Stained Glass Heart Nouveau Video Class
€35
Purchase  

This video class is for all you "tanglers" who were not able to take the workshop I held for the Certified Zentangle Teachers in January during our "CZT Zoom Treff" session. In this video I draw on a polygon, as was my original design that I worked up for Inktober Tangles 2024. The accompanying handout shows you how to draw the same on a Zendala. Enjoy this beautiful tangle, Heart Nouveau, by CZT Romi Marks. My variation made it a bit more botanical and is perfect for my idea as a stained glass window. This class is more about a  coloring technique - shading color with color - that I hope you find useful on your Zentangle journey. PLEASE DO NOT REPRODUCE THIS PROJECT FOR SALE OR SHOW IN JURIED EXHIBITS AS YOUR ORIGINAL ARTWORK.

 

Feel free to gift as often as you like. Thanks!

This is the second in a series of Zentangle-inspired art I’ve designed, starting with “Honey Bee Mine.” “Under the Sea” features a tiny seahorse, drawn from a specimen that I found on an Italian beach. It is waiting for you to tangle and paint an inviting seahorse home. You will transfer your “string” or contour drawing using a provided template onto a 7.5x7.5 -inch 140-lb. hot press watercolor paper or comparable multi-media paper before our first class.

On the first of this two-part video, we will “tangle” the image, one step at a time, (add the patterns) and shade our inked drawing with graphite pencil. Video number two was taped during the originally offered on-line class with an add on of me finishing the demo piece step by step. This second video shows how to use watercolor pencils to glaze over the “underpainting,” layering until we reach the rich saturation pictured here. Finally, we will “add some love” by cleaning up lines and adding some glitz with copper and pearlescent paints.

Admirable Acorns - Video Class  
35
Purchase

“Mighty oaks from tiny acorns grow.” From these acorn drawings, your mighty artistic skills will emerge. . .

 

Growing up across the street from a neighborhood park, I have always been drawn to the acorns and the mighty oaks that lie within their perfect seed pods. I loved raking oak leaf piles and sculpting them into my imagined “playhouse” footprint and gathering acorns to make all sorts of crafty things.

 

There is so much symbolism packed into the oak and its acorn; strength, potential, and endurance to name a few. One of my favorite simple but expressive Botangles© is this set of acorns that sport mostly traditional Zentangle® patterns. Join me to draw, shade, and color these beauties that will serve as a springboard for you to create your own acorn Botangle©. The possibilities are limitless!

Fine Feathers Zentangle®  - Video Class
€65
Purchase

IMG_8131.jpeg

This feather project will strengthen both your drawing and coloring abilities. Guided by instructor, Annie Reiser, Certified Zentangle® Teacher and Certified Botanical Illustrator, you will draw the feather one step at a time; the pattern is based on the Zentangle®  Verdigoh. Then you’ll shade, color layer, and finish your piece with subtle highlights and embellishments. There is a “recipe” to drawing most anything, and the feather recipe taught in this class will set you on your way to creating many more feathers of different styles, shapes, and colors. The class includes a handout that is linked in the pdf file as is the video. Originally, this was a two-part class that I have condensed into a 1-hour and 36-minute video.

PLEASE DO NOT REPRODUCE THIS PROJECT FOR SALE OR SHOW IN JURIED EXHIBITS AS YOUR ORIGINAL ARTWORK. Feel free to gift as often as you like. Thanks! Note: The penwork for this was inspired by CZT Terri Oliver Young's variation of the tangle Verdigoh from Zentangle.
