Explore tangling on grey, tan, and color tiles, compare tone paper shading and highlighting, and learn to layer tangles with white charcoal and white jelly roll highlights.
Arrange for the supplies to get started with the course. However, if not possible, work with what is best available. Do not limit yourself due to lack of tools.

Explore Zen bossing, a Zentangle-inspired technique using light and shadow to create engraved, embossed relief on grey tiles with tangles like Poke leaf and Printemps.
Zentangle® is a meditative and therapeutic art form which revolves around certain structured patterns to create beautiful artwork. These patterns called as “Tangles” in Zentangle® terminology are very easy to learn by anybody with or without prior artistic background. They are made up of very elemental strokes which anyone can grasp very easily. The tangles have been designed in a fashion that they require your utmost attention, focus and awareness almost like meditating. Also, the Zentangle® method acts as an excellent therapy for kids and adults alike due to its ability to instill mindfulness.
So, till now we tangled on white tiles with black ink to create beautiful Zentangle® artwork. Tanglers are free to stick to black and white format with shades of grey even at advanced levels. However, having said that Zentangle® HQ provides a wide variety of stationary such as the grey, black and tan (Renaissance) tiles in different shapes and sizes. This course is about moving from tangling in black and white to more neutral /toned surfaces and the best way to do that is to start with Grey and Tan tiles. Grey and Tan tiles provide excellent shading and highlighting opportunities with wider usage of both graphite and white charcoal pencils. It also opens up the gates to explore and experiment many techniques such as layering tiles, giving the embossed effect and also using colored pens and pencils beautifully. It also allows more extensive use of the White GellyRoll pens and a whole lot of other stationary.
The objective of this course is to provide that gradual transition from white tile tangling to greys and tan and subsequently black surfaces. This will not only enrich your tool kit but also take your Zentangle® practice to the next level.
