Zentangle Basics in Portuguese

Yesterday I had a ton of fun and did something I never do anymore: gave a Zentangle class online in Portuguese. Twelve of my Brazilian close friends and family joined me on Zoom to learn about the Zentangle method, including 3 of my nieces.

What fun! 3 hours flew by so quickly. Here is the mosaic of the pieces they produced. The mosaic is a Zentangle tradition: you join all the pieces created by a group, without any identification other than their initials in the front, and admire how DIFFERENT and yet the SAME the pieces look, even though they followed the exact same instructions. Similar but different. I'm always amazed at it!

This class was held live in Portuguese. However, if you want to learn more about the Zentangle method, you can find a lesson at my video shop:

Now that the Zentangle MatchMaking series is over in the Art Club, we started a new series, focusing on Tangle Combos. This is the second session of the series, and since it's the beginning of the year, nothing more appropriate than using the classic 4 tangles used for a Back to Basics: Crescent Moon, Holibaugh, Printemps and Bales.

Last Thursday Art Clubbers and I had the last phase of my Advanced Tangle Transitions class. Super fun strategy on how to work the boundaries of a string, using bridge and transitional elements.

The last phase of my Advanced Tangle Transitions class with the Art Clubbers, and I find this stage a little tricky. To ease it off a little, I selected a Zentangle 101 tile, and that's probably what we'll do in class.
