Jewel Tones lesson coming up
The last project pack released by Zentangle® headquarters (PP08) included some gorgeous pictures done with gel pens. I was enchanted by Maria's beautiful color palette of Day 5 and used that as inspiration. My first tests with those patterns using gel pens over black paper were less than satisfactory for me, I was a little frustrated with the lack of brilliance of the final pieces. Here are my experiments:
I still couldn't get over the beautiful jewel-toned palette, so I decided to try something different. I painted the background with watercolors, then tangled and colored in. I LOVE the results! Here is the before and after:

I had an excellent time and tons of Zen flow during Romi Mark's Swimming Gems online class.
This past week I ran a class with Art Clubbers on how to create super fun Circus inspired pieces.
This entire past week I explore Calligraphyz and Circus banners, until I felt I had enough color in my life.
What a fantastic lesson! Really had fun with the clubbers creating these jewel-toned tangles using watercolors and colored pencils.
Last week Art Clubbers and I continued to explore Rainbow Shading on our first complete project.
