Ogee Grid Class

Last Sunday Art Clubbers and I had a FABULOUS class developing this Ogee grid pattern. What an intense class! We used watercolors, gold pens, colored pencils, inking pens, neon pens, so much media….

We started with an Ogee Grid frame and filled each Ogee Onion with different patterns.

The tangles used here were: Moon Pie (Zentangle), Fluxecho (Lynn Mead), 1 2 3 O’Leary (Antonine Koval).

After tangling, came the embellishment. Gold, neon, stripes, pearls, you name it!

Look at some of the fantastic art made by the Clubbers!

Feel free to pin or share these pictures if you like.

Renaissance Arch and Found Flowers

This arch is adapted from a Renaissance arch from the book “Suggestions of Design” by John Leighton and James Colling (1880) found on archive dot org. I also added some Found Flowers on a frame around the arch. Shaded and colored with Inktense and Pitt Artist Brush pens. If you goto my blog you'll see I wasn’t able to stay faithful to the original - I love the way my hand just takes over and adds whatever details it feels like.

Last Wednesday I attended a CZT After Hours conducted by Heidi Froelich where she explored Ratoon (Zentangle). Of course I had to create another brown/sepia Journal Tile. I also included tangles Florz, Braze, Garlic Cloves (Jacquelien Bredenord) and Chrissie, a rather new tangle by Martina Ramhapp.

Another Tangled Journal Tile. This includes an encapsulated MI2 (part of my class Small Treasures), also Oybay (Antonine Koval), and also Coiled Berry and Skorpio (both Eni Oken). MI2 is a tangle originally by Mimi Lempart. I’m enjoying so much collecting these “artifacts”, small piece of wonderful patterns, motifs and combos.

I’m on a roll making these Tangled Journal Tiles. This one celebrates IDOZ, the new tangle released by Zentangle founders during the first International Day of Zentangle, released during an online live event to an audience of 2k tanglers! Such fun. You can also see there a Morph between Moon Pie and Jaysix. Every thing shaded with brown and sepia.
