How to Create Abstract Art Using Watercolors and Mixed Media | Intuitive Neurographic Art Process

- Neurographic art makes me happy! And maybe it's not all that surprising that it has this effect on me, considering the science behind it. So when I'm feeling a little blue or need to bring some zen into my life, I will often turn to this mindful practice. It is my sincere hope that videos like this one can encourage you to create a mindful and artful practice of your own.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts.
Thank you for watching and for making the time to connect ❤️
You must speak about your neg. Mind set, so do I!❣️
Thank you for your kindness, your compassion and your support 🤗💕
Well dear one this has been my all time favorite session !!!!One blue is my favorite color.Two While you were describing the effect of nuergraphic art on the brain your sweet gentle, calming voice almost lulled me to sleep😂 Third and most of all I suffer from depression I still need medication.I thank God you don’t have to anymore. You have a very tender heart. You are a gift in my life Thank you for being so vulnerable💜💜💜💜💜💜💖💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Awe, Nancy ❤️ You are such a sweet and caring soul! Thank you for your kindness and support 🥰 As I know insomnia can often accompany depression, if I ever lull you to sleep, please know that it will only ever be interpreted as a great compliment 🤗 Thank you for making time to connect with me and share part of your story. It means so much to me 🥰 I took medication for many years before I was able to feel well enough to do without them. They can be such an important tool in our recovery and I'm thankful they are available to us.Thank you for helping me celebrate my recovery. You are a gift in my life too 🤗❤️

Just needed to tell you that you are really making a difference in my life. As an artist, taking me in cool directions. As someone who suffers from mental health, you are helping soften the way I treat myself. I have watched this video before work many times..lol..THANK YOU FOR SHARING!❤❤❤
🥲❤️ Thank you so much for making the time to reach out and share this with me! It means more to me than words could say. Lots of love being sent your way 🤗
Just found your video… I’m new to watercolors and am finding my space… Your video has inspired me to “create” … also CeeCeeCreations has helped me so much. God bless ❤️🙏
Thank you so much for making the time to connect! I’m happy you’re feeling inspired to create ❤️ CeeCee has inspired so many of us, hasn’t she 💕
I agree that “shoulds” suck out creativity. Sometimes I will set my own rules, but break them when necessary. ☺️ Love your work! 💖💖💖
Yes to setting your own rules and breaking them when you feel it's necessary! ☺️ LOVE it!!! Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much Gabrielle, I really really enjoyed watching you creating this gorgeous and stunning piece, and that magic green paint, is truly magical too. I really really love ❤️ the results and I really really appreciate your openness and honesty about your journey through illness. And I really really feel very privileged to watch and listen to you, so much so that I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too
Aww ❤️🤗 Thank you so much! You are so kind and I’m happy you made the time to connect with me! I’m glad you enjoyed watching this video and I appreciate your presence here ☺️
This is excellent. I’m inspired. I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🙌
Thank you so much for making the time to watch and connect! ❤️ Your kind words bring a smile to my face! I'm happy to have you here with me ☺️
Thank you, for the beautiful art, the process and for sharing your story. It is easy to feel very alone. Sometimes I stay quiet because I fear that if I start trying to explain I will never stop. The mindfulness of painting is a balm and I like being reminded that there is not one set way to do things. I am sure that you help many people. ❤
Thank you for connecting with me and sharing part of your journey ❤️ I get what you say about trying to explain. I felt that way for a long time too. I'm a the point where I honestly don't think we have to explain anything, just share because I know someone out there also gets it. One thing is for sure, it wasn't so easy to share with just anyone, especially at first. There is so much stigma and the last thing anyone needs is to feel more judged. Now, I know that we all have something we are dealing with, so more importantly I have stopped judging myself. Thank you for your compassion and courage ❤️ It means more to me than you could ever know! I'm so happy creativity has given us a way to connect ☺️
I am so glad to have found your channel, thank you for all you share and for taking the time to reply. You have helped me adjust my perspective and I am loving the change! 💫
@@Blue-rd5lq ❤️☺️ my pleasure! Thank you for making me smile with your kind comment!
This was a beautiful , inspirational journey. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words ☺️ I appreciate that you made the time to watch and connect with me ❤️
Oh my...I am in LOVE with this one. I have an affinity for the octopus...they live alone, are shy creatures, and very very smart! This reminds me a bit of an octopus! I mean this as a high compliment!!!!
❤️ It does have a bit of an octopus feel to it!! I love octopus too 🥰 Have you watched My Octopus Teacher? So good! I definitely take this as a compliment! Thank you for your kindness ☺️
This is a beautiful piece. 🥰
Thank you so much! ❤️☺️
I have only just recently discovered you, and I am so glad that I did. I am a creator, always enjoyed making things with my hands, but never considered myself an artist because I cannot sketch or paint or make anything "figural." But I have really been itching to try my hand at painting for quite some time now, so finally I bought a watercolor set and some good paper and a few brushes, and your art was my inspiration to open up the supplies and actually get started. I am going to use this video and the piece that you created here as the inspiration for my next session. I have never heard of neurographic art, but I am fascinated and want to learn more. The style that you did here feels accessible to me, and I learned from the first painting you inspired last week that it is indeed very therapeutic. I am suffering from some anxiety and depression lately, and the focus that this type of art brings is like a soothing balm. Thank you for sharing not only your immense talent with us, but a little about your mental health journey as well. That is so meaningful and you are helping people. Thank you! I will be watching so many more of your videos on my own journey. ❤
❤️💕❤️🤗 Thank you so much for making the time to reach out and connect with me to share part of your journey. I cannot even begin to tell you how much it means to me that you’ve been inspired to explore your own creativity by watching some of my videos. 🥰 I’m so excited for you and hope you will have so many hours of creative fun! I wish you continued healing and self compassion as you navigate this new venture. Thank you for being here with me and happy creating 🎨🤗💕
When talking about mental health, it is important to include that health care is inaccessible to too many. That is the number 1 barrier to getting help. More than shame. Look at Jordan Neely for example. A man crying out loud for help and instead got 2 hands around his neck till dead. I do love your art work and find you to be an inspiration.❤ Thank you.
Thank you Denise ❤️ Yes, what you say is so true and it is also very sad. Hopefully, the more we can talk openly about mental health, the more we can diminish the stigma and fears around the subject so people can gain better access to the support they need.
🙏💖💖💖
💝🤗
I just came across this video. This is gorgeous 😍. I, too, suffer from mental health issues as well, and painting really helps me. Thank you for this tutorial 😊
Thank you for making the time to share part of your journey with me and for connecting Linda ❤️☺️ I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you making the time to watch!
Love your painting❣️
Thank you for your continued kindness ❤️
What a beautifully gentle video & method of art making ... thanks for sharing & g'day from Australia 🐨 🐾
Thank you so much! ☺️ Cheers from me here in North America! ❤️
What a lovely way to express yourself. Thank-you for sharing. I have three autoimmune problems. Hard to deal with. I know what you mean.
❤️🤗 Thank you for your kindness and compassion! It is lovely to connect with you! I'm sending lots of love your way 💕
Thanks so much for sharing your personal story. It has helped me a lot.
Thank you for making the time to be here with me ❤️ It feels good to know I am not alone 🤗
Thank you once again for this beautiful creative art. Your voice is so soothing and art work has inspired me so much. I have not created 4 pieces since starting to watch you. Thank you for sharing your story too. I was diagnosed with neurology condition couple of years and creativity has saved me from going down under. I am very grateful to have come across your channel and few others who by sharing their art keeps me inspired, in many more ways then just sharing art, it's become a support system. You are a real inspiration. Keep up your great intuitive creativity going because I am sure just like me you are helping others in many more ways then one. Sending you love and light. Thank you 🙏
❤️💕❤️ Thank you so much for this message of compassion, understanding and support! Thank you for having the courage to share part of your journey with me. It really makes me smile so big to know you are painting with me 😁 It's really something quite special how therapeutic and healing the creative process can be and it's so lovely to be able to share this with you. Whether you know it or not, messages like this one also inspire me to keep doing what I do and it means a lot to me that we can connect in this way. 🥰 Sending love and light your way too ✨❤️
@@gabrielleannacormierart thank you. ❤️
I am very happy for you, well done!!
Aww ❤️☺️ Thank you so much for sharing in my joy!!! I appreciate your kindness 💕
💛💛💝
Merci beaucoup ma tante Diane ❤️🤗
@@gabrielleannacormierart 😘😘
Gabrielle. Thanks for the answer.
You’re welcome!
I truly love watching your process as you work. Whenever I use stippling, I find myself dragging the pen periodically making a mini line instead of the dot it should be.
Hi Ron ☺️ I have the same issue on occasion as well! Stippling is such an exercise in mindfulness and patience. I try to remind myself that every mark has its place. Thank you for making the time to connect with me! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos. ❤️
Oh goody. Blue my fave color. And a long video. Just started it and so excited 😆
Hi Gaby 🤗 It was a fun to play and create this one! I hope you enjoyed the video ❤️
Loved the blues, always love watching your process. It's so soothing as is your voice. Sometimes I watch your videos just to chill. And, Thank You for not only sharing this video, but also for sharing your experience with depression. It IS so important to tell our stories, because it helps so many who are struggling with similar issues. If there is a barrier to getting help, your story brings awareness to the many ways we can aid our mental health in our daily life. 👋👋👋👍✌& ❤
Aww ❤️🤗 I really appreciate your kindness and compassion! Thank you for making the time to watch this video and thank you especially for reaching out to connect in solidarity. It means more to me than you could know 🥰
It is so beautiful. Thanks
Thank you so much for your kindness 💕
I was very surprised with the your outcome. Maybe I will seriously try this someday I certainly could use the medical theory for my depression.
Thanks for sharing
Hi Constance ❤️ I have had battles with depression as well and I can understand how difficult of a time this can be. Art has been an important part of my healing journey and it was especially healing when I could approach my process with a good dose of self-compassion. I love intuitive neurographic art because it takes away the pressure to create with the expectation of certain results. Sending you lots of love and wishing you well on your healing journey 🤗 Thank you for making the time to connect and share a part of your journey with me!
My dear Gabrielle,
Thank you so much for destigmatizing mental health. Like you said - it is soooo common. I had a depression in 2020 and creativity was instrumental for my recovery. Your gentle and soothing approach to watercolors is delightful and healing and I thank you for being such a beautiful light in my life! ❤️
Awe, Lisa ❤️ Thank you for your compassion and kindness! Thank you most especially for sharing part of your journey with me! It takes courage to do so and it that fact is not lost on me. I'm so happy creativity helped you like it has helped and continues to help me. I really think it can heal the world and every week, when I connect with you all and read all the kindness being shared, I know we are doing a lot of healing together 🥰 Thank you for being a beautiful light in my life too 🤗
Beautiful and so relaxing 🙏🏻💖🤩
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️ Thank you for making the time to watch and comment ❤️
Mixed media art? More like “Magnificent blue circles that are smart!” 👍🔵
Haha! I LOVE it! Thank you for your kind words ❤️☺️
@@gabrielleannacormierart You’re most welcome, and don’t hesitate to let me know if you’d like to hear another pun!
Thank you lovely lady not just for your art but the whole holistic healing approach - connection, calmness and vibrational frequency music 🙏🥰
Thank you for commenting with such kindness Dawn ❤️ I'm glad you enjoyed this! ☺️
I love the contact case idea for water! So many great ideas I’ll be borrowing to lighten my travel art kit. Thank you!!
It's a pleasure for me to share ☺️ Thank you for watching!
Thank you for showing me what I need to create in my life , I have done some intuitive art myself and find it calms my spirit , most of the time I don't know what I'm going to do when I sit down to paint , so I close my eyes and touch my paper and I get a spark in my minds eye and I pick up my pencil and start making rocks , and a few doodles , then I'm on my way to something very special , since I've been painting this way my daughter Cyndi wants everything I paint and when I finish a painting I sit back and enjoy what I have created , thank you so much for starting me on this journey !
Linda ❤️ I love what you say about closing your eyes, touching your paper and getting a spark in your minds eye! YES!!!! It seems that you are very much connecting with your own inner guidance and that is special beyond measure. How lovely it is that your daughter is also so excited about your paintings and that you can share this special gift with her. Most importantly, you can sit back and admire your beautiful work - now, that's even more special 🥰 Thank you for sharing and for making the time to connect with me 🤗
Thank you 😊😊😊
I'm happy to share! Thanks for watching ☺️
I really love the outcome of your painting. Making art, following my intuition and being in the moment, is very healing and makes me feel more present and focused in my life. Thank you for your openness and sharing your process with us.
Hi Donna ❤️ I’m so glad you’re connecting with creating intuitively! ☺️ It has been such a therapeutic way of creating for me and I always feel more relaxed after I paint. Thank you for your kindness and for making the time to connect 🤗
uhhh I have been through so many difficult things in the past year and somehow I ended up getting into art. I have absolutely zero experience with any sort ofw I’ve always just consider that some thing that I can’t do but the issues I’ve had over the past year have made me need something to focus on that I can do in a quiet area by myself, so that is why I decided to try painting it has been the most amazing thing to realize that this is exactly what I needed. I just found your channel today and it is making me so happy thank you.
And as it turns out about 10 days ago, I shattered my right wrist and had surgery and now my only option for doing art is to use my left non-dominant hand. So I’m going for it and wow it’s great.
Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry to see you’ve such a rough year 😔 And at the same time I see that overcoming these challenges has demonstrated just how resilient you are ❤️ It’s beautiful that you let your inner guidance steer you in the direction of getting into art. Art has always been very therapeutic for me (especially when I approach it with curiosity and self-compassion). I’m happy to see you’re connecting with that you see on my channel ☺️ Creating with our non dominant hand is a wonderful way to free ourselves from creating “rigidly”. I wish you a speedy recovery and many hours of creating happily in your quiet area. 🤗 Thank you for making the time to connect and share your story with me ❤️
Thank you for stretching the creative process around Neurographic art. This gave me so many ideas and was so relaxing to watch.
Yay!!!! ❤️ Your comment makes me smile big 😄 Thank you for making the time to watch and connect! Happy creating 🎨
Hi from Art by me in Sydney,yours look fabulous.
Thank you so much! greetings from North America ☺️
This looks so pretty thank you
Thank you for your kindness ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful art and your inspiring recovery story! Greetings from Germany :)
It brings me joy to share both my art and my personal experience of journeying back to health ❤️ Thank you for making the time to watch and connect with me ☺️
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for this.
Thank you so much ❤️☺️
I must comment again after watching the entire video…your honesty - esp bringing up shame (nod to Berne Brown) - so inspiring!! Depression has been a plague nearly all of my life. Good to hear that you have found healing and management that works for you! Hugs from the US.
Thank you for making the time to reach out again and share with such compassion and understanding ❤️ (I may or may not have read a few Brené Brown books over the years ☺️😉) I empathize with your experience. It was a long journey for me too and even though I am feeling healthy and well now, I know there's always a possibility it will knock on my door again. The difference now is that I am much better equipped to recognize when I'm slipping down the slope so I can put all of my tools and resources into action. I wish you much support, resources and love on your journey. You are not alone and I am so thankful for the courage you show in sharing your story and the compassion you so kindly offer me. ❤️ Big hugs being sent your way too 🤗
@@gabrielleannacormierart I would have NEVER guessed that you are a depression WARRIOR! You are so positive and gentle in your videos. Sometimes I use your videos to fall asleep to because your voice makes me safe and calm. ❤️❤️❤️
@@BB-nz5sk ❤️ Depression warrior!!! Yes, yes and yes to that! Do you know the song Inner Ninja? It’s kind of become my theme song for celebrating all the strength I’ve developed overcoming my struggles 💕 Thank you for being so supportive and kind 🥰 And thank you for the great compliment you offer with letting me know my videos can help you feel safe and calm so you can fall asleep 🥲
I ust dicovered your channel and I am so happy I did. I have been depressed almost the entire kast 15 years. I discovered that art and creativity can indeed help. Many thanks from the South of France.
Merci beaucoup d'être ici avec moi! ❤️ I appreciate that you have the courage to also talk about your journey with depression. Art can be so therapeutic indeed and I wish you many hours of healing through creativity 🤗 Je vous envoie beaucoup d'amour 💕
Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you
Thank you so much Alison ❤️
Love it thanks
You’re welcome 😊 Thank you for your kindness! ❤️
The iridescent paint is so effective. Thank you for another inspiring video.
I love that paint so much!! ❤️ I'm glad I discovered it and have been able to share it with you here ☺️ Thank you for watching and for making the time to connect Julie 🤗
Thanks for creative videos 😍
Happy to share! Thank you for watching ❤️
Love your art, and your approach and philosophy has really helped me to create again and actually enjoy it!!! I identify with so much of what you say. THANK YOU!
Hi Valerie ❤️ I read messages like yours and happy tears immediately come to my eyes 🥲 YES to you creating again and enjoying it!!! LOVE it 🥰 Thank you for making the time to watch and connect 🤗
YOU'RE AMAZING. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT WITH US.
Thank you so much for your kindness! ❤️❤️❤️
This is beautiful- love it and makes me want to try it as well. Your videos are comforting- you are a gentle teacher.
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ I'm so glad you're feeling inspired to give it a try as well ☺️ Happy creating 🎨
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊❤️
This was so soothing to watch and to also listen to talking about your life struggles and your creative work, mental health is so wide spread now and if you help 1 person in 100 that is 1 less that is suffering. Art is a wonderful tool and with Neurographic art we don’t need to be artists to do it or perfect, which is sometimes a big cause of anxiety in some. I love being imperfect and free flowing. Thank you 🙏🏻 for giving your time here on TH-cam and I am so glad you are now healthier and happier in life, life today for most people is a battle and there is so much going on in the world now we all need to try and spend time in the now and BREATH ❤
Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion ❤️🤗 I'm so glad you enjoyed watching this video and I appreciate that you made the time to connect with me. Yes to healing through the beauty and power of creativity! ☺️
Thank you as without wonderful people like you that share their creativity gift then we wouldn’t have the pleasure of seeing it and taking something from it 🙏🏻
Wow! What a beautiful piece of art you created! I absolutely love it! Thank you too for sharing about your mental health journey. I’m glad you found stability and health. This life, every life is precious. I have had significant mental health challenges. Making art has helped me so much…and I have decreased my meds! I make art daily, but if I skip too many days, I feel it. I have only made neurotrophic art once, but it was more like a doodle. I will give it a go again. ❤️
Hi Mary ❤️ Thank you so much for making time to connect with me and share a part of your journey with me 🤗 It looks like you too have found ways to work through your own challenges and have discovered ways to increase your wellness as well 💕 I know it's a journey that can ebb and flow and at the same time, it feels so empowering to get to a point where we know ourselves better and we know what works for us. And that creativity can be such an important part of this journey, well, to me it's the cherry on top of the sundae 🥰 Have fun rediscovering neurographic art!! It's one of my favorite ways to unwind and bring a little more zen into my life ☺️
Thank you so much for sharing your story, I'm sure you will be helping many people! I'm so thankful you are feeling better, but understand it's still a struggle at times. I don't know what I would do without crafting, it helps me get through some hard times! I suffer from depression, however I see things more from a caregivers point of view. My daughter suffers from severe depression, anxiety, bipolar and schizophrenia. She has a very sad lonely life. I can only pray that one day she will have the mindset you have, and she'll do some things to help herself get better! Extra hugs for you this week! 🤗💕 Regarding this week's painting I find it so relaxing and I love the white dots you added. Whenever I don't know what to create I turn to circles, I love circles too! 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣 Have a great week!
Hi Lori ❤️ thank you for your words of compassion, understanding and support 💕 Yes, depression and other health issues in general are not just a struggle for the person experiencing them, but they definitely take a toll on caregivers and loved ones. Having access to good resources and support can be so helpful for everyone. As a parent, it must be so difficult to see your daughter having these experiences and know that it’s not within your control. Thank you for having the courage to share this with me ❤️ I hope the right professional supports are accessible and available to all of you. I’m glad you have creative outlets to help you make time for you. Sending extra love and hugs your way as well sweet friend ❤️🤗
Your sweet response brought tears to my eyes. You are a very special person, and I'm so thankful we have connected through YT! I can tell that you enjoy life and make the most of your experiences! I feel blessed to have "met you"! 💕
@@love2create62 awe ❤️🥲 Ditto sweet friend! It’s a blessing that we have connected like this for sure ☺️🤗✨🙏❤️
Merci de partager cette très belle création dans des tons de bleus. Merci aussi de nous partager une partie de ton parcours de vie. La thérapie par l'art est très forte, mais parfois sous-estimé, c'est super que tu la mette en lumière dans tes vidéos. Bref, prends bien soin de toi, et à la semaine prochaine.🙂
C'est moi qui t'envoie un gros merci ❤️ J'apprécie beaucoup ta gentillesse et ton message empathique de soutien. Merci de prendre le temps de regarder mes vidéos et de communiquer avec moi (en français d'autant plus ☺️). Prends bien soins de toi aussi et bonne semaine 🤗
Very nice 😊
Thank you! Cheers! ❤️☺️
WOW I just came across your video!!!! You talked about your depression and Neo art. It's amazing how you can just go into another realm of calmness. The salt idea is awesome for texture...didn't think about salt...As I watched and lessened to you, you brought a HUGE calm to my soul and the Ideas of art just came flooding in. I've been doing Neo art for a few months now, and I have an art bag which I take every where. And seeing the wonderful art you do and how it works with our brain is just amazing. You have a very beautiful soul and it comes out in your ART. Thank you for sharing...you have helped my soul and mind to fine a calm inside of myself....thank you so much!!!!
Jan ❤️🤗 Your kindness and generous comment are such a gift to my soul! Thank you for making the time to watch my video, to connect with so much compassion and to be so encouraging! I appreciate you and I'm so happy this video brought some calming energy into your life ☺️💕
Hi Gabrielle. Thank you for a beautiful video ❤ I’ve just read/ listened to a book called Your Brain on Art. It’s explains in a deep way what you are saying in this video. I promise myself to start this kind of art. Kind regards Tone
Thanks for sharing!! ☺️ I’m going to check out that book! Thank you for making the time to watch and connect! Happy creating 🎨
Thank you for another beautiful session of watching you paint. Also, Thank you for sharing your journay with depression. I also suffer with depression and OCD. I am still on medication but I do find creating very theapeutic. All the best.
It's a pleasure for me to share my creative process and connect with you all ❤️ Thank you for sharing part of your journey with me 🤗 Medication was such an important part of my healing journey. I don't know that I would have been able to get better without taking this very important step. I'm glad you are listening to your own inner guidance and are doing what is best for you ❤️ And thank goodness for the healing qualities of creativity. Wishing you all the best as well 🤗
I love this session so much as I'm making my bubbles, I'm listening to you and see a reflection of myself.. art has been so therapeutic for me.. i work 10-16 hours a day 7 days a week, (we own a pet sitting service) I just need 5 minutes to take some me time. Thanks again for sharing
Nothing makes me happier than knowing people are painting "with me" ❤️☺️ Thank you for making the time to connect with me and share a part of your journey with me as well. A pet sitting service sounds blissful and at the same time 10-16 hours, 7 days a week - wow!! I wish you all the 5 minutes you need to give yourself some TLC too. Thank you for being caring and loving you 🥰
I too struggle with Anxiety & Depression, very severely so since the Covid vaccines & menopause 😢 I really appreciate you sharing this and it does help me feel less alone ❤️❤️
Hi Jill ❤️ Thank you for your courage and for reaching out to connect 💕 Yes, menopause is not an easy time on it’s own - add depression and anxiety and it’s even tougher. I can imagine how hard that must be and I empathize 🤗 I’m in perimenopause and it’s not been easy - migraines, hot flashes, memory issues, mood swings, etc. - no fun! I’m trying to be hopeful about menopause, but I’m also a little scared. Menopause is another topic we don’t talk about very openly and yet it’s such a normal part of life. Thank you for bringing this up - I’m with you on this one too ❤️🤗
Thank you for the uplifting lovely video. So helpful to know we are not alone. Love from south africa
🤗 Dean. We are never alone ❤️ Thank you for your compassion, kindness and for connecting with me. Love being sent your way too 🤗
Thank you
My life and my art has been so improved by listening to your calming voice . Helping me to cope with the process of aging. Once again thank you so very much
@@deanweyer4205 ❤️❤️❤️🤗
I finally finished your long video. My work life really interferes with what I want to do lol. I loved this painting, no surprise. You focused in close again I love that. Thank you!! You do have to stop using all those different pens though because I’m like “I need that!” Lol. ❤💙❤💙 thank you for sharing and have a great day!! 😊
Hahaha! You are funny 😂 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Speaking of pens, I was working on another painting yesterday and realized my fine tip Slicci pen was out of ink and I didn't have another one waiting on the side lines 😱 It was almost a moment of panic and I begrudgingly ended up using another pen I really didn't like all that much. Dependent much?! 😂 What are your favorite pens? Thanks for watching and making the time to connect ❤️ Wishing you a great day!! 🤗
@@gabrielleannacormierart I hope you are having a great day so far! 😀 I personally love to work with my white pens after creating color and placing details you have shown in your art work. When I start doodling I cannot stop and I’m at it for hours at times. It’s so relaxing and I never even thought about getting into this until discovering you, my dear Gabrielle ♥️ this brush pen is something I need to get though it’s so helpful filling in areas quickly. I want to thank you for spending all this time editing and creating your videos and realize the time it takes to produce. I did invest in a fountain pen (wonder why?!) lol and love working with it to create the stippling. Oh I want to create rather than work now haha. 💞appreciate you ❣️ enjoy your Friday
@@gabydavis10 yes to white pens ❤️ isn’t it so satisfying to see that white pop against the colors underneath 🥰 I love how passion you are about creating! It’s definitely part of your flow, I can tell ☺️ and yes, that brush pen is pretty sweet too! Plus it comes with extra ink cartridges! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I appreciate you too 🤗
I have just found your TH-cam channel and feel like you and I are artistic soulmates in a way. I love watercolor but find myself struggling to pick subject matter. I have often related, though, with geometric shapes, especially circles. At some point, years ago, I was intrigued into buying a book about "crop circles." AND I remember how fun it was when I discovered neurographic art! Lastly, I join you and others in the challenge presented over the years by depression. But, thank God, I had my love of art and crafts, my small group of lovely woman friends who shared my passions, and, last but not least, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Awe ❤️ Thank you for sharing all of this with me! It brings joy to me to connect with kindred spirits like you and I am happy to see your creativity has also offered you support as you have walked through your dark days in depression. Circles are beautiful and such a great symbol for continuity and connectedness. Thank you for making the time to watch my videos and for connecting with me 🤗
I can totally relate to you going through depression. I am an artist as well and have had my fair share of depression. Creating art seems to be an Avenue out of my depression. Why is it that it seems most artists in music or creative people all seem to suffer from some forms of depression? Is it some sort of balance between right brain- left brain that takes place? I wonder. Any way, I love your art and your videos, they are truly mesmerizing 👍😊
❤️☺️Thank you so much for making the time to connect with me Sherry! You ask an interesting question and one that I’ve wondered about as well. Maybe you’re on to part of the answer and I wonder also if people with very creative minds are also very sensitive and attuned with their emotions and the need to express themselves. The word sensitive is a bit of a tricky one to use here as I’m sure many of us often here we are « too sensitive ». I’ve come to appreciate how sensitive I am because it makes more empathic and able to connect with other people. Regardless, creativity is a blessing in my life and I’m glad it is helpful to you as well. ❤️🤗
C'est magnifique ! J'ai découvert votre site depuis peu et je suis hypnotisée. J'essaie de faire la même chose mais ce n'est jamais aussi beau. Je pense que cela est dû en partie au matériel que j'utilise qui n'est pas de bonne qualité. Je suis en dépression depuis plusieurs années et je vous remercie de partager des émotions très souvent incomprises par les autres. En tout cas je passe un bon moment à regarder vos videos puis en autre en essayant de reproduire. Comme je suis toujours seule je vous remercie de m'apporter cela. Toute ma sympathie.
Bonjour Martine ❤️ Merci beaucoup de me partager tes beaux commentaires et merci davantage d’avoir aussi le courage de me partager une partie de ton expérience avec la dépression. 💕 Je sais que ce n’est pas toujours évident de faire un tel dévoilement. Je suis contente de voir que tu te donnes le temps de faire de la peinture.❤️ Tu as bien raison que les matériaux qu’on utilise pour peindre peuvent avoir des effets biens différents! Continue quand même à utiliser les matériaux que tu as et quand tu te sentiras prête, petit à petit, peut-être qu’ils serait bon d’explorer d’autres matériaux. Je suis certaine que tes œuvres sont aussi très jolies ❤️ (parfois, dans mon cas au moi, c’est plus difficile pour nous-mêmes de reconnaître les belles qualités de notre travail 😉). Merci de peindre avec moi, de regarder mes vidéos et de prendre le temps de communiquer avec moi 🤗
How long does it take you to complete a piece like this? Hours? Days?
It's so beautiful and so therapeutic to watch your videos. I'm grateful to you for sharing...all of it.
Thank you so much for your kindness ❤️ Paintings like this one probably take me a few hours (including the drying time). I like to take my time and make the process as mindful as possible ☺️
Absolutely beautiful! What brant of paint do you use? and does it come in preloaded trays?
Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️ I use a number of different brands of paint, some come in premade palettes and then I also buy watercolors in tubes and create my own palettes. I usually list all of the supplies I used for every painting in my video description. In case you're not sure where to find it, here's a short video I made to help with finding the video description: th-cam.com/video/hyGdK2SgT3A/w-d-xo.html. I hope this helps! Thank you for making the time to connect ☺️
@@gabrielleannacormierart Thank you. That was very helpful.
I have just discovered you today and I’m speechless!!!! I’ve never liked watercolors because I prefer “bold”…. However, YOU have changed my mind!!! I will be getting watercolor and markers out Tonight!!! I absolutely LOVE these colors and the “doodling” to make this priceless masterpiece!! I Love that translucent “greenish” color!!!! What is that called??? I’ll look below in hopes you listed your materials. But, Hello from Louisiana!!!!
Oh! I’m so happy to read this! Yay for connecting and sharing an appreciation for bold artwork! ☺️ That translucent color is called tropical sunrise magic green and it really does seem magical. You can find it online at Kremer Pigments ☺️ And yes, all the products I use are usually listed in my video description. But, sometimes I forget to mention something. Don’t ever hesitate to reach out! Thank you for your kind words and for making time to connect. Happy creating!! ❤️🎨✨
WOW... This is wonderful. I was hoping you could tell me what the black, white, etc. products you used to create this beautiful work of art? If you've already posted this info.. sorry. Thanks for sharing. Kelly from Ontario, Can
Hi Kelly ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words! You can find a complete list of the products I used to create this painting in my video description (usually you can find this under the video by clicking on more). I appreciate you making the time to watch and connect ☺️
What kind of pen are you using to make those tiny hair-like lines? You show the pen at 32:18 on video but I can't make it out. Just discovered your videos. Amazing work!
Thank you for your kind words! ❤️ Just as a heads up, I list all of the products I use in my video description (you can find this below my video by clicking on "show more". The pen you mention is the following: amzn.to/3BJ4tPT. For creating fine line work, it's my favorite ☺️
Gabrielle. I came across your art work recently and I have been so impressed. This work is stunning. I love your use of colours, particularly this blue, and then all of the intricate, yet relaxing, finishing off that you do in black and white. Most of the paper and paint that you use is readily available here in the UK, but the one that really fascinates me is the Kremer pigment. The effect that it has in the final touches, just makes everything 'pop'. I have looked everywhere for this over here, I've even tried a few things that I thought would have a similar effect, but nothing matches your Kremer pigment. Would it be under another name in the UK? Would I have to order it from somewhere in the USA? Does anybody reading this have any suggestions? Anything that you can suggest would be considered. Thank you so much for letting me watch you work and appreciating the mindful, restful state that you lull me into whilst I watch you. Many, many thanks
Hi Liz ❤️ First of all, thank you so much for your kindness and I'm so happy we are able to connect here ☺️ Yes, you are right that Kremer Pigments (especially their iridescent paints) stand out among many of the other paints I've tried. I know they are available in the US and in the EU, but I'm not sure about the UK (though I do see a little British flag icon at the top right of their website - www.kremer-pigmente.com/en/). Friends in Europe have definitely been able to buy from them and I do think they ship to the UK (again, I'm not sure). CSY Art Gallery Watercolors (which I think might be available through Amazon in the UK) makes two iridescent paint sets that seem to have really nicely pigmented paints that could be similar to Kremer's paints (I haven't tried them yet so I cannot say for sure, but they do look promising). The Tropical Sunrise Magic Green I used in this video has interference properties (the color seems to shift slightly in the light) and it's might be harder for me to find another paint to replace it just off the top of my head... Maybe Coliro Pearlcolors could be similar? Their Magical Creatures set has some nice option though maybe not quite as shimmery... I hope this can offer you a few good leads! If you discover anything fantastic along the way, please don't hesitate to share as it could be useful to me and probably many of our other creative friends in this community ☺️ Thank you for making the time to connect 🥰
@@gabrielleannacormierart Good morning Gabrielle. Thank you so much for your reply. I searched... I found it... I browsed... I bought it. You are such a star young lady, and I really appreciate your help. You also suggested so many alternatives that I could be on a voyage of discovery. My thanks for your taking the time to send such a prompt reply, and for sharing your knowledge. Best wishes, and keep doing what you're doing clever lady 🙂
@@lizrobinson9238 ❤It is an absolute pleasure for me to share what I can and to connect with you Liz! Thank you again for your kindness and happy, happy creating with your new supplies ☺🎨
What are the types of markers do you use? I’m carving wall liner foam. & thinking how I might merge the two. Thanks. .Your so inspiring🤪😎
Ooooooh!!! That sounds really cool!! ☺️ You can find a complete list of all the materials I use to create my paintings in my video description (you can find this under the video by clicking on "show more"). My favorite markers are by Kuretake (Zig Writer) and Posca paint pens are pretty cool too. I'm not sure how you plan to use the markers in your carvings, but maybe regular sharpies would be good too and they are less expensive. I hope this helps! Have fun exploring in your creative process ☺️ 🎨 And, if you don't mind sharing once you've created your artwork, I'd love for you to send me a pic on Instagram.
@@gabrielleannacormierart thanks for the prompt response. I hope to try you doddle style. Carving a Moon Gate at the moment.
@@neilalexander7723 Sounds amazing!!! I love your creativity ☺
Can you please list the types of pens you’re using? I got the posca, you mentioned fountain pens, but what’s that brush pen that looks like eyeliner?
Hi ☺️ The pocket brush pen and all the products I used are listed in my video description (click on “more” below the video to read the full description). I do this for every video, but sometimes it does happen that I forget to list something so please don’t hesitate to reach out if I do. I hope this helps! ☺️ Thank you for watching and making the time to connect!
Gabrielle what part of maine do you live in...I live in Houlton...I am from Caribou originally...I think I heard you mention that you are from Canada
Hi David ☺️ I live in the Bangor area! I’m originally from New Brunswick and we moved here to be closer to my family. Loving Maine ❤️
Whst is the Magic Green? Is it interference paint? Anyone know where to get it?
Hi Josina ☺️ The Magic Green is the iridescent color I applied in the middle of the shapes in my painting. To me, it is definitely reminiscent of an interference paint. ☺️ It is actually called Tropical Sunrise Magic Green and is available through Kremer Pigments. Here is a link to the product on their website: shop.kremerpigments.com/us/shop/ready-made-colors/506588-kremer-watercolor-colorstream-t10-03-tropical-sunrise.html. They are a very busy company and so if you place an order, it can take some time for the order to arrive. But, my orders from them have always been worth the wait ☺️
what is size of the paper you working on?
Hi Cheryl! I’m not in my studio to check the actual size right now, but I believe it is 9 x 12 inches. ☺️
Rules are for suckers. Lol. Just kidding but I’m the same way
To each their own, as they say ☺️ Thanks for the chuckles! 😂
