  • Hello friends and happy Friday! I've tried a different kind of art style for today's video. I've been in awe of those artists that can see shapes in their backgrounds and just create some freaking awesome art from it, and so I wanted to try it out. I hope I don't sound to crazy in this, but I had emotions. lot's of them.
    Here are some of the artists that I've been following trying to figure out how to best go about the process and please do go check them out and maybe give them a follow, if you like!

    Thank you for the most unique painting video I’ve seen! Most videos talk about the technical aspects of painting, but I had never seen one touch on the emotional side...the ups, downs, small setbacks, and big triumphs. I can’t tell you how much I connected with this. I admire you for stepping out of your comfort zone and sharing your intimate thoughts and feelings about the process. BTW, the piece is fantastic and made me want to duck into this secret garden for a bit! Be well!

      @_bettina_fernandez_  Год назад

      Right? It's crazy of people to say "I could do that!" But when you're actually sitting down to start, just to feel totally overwhelmed! And getting the right composition so it looks balanced is not easy! Thank you for your comment ❤️

    The neurographic benefit comes thru in the frustration you expressed.
    Neurographic art for working thru a struggle in the mind.

    I love this. I love watching other artists struggle a little. It’s challenging and you let that come through. Making you more human. I like your voice. You’re not loud and annoying like a few others on RUclips. I like your voice better than the text because I prefer watching what you’re doing to reading and trying to watch. You’re one of my favorites on a very short list. Keep being you 💙🦋

    • @_bettina_fernandez_
      @_bettina_fernandez_  Год назад +3

      I like seeing the process as well, and hearing the person's point of view during. I'm getting better at the whole voice over thing. I find my voice weird, so I appreciate your feedback of it not being annoying, haha! I hope you'll find my other videos just as fun. Thank you for watching 💕

    Watching you paint this piece was very relaxing. I don't know if I can challenge myself and try a similar piece. The stress moments you discuss I understand. I think sometime in the future I'll know when to try it. After all I think it's more about the process than the end result. Thank you for taking us on this journey.

  • @22mondie
    @22mondie 5 месяцев назад

    The first piece could have fooled me. It is beautiful. Just love the color pallet you used. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who gets stressed with something that should bring joy. I so often don't know when to stop "correcting " and more than a few pieces get tossed in a box with unfinished work or just tossed in the trash. After watching this video, seeing and hearing how you felt and kept going has brought me to a place where I will keep on till I'm happy.
    Thank you for letting us in on this process.

    Oh, Bettina! I cannot tell you how wonderful, inspiring, funny, and how much learning there was for me in listening to your process unfold and watching this piece come to life. I'm so grateful for how you shared your inner dialogue while creating, and have no doubt that I will listen again and again. The struggle you so generously made a part of this video is simply priceless, for perhaps anyone...as a complete beginner, it showed me the way. How to jump in and enjoy the struggle. Bless you. Grateful, excited new subscriber! 🙏❤🙏

    You’re so right about it being tough! I’m recovering from brain surgery …. 2 months ago. I’m fidgety and in lots of pain so neurographic art seems to help. Already did 5 of them. I’m a psychologist taking time off work to focus on healing myself. Beeeutiful job ❤❤❤❤!

    I've watched your video and I totally understand your point about getting inspiration from other artists and wanting to adopt things. But what I really missed was the fun of painting. Not always thinking about any rules. There are no rules in art, at least not in abstract art. Everything is allowed. I would like to recommend you to visit Denise Love. You may not like what she does, but the way she approaches and thinks about creating art is great. It helps me loosen up. Accepting things and not painting with the thought of having to create the great masterpiece. Thank you for your video❤

    • @_bettina_fernandez_
      @_bettina_fernandez_  Год назад +3

      Hi! Thank you so much for your comment. I just recently found Denise and subscribed to her channel, because her style definitely vibes with mine, and I love her process. When I created this piece it was my first time approaching it the way I did, so I was super nervous. This was quite a while ago, and with every painting I create, I'm getting better at letting go and just enjoy the process. I'm a creative person, but I can also be a little type A in my life. I think this is why painting and creating is such a good exercise for me. It teaches me to let go of perfectionism and the feeling of having to "compete" (mostly with myself) and just enjoy being in the moment. I love the feel of balance I'm creating for my life. And I hope that my videos help others see that sometimes the process of creation can be filled with struggles and is not always smooth sailing. But I also love that I'm being reminded by people like you , who leave me comment that it's okay and to not feel like there are rules to abide by when painting 😊 So thank you for that reminder and I hope you'll be back to watch me grow 🙏🏻

    I think you should be commended for sticking with this piece despite your frustrations. I have so many abandoned pictures because I got to the ‘ugly stage’ and gave up instead of working through it. Also, never apologise for showing us your process, or for changing genres. We as viewers, are privileged to be allowed to share your journey - whatever direction you take.
    I have long been a subscriber to Maria Grossbaum - love her work. I imagine you are aware of another artist whose work I love to follow, but just in case you’re not, here’s a link to one of her videos - ruclips.net/video/Uw8tYil--bg/видео.html

I discovered her early last year, when I was exploring neurographic art and have been subscribed to her ever since. I love her work! ❤️
