Q: Neurographics and Watercolor Meditative Drawing Workshop

$40/person • 3 Hours • No prior experience required • All materials included This beginner-friendly workshop introduces neurographics, a meditative drawing practice developed by psychologist Pavel Piskarev, combined with watercolor painting. The process uses flowing lines and rounded intersections to create layered, abstract compositions that resemble neural pathways and encourage mindful focus. Students begin by creating an abstract watercolor background using traditional or powdered watercolors (or both), learning simple techniques to allow color to flow naturally. Once the background is dry, participants are guided through a gentle neurographic drawing approach using continuous lines and rounded connections to build their composition. The emphasis of this class is on slowing down, releasing perfection, and enjoying the creative process. The combination of watercolor and intuitive linework offers a calming, grounding experience while resulting in a unique abstract artwork to take home.
