Zentangle® on Colored Paper
View a YouTube, Margie Whittington demonstrates how to use gray paper as a mid-tone value for Zentangle® drawings.
Several years ago one of my artist friends, Margie Whittington purchased a Zentangle® Basics book for her grandchildren's Christmas gift. Little did she know she personally would soon become hooked on Zentangle like so many others. Margie finds the detailed tangles to be inspiring and loves to include tangled elements in her art. Now Margie has a collection of books and loves to learn new tangles to use in her art.
Margie's lovely Mardi Gras Ladies.
I have always admired Margie's creativity. Her beautiful art work is displayed at several galleries in Texas. Margie is also part of a group of Texas artists who collaborate on a project called "Canvas by Canvas". Each artist is charged with completing a portion of a finished work on a small canvas. Even though each artist has their own personal style the completed piece is rich and cohesive. Their assembled works have won numerous awards.
Margie also teaches watercolor and acrylic classes at the Upstairs Gallery in Arlington, Texas where she exhibits her charming paintings. She is also a popular teacher at The Woman's Club of Fort Worth.

I was so thrilled when she showed me what she had been doing with Zentangle. As Margie explains in the video, the gray paper (Canson Mi-Teintes) that she uses is a perfect mid-tone value to begin the drawings of her Mardi-Gras Ladies. Drawing black tangles with Sakura Micron Pigma® Pens and adding white highlights with Prismacolor pencils bring the perfect balance to her drawings. Margie shares tips for her Mardi-Gras Ladies in the 'Zentangle 5' book.
Zentangle of the week, enjoy and create!!

Absolutely love this artwork! Video is very well done. The combination of 'Zentangle' patterns, grey paper and white highlights are fabulous!

I was lucky enough to purchase the Zentangles book 5. This was my introduction to Zentangles and what an inspiration. I too am an artist and look forward to including the tangles in my art. See my attempts on my blog.
