Duotone Tangling Class and Pop-up
Last Thursday the Art Clubbers and I had a very fun class on how to create this landscape ZIA using two different tones of inking pens. We started by using a composite string:
We then developed the main “plants” using Organicize techniques such as “make into a branch” and grafting:
Here are some examples of crazy plants using similar approach:
After the foreground pieces were made we created the background using foreshortening techniques:
We also worked on the shading of the background
Here is the final picture after all the shading was completed, using tangles Dillo-tant (Lisa Goldman), Moonpie, Tipple and Bales (Zetangle):
At the end of the class I had a surprise for the clubbers, a pop-up that I made using similar visual language to the piece:
Here are a couple of shots from the pop-up:

I've been MIA for over 20 days for a good reason: my husband and I went on a month-long adventure which included crossing the Atlantic on a cruise from Europe to Brasil, with some dear friends. Before leaving I selected some pictures to work on while aboard: this one is based on a Gothic artifact found in the John Leighton’s Suggestion of Designs (1880) found in archive dot org. Inktense pencils and Pitt Brush pens with a waterbrush.
