  • This was a live Zoom class with two students, so feel free to fast forward as needed. The idea for the whimsical trees came from a post that I found in Pinterest. I drew the trees, filled them with Zentangle patterns, and then colored them.
    Supplies you’ll need:
    3.5” or 4” white tile
    Micron pen 01 black
    Gold GellyRoll pen
    Watercolor pencils and/or fine tip markers
    Graphite pencil
    Tortillion or blending tool
    The patterns used in first tile are:
    Muchnin, Printemps, Flux, Betweed, and Ahh, Striping, Knase, Shattuck, and Knightbridge (All from Zentangle HQ)
    Patterns used in the second tile are:
    Nipa and Purk (from Zentangle) and Cake by Janis Wang, CZT.
    I was also inspired by a post from Sue Jacobs: suejacobs.blogs...
    This post from Adele Bruno’s “It’s A String Thing” blog also has some great ideas:”: tickledtotangl...

    Love these little trees. When I saw this last year, I wasn’t yet into Zentangle. Since then, I’ve become a CZT! (37) Thanks for being one of my inspirations to learn this marvelous art form!

    Hello Barbara. Love these trees. When you finished did you spray with a fixative so that the graphite wouldn't rub off? Thank you!!

    • @notperfectzen
      @notperfectzen  Рік тому +1

      Hi Teri! Sometimes I use a fixative on my tiles if they will be handled (like on a Christmas tree) but I don't think I sealed the one from the video. I use Krylox fixative and it seems to work well. Have fun! :-)

    I was born without any type of artistic talent…NONE! I’m trying to get the courage to start making these lovely pieces of art…so far I’m just watching…we’ll see if I stop doubting myself and go for it! Awww those tres are so adorable! Merry Christmas…it’s warm here in northern Ohio!🎄🎄🎄

    • @notperfectzen
      @notperfectzen  2 роки тому +2

      You can do it! The nice thing about the Zentangle method is that you have all the steps to follow to help you learn. No artistic ability required! I loved it from the beginning because it helped me relax. My first tile was not great, but with practice I've gotten better. I started with the book "One Zentangle A Day", which helped a lot. Don't give up! It's warm here in Houston too - I love it that way.

I LOVE everything about your channel and wonder why someone wouldn't!!! I don't think you can improve anything on your channel, it's perfect....no pun intended...LOL. I hope you get this since it was 3 years ago but I am working my way thru your work, slowly but surely!!! Anyways, Hugs from Canada!!!

    I love how you “enjoy” your own zentangle practice! I like it that you laugh when you make a “mistake” and you make everything so clear and easy and so often you include the step outs when you are including a “new to me” pattern. I watch every video of yours that I can find.

    • @notperfectzen
      @notperfectzen  Рік тому +1

      Thank you so muh, Fran! I really appreciate your kind words. I do love to share, and I make mistakes, but the joy comes in just drawing and having fun. I'm so happy to know that you like the videos and you're watching all of them. I should have another coming soon!! :-)
