My
First Colored Zentangle
Since I mentioned my interest in coloring my
Zentangles yesterday, I'll share the only one I've colored so far.
This is
actually a ZIA (Zentangle-inspired art), as true Zentangles don't use color and
I put in some lines that aren't part of any official tangles. I'm sharing the
black-and-white version and the colored one.
The coloring was done with
pencils. I had already shaded the original tile, so that affected the color
somewhat. Also, if I had done this originally in color, I would've used blocks
of color instead of those of black.
I really enjoy doing the color and hope to
get better at it and try different methods!
Beautiful artwork. I love the colors.

Thank you, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pastime! I've seen Mandala adult color books that have intrigued me as well. Thanks, by the way, for the encouraging comment(s) that you leave on my blog. They are very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot of fun and very creative, Diane! I think adult coloring books are a great idea. Thanks for visiting, and I'll be dropping by your blog again.
DeleteI always resolve to get into tangling and never have the courage to start.
ReplyDeleteYour zentange is very pretty and the colors really make it look fab!
Thank you, Corinne, and I definitely encourage you to try this. I have absolutely no artistic talent and have felt frustrated by it, but this gives me a chance and a method to actually draw something and enjoy it!
