Take your doodles to a whole new level with this best-selling and preeminent guidebook to the meditative art of the “Zentangle”, featuring the incredibly beautiful and inspiring artwork of author Beckah Krahula. This step-by-step book is divided into six chapters, each with seven daily exercises.
The “Zentangle” method was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas as a way to practice focus and meditation through drawing by using repetitive lines, marks, circles, and shapes. Each mark is called a "tangle," and you combine various tangles into patterns to create "tiles," or small square drawings.
Each of the six chapters explores a different aspect of “Zentangle”: • Basics and Enhancements • Tangles and Value Patterns • Geometric and Organic Patterns • Understanding and Using Color • Defining and Using Style • Creating the Rest of Your “Zentangle” Journey Each exercise includes new tangles to draw in sketchbooks or on Tiepolo (an Italian-made paper), teaches daily tile design, offers tips on related art principles, and contains an inspirational "ZIA" (Zentangle Inspired Art) project on a tile that incorporates patterns, art principals, and new techniques.
“Drawing Zentangles” is a relaxing and replenishing diversion that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. In addition to its soothing benefits, a “Zentangle” practice can also help with self-image, phobias, addictions, pain management, conflict resolution, and coping with grief.
