Sketchbook Revival 2024: Colorful Tangles

Check out the tangle I made during the first session on Day 6 of Sketchbook Revival 2024. So much fun!


Certified Zentangle Teacher Anica Gabrovec demonstrated the simple, relaxing method of creating a beautiful and colorful design using the Zentangle method


We started by dripping water-based ink onto hot press watercolor paper (affiliate links here and below), overing it with plastic (I used a sandwich bag), and smooshing the ink to create a colorful design. 


When it was dry, we added a tangle on top. I used a Micron pen


The last step was adding shading and highlighting with black and white colored pencils


I enjoyed the process so much that I made another. It's amazing how different same pattern looks on a different inky background. 


Up to this point, I wasn't familiar with any of the Sketchbook Revival instructors. That changed with Charlie O'Shields. His Sketching Stuff books are fantastic. His workshop was great also and I learned a lot, even though I wasn't able to craft along. 


The next two sessions were also very informative. So far, I've been impressed with the wide variety of workshops offered during Sketchbook Revival 2024. 



The next project I made during Sketchbook Revival is way outside of my normal style, which is what makes workshops like this so much fun. I'll tell you about it on Friday; tomorrow I'll be sharing my latest edible craft.
