Fancy Caps Class

Yesterday I taught a much awaited class to my Art Club students. It was a long class, packed with information.

I talked about how the Fancy Caps appeared - this into a tangle patter, but more of an enhancer. We explored the anatomy of the gems and how to add them in different positions.

I showed different ways to apply the fancy caps on to tangles that we already know:

We then worked on this lovely Zentangle-Inspired project (ZIA) with two fancy caps:

We also used Enyshou (Zentangle) and Damsel Leaf (Annette Ruempler) in the piece:

We learned how to shade the whole thing:

Here's a variation with blue gems shaded using a Bic (Biro) pen:

Here's a better close-up of the final picture:
