Mindful Monday #1: Easy, Beginner tiles created using the Zentangle® Method of drawing.

Mindful Monday #1: Easy, Beginner tiles created using the Zentangle® Method of drawing. What’s that? You may ask. Well… Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts, the founders of Zentangle, define it as “…an easy to learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.” Why practice the Zentangle Method? Life today can be overwhelming! Sometimes you just need to slow down, unplug, and relax. This is where The Zentangle Method comes in. Although this video is not an introduction class, this Mindful Monday practice tile video is created with easy, beginner tangles and I talk you through the journey of the 8 steps of the Zentangle Method. So, it’s a great way to give it a try. You Can Do This! If you can draw a dot, a line, an S, a C, and a circle (icso) you have all the skills you need to practice the Zentangle Method. It is that simple! Zentangle was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas and is enjoyed all over the world across a wide range of skills, interests and ages. The focus is on the process, not the outcome. The Zentangle Method is a practice (think Yoga or meditation), and it is a tool to increase mindfulness, improve focus and creativity, relieve stress, inspire problem solving and new ideas, and so much more. I've found with my practice and my teaching that developing a practice of drawing with the Zentangle Method can bring one whatever one wants or needs. Are you looking for mindfulness? Stress relief? More patience? More creativity? The list is endless. A Journey Zentangle is a practice that is truly about the journey more than the destination. Your journey is one of focus and creativity. Your destination is both an increased sense of well-being and a beautiful image created from structured patterns. The Zentangle Method can also be: • A path to discovering or rediscovering artistic talents (we all have them). • A deliberative practice – time to just “be” - with yourself and your Zentangle practice. • A secret weapon to calm yourself quickly when needed • A technique to enhance your other works (jewelry, pottery, painting, drawing). What do you need to draw along with me? • 1 Original white 3-1/2" square Zentangle tiles (or paper cut to 3-1/2 " square, or a larger piece of paper or a journal with a 3.5" square drawn on it.) • 1 Sakura Micron 01 Black pen (or any black pen - permanent ink - vice water-soluble ink is preferred.) • 1 Zentangle pencil (truly any pencil will do!) • 1 tortillion (or blending stump, a cotton swab, or even your finger!) I'm an advocate of using what you have! No special materials are required for this class other than paper, a pen, a pencil, and a tortillion. You can even get by without a tortillion for blending the graphite!) For paper you can use what you have, just keep the size small (3.5" to 4" square) OR just draw a square about that size on a larger piece of paper. Any pen will do, although I prefer to begin with black, and any pencil will do. Do you want to learn more about the Zentangle method of drawing?
