Looped Wigwag in Rainbow Shading

I got a whole new stack of Zentangle tiles and played with the Art Raffle to pull out a few tangles. I pulled out a looped string and tangles Wigwag (Jody Genovese), Shattuck and Jetties (last two by Zentangle).

Here's a mini-step-out of the process, had such a lovely time with the line-art, looping Wigwag all around!

I LOVE the Zentangle tiles for black and white work, but they are not ideal for coloring with colored pencils, the results are a little too grainy. Still, I love the results, as you can see in this close-up:

This picture was made largely adapted from a fragment of Gothic architecture I found in Richard Glazier’s Manual of Historic Ornament (archive dot org). I combined three primary colors with black ink, and shaded and colored using inktense pencils.

During my last cruise we stopped briefly in Casablanca, Morocco. I took tons of pictures of historic buildings and this one detail caught my eye, I adapted it as string for this piece. Tangled and shaded with Inktense pencils and Pitt Artist brush pens.

Back in 1998 I went to Bali and it was an enchanting place for someone who enjoys ornament and patterns. I extracted the outline of a photo I took back then and used it as a string for this piece. Turned out a little whimsical, almost Seussian. You can see a couple of critters happily playing here and there.

This is a picture that I created while aboard my last cruise crossing the Atlantic. Before crossing westbound we visited Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Tenerife Islands, and I captured some of the details of the beautiful Parish of St. Francisco de Asís. I have to confess that this picture feels a bit “too pink” for my taste!
