I loved all of these Zentangles! I also love that in your videos you admit when you are struggling with something or making mistakes. As an "imperfect" artist I appreciate seeing everyone else is going through it as much as I am.
Stunning pieces!! 🥰 I think I like the tube the most, but your biggest piece is amazing!! 😮 I'm such a color bug that I would have to color in the zentangle!! 🌈😂 Sorry you got hit with Covid, but I'm glad you recovered well!! 🤗
They all look great. I like the 90 minute one most, the white on black is just so striking. I think I could easily spend way more than 9 minutes just thinking before starting something so I think it's pretty impressive you got as much down as you did for that one :) I've heard some people refer to this kind of art as "zen doodling" .. not being limited to the 'official' zentangle patterns and structure but still very much about exploring repetitive patterns and shapes and letting it happen without getting too caught up in making something perfect. I think that last part is something lots of us struggle with!
While I was still in school, I picked up mehndi styles -- that is, the art style associated with classic henna tattoos -- for doodling in class, witch ended up being a first draft of a few different pieces that I think count more as zen tangles. I think it would pair really well with what you've already got in terms of style here.
I've just watched this video and very impressed with your work. I'm a Sarah Renae Clark member and many of her followers talk about you so I thought I'd give your channel a go. But. I just wanted to say something about Zentangle. Another commenter further below has mentioned this but I thought I'd expand. Zentangle is a trade marked name for the method of drawing patterns. Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts developed this method 20 years ago this year. In fact we are celebrating that with something special. I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher - one of quite a few around the country - based in Melbourne. So what you've done here is more zen doodling. Which was stunning. There's a bit more to the method though and if you'd like to know more I'd be very happy to spend some time showing you, personally, the intricacies.
Clever using the roller blind!!! I really love all of these. Seeing the full size 900 minute one sparked joy. It really is gorgeous! But I really appreciate the 9 minute one as well, as seeing something smaller is less intimidating. I've never drawn my own zentangle, but I've just gotten in some new gel pens so I might play around in my sketch book!
I love all these artworks !! You definitely have a great flair for this Zentangle genre of art. I loved all the designs you came up with. Your creativity is inspiring !! Thanks Aussie C. You truly have come into your own here on you tube. I love your style and your personality is fun and engaging. I look forward to many more enjoyable hours of watching you create gorgeous works of art ! 😀
I love zentangles. They're so relaxing to not only draw but to color as well. I love your design too. I wouldn't have thought to put zentangles inside a shape of a paintbrush like that. More just fill it around another shape of wavy lines and all. I used to do this with henna ink all the time.
I’m so sorry you got sick! I hope you’re all better now! 💕 I love these projects! The background color really brought everything together and made your largest zen tangle pop! I had SO much fun watching you create! 🥰
Just watched this with my little ones who are non verbal my daughter fell asleep saying painting 😊... beautiful work as always... thank you for doing what you do and I'm so glad your feeling better ❤
@@aussiecrafter she will be 5 close to Christmas and my son will be 3 in a couple weeks... is your son asd too? have you found a way for communication from your son? Any tips and tricks I'm always eager to learn
@@Arts_Grace my son has something called Angelman Syndrome which shares alot of traits with asd. He uses something called a PODD plus Ipad for communication. He does have a few words plus a few Keyword signs.
@@aussiecrafter I haven't heard about that I'll have to look into it thank you so much for sharing ❤️ my kids can sing nursery rhymes but they're irrelevant like when my daughter is angry she sings I love you rather than a song about being angry... remember that your not only an amazing artist but a beautiful soul and an incredible mama too ❤️
I really like that final piece! Something that might help if you decide to draw on that type of canvas again is to coat it with clear gesso first. That will give the markers & paint something better to stick to since the vinyl is so smooth.
Thanks Di, these are lovely- process and product. The term that Maria and Rick (originators of Zentangle) use is tangling rather than zentangling. They are all about process, although their product is usually gorgeous too. I think that what you did today would be called ZIA, zentangle inspired art as usually tangling is supposed to be unplanned and non- representative. Lots of artists sell beautiful ZIA like yours, it is a truly lovely art form. I would love to see you explore this further.
I liked the 90 min one. If you look at zentangle images, they are generally pretty full, not a lot of negative space. I think pre-planning the final long image kind of goes against the principle of zentangles, and took a lot of unnecessary time (your first 2 spontaneous ones were great).
These are great, I am currently filling in a sketchbook and one of my last pages was a zentangle page. It’s very therapeutic to create and anything goes.
It's ok. You don't have to be a big fan of the first zentangle. Because I am! I wonder what you do with artwork you don't like? Do you ever hang your art at your school? I bet they'd love it there.
No, I never take my art to school. I do show some of the kids pictures of it sometimes. When I don't like something, I tend to get rid of it. Except for pieces I can learn from, like trash Cinderalla.
I love your zentangles, it’s so pretty! I’ve tried zentangle doodles a few times but pretty much run out of patience and things just end up looking very wonky and unpolished
Wow all of your Zentangles looked interesting and really cool! I love watching you and how you're planing on your pad! I also tried zentangling before, buuut... I felt very lost because when it comes to patterns I'm suddenly completely blank and I don't know what to do xD So really, respect for pushing through so many zentangles :) And one more thing, I think others have already pointed this out - but I really, really enjoy to watch your thought processes and your problem solving. Nothing is better than watching the real process >w
I used ultra fine sandpaper on a poster board to give it some tooth becaue i wanted to use graphite pencils on it. I wonder if that would work on this background?
These look great. Zentangles aren’t relaxing for me. Just getting started stresses me out and the more stuff i put down the higher my anxiety gets 😕 I love looking at it….but doing it….nope.
the 90 and 900 min pieces are stunning!!!!

We are our worst critics especially when it comes to art. All your pieces turned out to be lovely! 🤩

Absolutely loved all three. Really thought the 90 mins was cool but that 900 mins one was superb 👌🏻

Thank you. Sounds like a great idea. I didn't find it easy at first but after a few nights of playing around I found my groove 😁
Fantastic work again, these turned out so good ❤ hooe your feeling a bit better now x

I love the final piece!! I would totally buy the line work as a coloring page or even a print of it to hang in my classroom. Great job!
The solid colour on the bug piece looks fantastic! Never tried Zentangle myself, but the final results do look pleasing 💙
AWESOME ❤ WOW Hope you are feeling better!! from Ohio🇺🇸
I love watching zentangle art

That's so sweet. How old are your daughters? My son, 14, is also non verbal.

Good idea, thanks 😊
These are absolutely stunning! Ive seen this style referred to as "zendoodle" so a mashup of tangling and doodling.
Sounds accurate 👌
I loved the tube good video love it all

So nice! A LOT of work!❤
Incredible ❤
AMAZING!!
What an ambitious project! Especially after you got sick. It came out very fun and pretty =)
Thank you! 😊
That is incredible! The solid colour background really brings it all together and helps with the contrast!
Good job Di

Thank you. Mine do too when you look closely. Digital zentangle is far more satisfying for me,,, I love the undo button 😆

Thanks 💜 I definitely struggled with the patterns at first but the more you do it the easier it gets 😄
I am curious what you do with an art work this big after you complete it? everything looks great.
Not sure yet,🤷♀️ it's still hanging where I filmed it until I think of something 🤔😆
I used ultra fine sandpaper on a poster board to give it some tooth becaue i wanted to use graphite pencils on it. I wonder if that would work on this background?
These look great.
Zentangles aren’t relaxing for me. Just getting started stresses me out and the more stuff i put down the higher my anxiety gets 😕

See you sahawntitasmith you love you too love you too love you too love ❤
Please dont go hard on your self art is abouthaving fun.Try not to overthink art
