This is from 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.
This part of the lesson involved Prismacolor pencils to color the pearl and inside bottom of the shell.
Next up: Coloring the sea and sky

ReplyDeleteGood idea!
DeleteThat is a pretty blue! I love how you shaded the pearl! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteThe shades of blue were what attracted me to the project. Stephanie laid out all the instructions from the drawing to the coloring.
DeleteThat is intricate work. You have a lot of patience, a good eye, and a steady hand.
ReplyDeleteIt's very meditative
DeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteI'm glad you think it's meditative. My hand cramps when I try any type of zentangle. So far, this is stunning, intricate work.
ReplyDeleteTo get rid of the death grip, try holding something in your non-dominant hand. An eraser, pen cap, crumpled clean tissue. Your brain will equal out the pressure in your hands.
DeleteWell, I enlarged your picture and said WOW!
ReplyDeleteI do like this.
All the best Jan
