ZENTANGLES “ZEN” means calm and “TANGLE” means a collection of overlapping patterns. ZENTANGLE is the bringing together of the calm and the pattern. It was originally based on using a square of paper and a black fine marker and various patterns that turn into a creative piece of art. Step 1: Draw any shape you like Step 2: Draw a free flowing line that starts in one spot in your shape and then loops and tangles its way around the shape, creating lots of overlapping sections. Step 3: Pick a section, and start drawing a pattern. Pattern ideas: - Waves - Zigzags - Circles - Leaves - Criss cross lines Try black and white, or go for different colours. Try different shapes Don’t forget to send us a photo of your favourite zentangle [email protected]
