Today Art Clubbers worked on Part 2 of a class called Skyline on Phi. This is based on the design of my friend Debora Augusto who kindly granted me permission to teach it. We completed most of the line-art on Part 1 and shading in Part 2. The blog also shows the video of my latest pop-up card I made based on the same concept.

Phossil and Crazy Zander

Last Thursday Art Clubbers and I completed Part 2 of the Crazy Zander Infographics class, so of course I had to mix it up with Phossil. I included Opus, Vega, Zander (all Zentangle) and more.

Phossil, Vega and Opus

I’m not tired of Phossil yet, I suspect there are a few more of these coming out of my pen. Here is Fossil, Vega, Zander and Opus (Zentangle).

When too much detail is just too much

I decided to do this as an experiment: a complex string with overlapping arches combined with tons of different tangles and decorative borders. Whew!!! Sometimes I think there is such a thing as too much detail, it drove me a little insane to make this one.

Aquafleur Landscape on Phi

I got a whole new batch of white Phi tiles. This daily meditation looks like a crazy landscape, with Aquafleur, Zander, Printemps, Shattuck and more.

Another Shaded Tile

Still enjoying shading, shading. Another blended tangles shaded tile - love how the piece looks like terrain that moves and ripples.

Shading Blended Tangles

This morning I taught an Art Club live class on how to shade blended tangles. Clubbers brought the line-art they had completed in a previous class and we spent the whole class shading!

Blending Tangles Class

Yesterday I taught an Art Club live class on blending tangles. A super fun technique for people who love curvy lines, where one tangle melts into the next one.

Arukas and Swerve

Daily meditation with Arukas, Zander and more. I used an underpainting of Sketch and Wash pencil and worked in microtangling. Super enjoyable!

Blending Zander and Swerve

Daily meditation with the Art Raffle, playing with blends between tangles. Oh how relaxing to play in black and white. Zander, Swerve (Jody Genovese.), Ayame (Emiko Kaneko), Arukas and more.
