Work in Progress

 

This is the first part of the Zentangle Shell Symphony Workshop  taught by Stefanie van Leeuwen, CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher) from the Netherlands.

This was a live online class, but I didn't have all the necessary materials though I played along as much as I could. Students have access to videos of the class forever.

Because the piece is done on a round, 4 5/8 in. paper tile, it's called a Zendala. (a portmanteau of Zen, Zentangle and mandala)

I used Strathmore Tone Tan paper cut into a slightly smaller circle as the cutting machine wouldn't go to 3 decimal places.

So far, I have completed the first 3 lessons.

1. Transfer Stefanie's design to the paper. She used the pencil transfer method. I used Saral paper. 

2. Using a brown Sakura Pigma Pen, outline the shell and using a black Sakura Pigma Pen outline the pearl

3. Using a combination of the black and brown pens, fill in the shell with Zentangle patterns Stephanie chose.

Next up: Adding color.
