Zentangle MatchMaking: Verve, Meer and Fife

Continuing the series that Art Clubbers and I started with the Zentangle MatchMaking classes, exploring Meer, Fife (both Zentangle) and Verve (JJ LaBarbera). I LOVE this one with the movement initiated with Verve. Here’s the before and after shading:

I used a combination of a Square Medallion and Z Strings. Here’s a close-up for you to inspect:

Zentangle MatchMaking is an exclusive series which is only available through my Art Club.

This is the first picture of the year - technically it was started in 2023, derived from the Zentangle MatchMaking series. In this one I used Meer, Fife, Mooka3D and a horizon enhancer that made this look more like some kind of landscape. Love when that happens!

The end of the year is here, and with it, the end of the Zentangle MatchMaking series. Yesterday Art Clubbers and I had the last session of this fantastic series. I did a brief recap on everything we learned and then we applied what we learned using Ancient Egypt (and other things) as inspiration.

Here’s another piece from the Zentangle MatchMaking class that I started with the Art Clubbers. This series includes Meer, Fife and Verve tangles over a combo Z-string and Square Medallion. I LOVE the movement caused by Verve!

Yet another session of Zentangle MatchMaking series. We covered the importance of working in a series and explored a method on how to work from a previous tile, using Meer, Fife, Verve tangles. This series is exclusively available for members of my Art Club.

Another session of Zentangle MatchMaking series. We explored a great deal of pattern structure theory which can help tanglers to create better compositions during classic Zentangle sesssions. Meer, Fife and Verve were the tangles used in our session. This series is exclusively available for members of my Art Club.

On Tuesday I had another session of Zentangle MatchMaking with my small private group, where we explored Nayu (Emiko Kaneko) and Bilt (Lisa Skeen). Super fun tangles!

More tiles exploring the tangle Rumpus. This one has a string that is inspired on a necklace, suggested by a friend. I love the elegance of these (almost) monotangles.

Yesterday Art Clubbers and I had a super important class that I am calling “Zentangle MatchMaking”. This class, which will probably become a series, works on answering the questions about how to combine tangles and string when using classic random Zentangle during your own art practice.

Intuitive String and Gray Pen

The title of the post may sound strange, isn't all Zentangle intuitive? In this experiment I used a much more complex and intuitive string combined with a gray micron pen on two different pictures, with varied degrees of success. I came to an interesting conclusion, though.
