Organicize Zentangle Part 1
Today Art Clubbers and I had the first part of the series “Organicize Zentangle”. Organicize is a made up word I came up with to describe various Art Enhancers that can help tangles look like they are organic or being influenced by the forces of nature.
We started easy and used this configuration: an S-Shape String, tangles Flux, Mooka, and Verdigogh, and also tangle Eofer (Iris Heidt).
After a brief explanation of the several enhancers we were going to use, we jumped right into drawing:

The beautifully poetic class Duotone Tangling is now available in video format for individual purchase. This video class includes how to use a “landscape string” and how to create contrast using two inking pens of different colors. It also shows how to use grafting and how to organicize tangles to make them resemble plants.
