Right on Maria, I love your work! I only discovered Zentangle about a year ago, and I love it, although That's how I've drawn forever 61 years now, just am learning to market my stuff. After July 2021, I am cured of terminal cancer. Social media is not easy. You inspire Me
I was fortunate enough to go through Rick and Maria’s CZT program. I found Rick and Maria to perfectly complement each other. I never viewed either of them interrupting each other, for me it was more like a couple so in sync with each other that they finish each other’s sentences. Their entire family is amazing. One of the best experiences of my life,
As a fairly new newbie to Zentangle I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video to get to know you better. I had to smile as your two poles sparked against each other: Maria's unstoppable energy and Rick's calming influence. Thank you both!
I've been watching this lovely couple's videos before. I have even bought some Zentangle kits and tried to draw some. I realized that I just have poor fine motor skills. However, this video has made me motivated again to try Zentangling again. I hope finally I will be able to produce something that at least can make me happier. Thanks, Maria and Rick.
I am a beginner and I have just watched some of the Apprentice classes that are for children. You might want to start with some of those to gain the fine motor skills. Remember perfection is not the goal, but having fun and relaxing while doing these.
This video should be shown to art students, from elementary to college levels. What they say is very basic, but, from my repeated experience, what thety tell us is never stated, clearly, plainly, understandably by other art teachers. My high school and college art instructors were, to be bluntly honest, were snobs, all too happy to feel superior and only interested in the few "prodigies" that occasionally came along. So, we need more real encouragement like the type Rick and Maria offer in this video.
I love Zentangles and would love to hear Maria tell her stories. You see her excitement and passion but Rick constantly interrupted her. Please Rick, let her talk. She is the artist, let her share her talent.
I have been looking for Maria Thomas for years! I was lucky enough to receive a copy of a print that she drew. It has been on my wall since 2020. I woul dlove to know where I can purchase any more prints of this extremely talented woman!

Love hearing you’re presentation and all the amazing details you help all of us “notice” or become aware of... just floating around everywhere! Excellent surprise at the end! I loved the “he’s the Zen to my Tangle”!! Clever!!
I always thought your inspiration was Escher. My friend used to draw these amazing things all in a mix of patterns inspired by Escher. That was in 1980s
Such an excellent presentation. I’m a zentangler, not a teacher. I love the introduction to this museum. And i love hearing more of Rick and Maria’s story and their approach to the world.
I'm a recently-obsessed "Tangler". For several years, I have made polymer clay jewelry, and taken a lot of inspiration from undersea/reef creatures. After a time away, I took a look at them this morning and saw so many Zentangles! Wonder if your imaginations have ever taken you there.
So true, since I went back to zentangle after nit having done it in some years, having done so as a child into my teenage years then not doing so as I became a young adult and life began happening I'd completely forgotten about it, I've now found myself taking one dose per day of my pain medication as opposed to 4 x a day and hope to someday not need it at all.✌🏽💙
Maria has such unbridled passion! It's a pity she is constantly interrupted by Rick. Zentangling is the best fun anyone can have with a pencil and paper.
When i was in 2nd class i found the book of Escher in the library i was so fasyneted about it that i began to draw a bit like him.Years later,the library sold old books and could buy the Escher-book for 10 euro's!!!I live in Belgium;East Flanders.I'm so happy that i discoverd Zentangle now.TYTY
I noticed comments complaining about interruptions, but please ... the interruptions went both ways: that's what happens when two passionate people who respect each other are doing a joint presentation! And almost always, the interjections added something rather than detracted.
I really like zentangles, and I would love to hear a presentation with just her. Since she's the artist, I would love to hear more from her. He seems to interrupt her speaking a lot, which I found annoying.
Apparently his name is first on their book. I get it… she’s the artist and he’s the business manager type. But he really needs to stop interrupting her. Serious trigger for all of us women that have had men talking over us and taking credit for our work. I do love how she breaks down the artwork into something that anyone can do.
I loved watching your presentation, and videos on doing zantangle. The the that you guys talk about and do, reminds me of doing as a kid all up through now, I always doodle draw lines, take lines to make,but then I dont at times, cuase, I got lost.., I also love spiral graph, and colors books. I use a drawing book pencils(drawing) or(color pencils) some pens or gel pens. I really would to learn more, some patterns I dont if they should be to, ect. I have done stuff before I seen, your,work. I was like omg, I just did that whatever it happens to be. Iam in Wisconsin. Where are you guys from?
It's not so much the drawing, it's the process behind it. It's how to look at things in a certain way in order to represent them. Just like, say, cubism. It's a manner of representing reality - at some point the manner is given a name. This couple gave a name to a process that includes both drawing and entering a meditative state.
Why Rick do you keep interrupting Maria, she's the artist, she's telling about her passion and then you keep wanting to take the lead. It's so very annoying!
No puedo creer la propaganda que le hacen a este par que NO HA INVENTADO NADA. Se trata solo de garabatos que TODOS hemos hecho a lo largo de nuestra vida, ya sea como consecuencia del aburrimiento en horas de clase en la escuela o mientras hablamos por teléfono y garabateamos en cualquier papel sin pensar.

but you paid for it and you didn't need to you've been scammed get your money back

rick should get back to that monastery and apologise to the monks for misuse of their method

@@kathyhoward176 Thanks a lot for your advice. I will try to be brave and just do it.

Agree. It is disrespectful to say the least

I just ordered all three of their books. Loved this lecture.
This is so inspiring and your enthusiasm and excitement totally infectious!

Good presentation, I find the videos on TH-cam to be helpful, books are good, but watching you draw is very helpful in drawing each tangle.
Such an excellent presentation. I’m a zentangler, not a teacher. I love the introduction to this museum. And i love hearing more of Rick and Maria’s story and their approach to the world.
Olá, Maria eu moro no Brasil e gostaria muito de ser uma multiplicadora certificado mas não tem como eu ir aí na sua cidade fazer a certificacao

I do zentangle all the time post stroke but I have always done some kind of art I dont need to pay to feel good enough
So true, since I went back to zentangle after nit having done it in some years, having done so as a child into my teenage years then not doing so as I became a young adult and life began happening I'd completely forgotten about it, I've now found myself taking one dose per day of my pain medication as opposed to 4 x a day and hope to someday not need it at all.✌🏽💙
Maria has such unbridled passion! It's a pity she is constantly interrupted by Rick. Zentangling is the best fun anyone can have with a pencil and paper.
how can anyone draw a spiral., give it a fancy french name and claim you invented it
When i was in 2nd class i found the book of Escher in the library i was so fasyneted about it that i began to draw a bit like him.Years later,the library sold old books and could buy the Escher-book for 10 euro's!!!I live in Belgium;East Flanders.I'm so happy that i discoverd Zentangle now.TYTY

Where can I learn this method? Anybody could tell me?
I am so glad to see this. I wanted to attend this event but it was so far away. Love it, thank you. Sandra

WOW thank you both so much ❤
Just wonderful!...THANK YOU!
I really like zentangles, and I would love to hear a presentation with just her. Since she's the artist, I would love to hear more from her. He seems to interrupt her speaking a lot, which I found annoying.
I believe this is her daughter that Also draws zentangle th-cam.com/video/_Ryxqs-DcAU/w-d-xo.html
Yes... He is soooo annoying and she is so amazing 💜
Apparently his name is first on their book. I get it… she’s the artist and he’s the business manager type. But he really needs to stop interrupting her. Serious trigger for all of us women that have had men talking over us and taking credit for our work.
I do love how she breaks down the artwork into something that anyone can do.
The amazing Rick and Maria.
I had an aneurysm 16 years and this make me as a person
6:25 did anyone guess how the illustration on the right is a Christmas card-I’m curious!
Update: I just needed to watch a little further, lol!
I loved watching your presentation, and videos on doing zantangle.

What I'm wondering is why these folks believe they 'invented' this type of drawing and put a trademark sign on it. You all don't 'own' drawing.
It's not so much the drawing, it's the process behind it. It's how to look at things in a certain way in order to represent them.
Just like, say, cubism. It's a manner of representing reality - at some point the manner is given a name. This couple gave a name to a process that includes both drawing and entering a meditative state.
They r wonderful people 4:43
Rick meditated on how to rip people off Compare Rick Roberts with Jon Kabat Zinn
Amazing!!!!
Excellent info. Great video. Very poor audio.
Why Rick do you keep interrupting Maria, she's the artist, she's telling about her passion and then you keep wanting to take the lead. It's so very annoying!
I was thinking the same thing, he talks over her and interrupts her all the time
Just as she kept interrupting him. It's a couple's thing. My guess is that their presentation was not really rehearsed.
Why is he constantly talking over her? That’s so rude.
Every single time she speaks he cuts her off. This is extremely irritating
Damn!
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
She is a great calligraphy artist. I truly respect that! Her doodles are nice. He's a snake oil salesman.

I wanted to hear her not him. Why is he up there?
He can't help himself from talking all over her! Talk about diarrhea of the mouth! I give up!
Amazing !
