One Zentangle a Day: A 6-Week Course in Creative Drawing for Relaxation, Inspiration, and Fun

nTake 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. n n 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. n n Each of the six chapters explores a different aspect of Zentangle: n- Basics and Enhancements n- Tangles and Value Patterns n- Geometric and Organic Patterns n- Understanding and Using Color n- Defining and Using Style n- 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. n n 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. n n Step away from the daily hustle and untangle with a Zentangle.
