Black tiles were always so under-appreciated, but not anymore!
My friend Cathy Boytos was going to give a class on shading on black tiles and asked me to review the ebook early. This is what she wrote after to me, via Facebook:
Eni.....for the past hour, I've been studying your book and practicing and I just LOVE this technique!!! I've been doing Zentangle for several years, but I always felt that the black tiles got the least amount of attention and I wasn't quite sure how to give 'em some love. You've done it! I am so impressed with how you are using the markers to help with the shading. You're brilliant!!! I can't wait to show this to my class tonight!!!
I tried your technique with the colored pencils and practically jumped out of my chair...
I no longer "fear going into the dark" with black tiles... Your black tiles ‘shading techniques’ are a huge hit!!! I’ve been teaching classes for a good while now and each time I taught the ‘black tiles’ class, I just couldn’t get excited about it and that bothered me. In fact, some of my students even told me that doing the black tiles was their least favorite.
However, that has changed the other night. After reviewing your book and practicing all afternoon, I was so excited to get to my class and share what you’ve taught.
The class LOVED doing the tiles and they did a fantastic job! I was able to keep my enthusiasm alive because I knew I now had something really cool to teach them!
I am so used to most of my students loving the ‘renaissance tiles’ the best, but after my class the other night, a couple of them said, “Ya know - I think I like doing these black tiles the best.” That is because of what you taught in your book.
In the class, we used the gray markers and they worked great! Plus...we also used some color pencils for the effects with the colors. Those turned out great! Gosh...it's hard to pick a part that was hard because they just breezed thru the process without any difficulty. (thanks to your detailed techniques) Again...thank you from the bottom of my heart! You've made my teaching experience and personal Zentangle experience so much better and it was already pretty darn good!
