Zentangle is a meditative art form developed 20 years ago by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. It starts with an 8-step process that includes appreciation, creation and then more appreciation.
In this class, we will cover the basic Zentangle approach using pen, pencil and paper, then add watercolour pencil techniques to embellish botanical themed tangles.
A few basic tangles (art patterns) will be used to make a piece that you will take home.
Anyone can do this and anyone can enjoy the process!
All materials provided for this class.
