Description
Explore this meditative drawing method with Michelle Aalbers, CZT. This class is designed for beginners and for kids of all ages. It fulfills the prerequisite for the other Zentangle Workshops with Jai Dee.
The Zentangle Method, developed by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create amazing drawings by assembling simple elements into complex structures of great beauty. Come be inspired learning with a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT) who is excited to help you create beautiful drawings you never thought possible.
Gather your art supplies:
Paper – Ideally blank watercolor paper but really anything will work as long as you have pens, pencils, crayons or something that will show up on the paper you are using.
Graphite or colored pencils – if you’d like to do shading make sure you have pencils and a cotton swab handy.
For this class we will use one 3.5" official Zentangle white tile, a Pigma Micron 01 black pen, a General’s graphite pencil, and a tortillion.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone looking to calm the mind and tap into creativity.
- Students new to the Zentangle Method
