About this course

Zentangle is a structured, abstract drawing method created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas in which deliberate, repetitive patterns are drawn on 3.5-inch tiles with no eraser and no fixed outcome. This course teaches the materials, the 8-step method, a library of foundational tangles such as Crescent Moon, Hollibaugh, Printemps and Florz, and the shading and composition skills that turn flat patterns into dimensional art. You leave with a repeatable daily ritual, a personal tangle reference, and finished Zendala and Apprentice tiles.
