Blossoms over Tan
Here's a style I haven't played with in a long time. I call it “Party Tangles” because it uses turquoise and orange, colors that remind me of Brazilian Carnaval (Mardi Gras). The Art Raffle app pulled out Purk, Flux (both Zentangle), also Northshire (Jody Genovese, Brrrst (Kelly Barone) and Sandswirl (Karry Heun). I used a Blossoms String (3 blossoms).
Here's the before and after shading and coloring:
That was a LOT of treatment over that poor tan tile! Distressed stain for the background, colored pencil and regular pencil for the shading/coloring. A very time consuming technique, but I love the results. Here are a couple more close-ups for you to inspect:
I REALLY like how this turned out!
Feel free to pin or share these pictures if you like.
This is Jenice Kee's Jeweled Garden, part of Zentangle Beyond Language event. Halfway through, silly me decided to add a hatched ribbon, leaving no room for the other tangles! I like the result anyway, THANK YOU Jenice for a fantastic project.
