colors should be carefully balanced - let one
color dominate and use the two others for
accent.
22. ZENTANGLE COLORS
What is a Zentangle?
o
o
o
Miniature pieces of unplanned,
abstract art created in a very
structured method from a series of
repetitive patterns on a square paper
tile.
The process is a form of “artistic
meditation” as one becomes
completely engrossed in making
each pattern, deliberately focusing
on “one stroke at a time”.
The creativity options and pattern
combinations are boundless.
And anyone can do it successfully!
23. ZENTANGLE HOW TO
Create a 3” x3”
Square Border
o Using a pencil, draw
a border around the
square of paper,
about a ¼” from the
edge as shown.
o Do it freehand and let
it be 'rough'.
24. ZENTANGLE HOW TO
Draw a ‘String’
o Draw a light random
line
within the border
o Can be anything but
keep
it simple.
o Aim to create areas in
which
to doodle.
o Experiment until you get something you are
happy with.
25. ZENTANGLE HOW TO
Fill Your Zentangle
o Switch to ultra fine
black Sharpie
o Begin to fill the shapes
made by your string.
o While doing this you
should listen to some
soft music and allow your mind to wander.
o These simple patterns you are creating are
called 'tangles'.
26. ZENTANGLE HOW TO
Are you relaxed?
o Keep going. Don't worry
about patterns, as you
do more, the next pattern
seems
to suggest itself.
o You can work up to the
border, however, you
don't have to – leaving white space can work
well too.
