one is done. We'll put them all together and have one last look, and that will be it for this class. I hope you guys enjoyed it and made your own art. I love seeing what you guys make. That's to here straight away. I need to hide this mistake I made. Let's imagine it's coming like this. It's not perfect, I have to say, I didn't do a great job hiding this one. But it's not my only trick. When you make as many mistakes as I do, you start getting creative. From the beginning, I was thinking it will go this way. But I tried to hide it with a line first. As that doesn't work, I can always add a black dark dark planet here to hide my mistakes. So mistakes are nothing to be afraid of. They are just opportunities for some new addition to your art piece. Now let's connect this nicely. And this also connects here. Okay. And this way. It's hidden now. Okay. This is also connecting here, so there's one more connection here tonight. Okay, almost there. This comes back to that was good. And this one, this one goes like this. So it should actually ticker here and here. Also here. And this one like this, like this, so it's here. And only here left. Okay. So now, how are they standing? Let's have a look. One, four. One, two, three, four, these two should be here. And these two should be here, which immediately revealed here I forgot to make the connections. And also the add weight to these lines. So I'm going to do this quickly. Here And then they supposed to be the same thickness. Let's say look. Again, they are not going to stand right next to each other, so it doesn't have to be perfect. This is enough. And so, this one is like that, and this one is okay over there. I mentioned that one is coming from the corners, so it's okay. Here It needs to be I get ticker here. A tiny bit there. And over here, it's okay. So now, this is the final look. I think I'm happy that I thought of this and edit these lines. That this ribbon going through space. I actually really like how it looks. And it brought our pieces together a bit, and they're gonna stand a little bit apart. Probably, I will put this on the wall and share a photo as well. So this is it. We are done. Our art is complete. It's go on the wall. I'm looking forward to seeing you. I'll see you in the conclusion with you. Bye. 9. Conclusion: Art Can Be Relaxing: And this and the Thank you for joining me on this journey, and congratulations for being creative and taking the time to relax and slow down and be mindful. So what did we learn today? We can flick. Again, I'm always mixing. We can flip the script, and instead of starting from drawing and then painting, we can start with the painting, let the paint lead the way. And after that, we can come in with our pens and fit our nurographic lines and patterns and elevate the painting to another level. And remember, be interesting. Don't let them know what your next movie is. Let them assume something, and then you go ahead and do something else. Think that Oh, this pattern is on top. This pattern is at the bottom. No. In the next spot they look, they're not going to find the pattern. That keeps the painting interesting. If there is one thing you will take from this class, I hope it will be the relaxation you felt while driving and you will come back for it. While I got to here, I will remind you again, please don't forget to share your class project. That's my bread and butter. I love it. I can't have enough of it. Please, whatever you do, even if you don't think it's good, please share with us so I can see I can comment on them. I comment on every single class project. After that, or during while your painting is drying, please go and leave me a review. Reviews really helped me a lot as a teacher, and also it helps the other students to make a decision faster. So please take the time to leave a review. Also, as usual, I'm going to mention, don't forget to follow me here and wherever you can find the follow button. I hope you enjoyed this class. I really enjoy seeing your paintings after you take one of my classes. I really enjoy keeping you creative. So until then, stay creative. Bye. Okay, audio is recording. Let's do it. And video is recording too. I'm starting with Intra. Let's just get over with it. In Turkish, we have a saying that Cor couldn't ageify the irk which means being afraid of death doesn't help with anything or being afraid of death doesn't help with you not dying. Something like that. So let's just get on with it. Shall we? I'm saying all these things because I'm always nervous in front of the camera, and I'm keep delaying and checking everything, double checking, triple checking, and just procrastinating, pressing the record button. So, Jack, press record. Let's just do it. Me and my assistant, Jack, me, me man, me man. In this class, we are flipping in this class, we are flipping the script, flipping the script, flicking the scripts, flicking the script, flipping the script. Okay. Instead of drawing first, we are diving straight into color. Come on. Then we will slow things down with black lines, graphic patterns, and inky details that will elevate your painting to another plane of existence that I should do a full stop there. I run out of breath. One more time. You got it there. I'm racing again. It's a demonstration. And the other force but am I talking. Other force. What force? May the force be with you? Thank you for joining me. Again, let's do it again. I really enjoy seeing your paintings after you take one of my again. Bye now. Stay creative.
