For those who are not good at drawing

Ever heard me say this before....Zentangle?

I love doodling but I am not an artist in anyway shape or form...but I want to be!

I collect stuff on Pinterest and one folder contains Zentangle/Watercolors. I have been doodling for few years and I just love it. Last time when I was at Michael's I picked up these watercolors and some watercolor paper. I used my Micron Pens ( I got a set on Amazon) They are fabulous and don't bleed. I usually just sit down and play....flowers or pattern like these

I made a Birthday card for a little man I know

and today I sat down to kill some time and drew this pumpkin

It's easier than you think. When you add watercolors to the whole thing it looks more professional....

I encourage you to google Zentangle or go to Pinterest....So many fun ideas.

Happy Tuesday

Anything is possible one stroke at a time...

If you haven't tried it then I urge to. It's so relaxing and fun. What is is zentangle?

Even Rosie O'Donnell  is doodling, here is what she posted on Instagram last week

If you are brand new to this then all you need is paper and pen. Preferably black fine point pen. The rest is up to you. I keep a little sketch book in my purse and a pen. I have created few nice art pieces and some I have framed like this one

Happy Doodling

Zentangle

Zentangle is an easy to learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.  

Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well being. The Zentangle method is enjoyed all over this world across a wide range of skills, interests and ages.

I got interested in Zentangle about a year ago. I was at an Art store where they had this new art form on display. I went home and cut up some paper into 3x3 squares. At the Art store I bought good Micron Pens. Sold in art and craft stores and Amazon.

Since then I have been doodling. There are several websites with pictures and ideas around. I used You tube to learn myself. There isn't any formula to it...you are encouraged to look around you to detect patterns in your surroundings and start doodling. I found this video really helpful

Here is the link to the official web page where the founder posts and you can search for ideas:
