THIS SESSION: Feeling a bit knotty? We'll try our hands at creating tangled knots, step by easy step. Once we have the basics, we'll add various embellishments.
SUPPLIES: 3.5" Square white paper "tiles", pencil, fine permanent marker
Sue Schneider will guide you through this meditative drawing art form. Step-by-step, you will learn the basic process for creating a small, abstract design using repetitive pattern skills. Zentangle is easy, relaxing and stress-free.
FIRST-TIMERS: If you are brand new to Zentangle, I'm happy to send you my Beginner's Guide, that will fill you in on background, basic techniques and some starter patterns. Just email me at sue.schneider.artist@gmail.com with "Beginner's Guide Request" in the subject line.
Our lesson will begin promptly at noon. The lesson will be about 75-90 minutes. Sue will demonstrate patterns and techniques for you to follow along. During the last few minutes we'll share our creations and wrap-up.
There are 2 sessions each month, on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays.
SUPPLIES NEEDED: Please provide a standard pencil, a fine tipped black marker, and paper on which to draw. Optional: Tortillion (blending stub), colored pencils, white and red fine tipped markers/pens.
Pen recommendations: Sakura Pigma Micron 01; Uniball Vision Micro; Sharpie Ultra Fine (look for "no-bleed" on the package, solid black barrel). Paper: We usually work on a 3.5" square paper (called a "tile"). Good quality papers that work well are Strathmore Vellum Bristol, 95# or 140# water color paper, a "Mixed Media" sketchbook, 65# card stock. In a pinch, a 4x6" blank index card will work, just cut it to 3.5" square.
