The last phase of my Advanced Tangle Transitions class with the Art Clubbers, and I find this stage a little tricky. To ease it off a little, I selected a Zentangle 101 tile, and that's probably what we'll do in class.

ZBL: Jenice Kee's Jeweled Garden

This is Jenice Kee's Jeweled Garden, part of Zentangle Beyond Language event. Halfway through, silly me decided to add a hatched ribbon, leaving no room for the other tangles! I like the result anyway, THANK YOU Jenice for a fantastic project.

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!

Castles in the Sky

Daily meditation playing with Melum (Maria Jose Torrado) just gave me the inspiration to create some castles in the sky. Can't say I was successful with the tangle, but it was fun! Black and gray fineliner and watercolor pencils.

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.
