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:

Another picture with tangle Amplion (Nina Dreher-Goddertz). I also included a historic fragment taken from Herbert Cole’s Heraldry and Floral forms (1922, found on archive dot org). It's a beautiful design of a 15th century French coffer. Tangled and shaded using Inktense pencils and Pitt Brush pens with a waterbrush.

My second picture inspired by Inktober Tangles 2024 including Heart Nouveau (Romi Marks), Feist (Stephanie Jennifer) and half of an S Bahn (Midori Furuhashi). I’m REALLY in love with this picture, still using Inktense pencils and Pitt Brush pens with a waterbrush. When I participate in Inktober, I tend to do it a little erratically, picking the tangles I like instead of going in order.

The name of this picture should be “do as I say, don’t do as I do”. I often tell my students “don’t outline your work otherwise it looks cartoony”. And my hand did just that! Here I have two tangles from Inktober Tangles 2024: Amplion by Nina Dreher-Goeddertz and Heart Nouveau by Romi Marks. Drawn using Inktense paint pads and Pitt brush pens with a waterbrush.

This picture is an adaptation of a design found in a book by Augusto Garneri (1921) at archive dot org and is described as taken from a Celtic Anglo Saxon manuscript miniature. Looking at other ornament books I found similar designs, so it was probably popular motif in Celtic manuscript illumination. I mixed some techniques there and it took me forever to complete! Tangled with inktense pencils, brown micron and Pitt brush artist pens.
