On Saturday, March 21, I was fortunate to be able to share my love of Zentangle with four more new students.

Our first tile: Tangles used: Crescent Moon, Flux, Bales, and Msst.

They all commented on the fact that although they all learned the same tangles, their finished tiles were each unique!

Tangles used: Flukes, Printemps, Nzepple, Shattuck.

I really enjoyed introducing these four lovely women to  Zentangle. I also find my enthusiasm for tangling renewed by sharing it with others! Thanks, Ladies!

Fun with Color Zentangle Class

On February 21st, 2015 I shared some Zentangle Color play with four ladies at Your Crazy Place in Houghton. Having no formal art education, I felt a little nervous venturing into the world of color. So, in preparation for this class, I reviewed some basic color theory on the internet. I shared this information with the class and we talked about the color wheel, complementary colors, and some ideas for choosing colors. I recommended this website (design seeds) for color combination ideas.

We used the official Zentangle tiles for all of our color play. We made watercolor backgrounds using an inexpensive set of watercolors. We taped the tiles down to prevent curling and set them aside to dry. Then we tangled on them using a Sakura Pigma 05 pen, which has a harder nip and doesn’t clog as easily as the regular micron pens we typically use for tangling.

I love the colors they chose!

We also played with watercolor pencils. With this technique, first you tangle on a tile, then you color with the pencils, and then use a water brush to blend the colors.

There is also a watercolor background tile in this picture.

Some of the tangles used : Gneiss, Huggins, Vitruvius.

I appreciate the openness and sense of play that the students brought to the class. I think we all learned something.
