Fun With Color

This week I caught up on a few more of the tiles I have left to do from the book One Zentangle A Day (OZAD). I actually finished all the days a while back but am going back and picking up a few ZIAs that I hadn't done. This is really a great book and I have very much enjoyed working through it. The slideshow on the right side of this blog is my OZAD album.

This first exercise was to use alcohol-based pens to create a ZIA. I also used some water-based brush pens and an inktense pencil to round out the (rather limited) palette of my PrismaColor Premier collection. It was a fun project and I look forward to using these pens again.

Tangles Used: Hollibaugh, Crescent Moon, Nzeppel, PomX2, Bateek, and Festune

This second exercise was to use Inktense pencils and to shade using the complimentary color. I love my Intense pencils and really enjoyed using complimentary color to create depth. A new tool in my toolbox!

Tangles Used: Nzeppel and Tagh

This tile I did just for fun! Well, actually I was going to use it for one of the OZAD ZIAs but decided I liked it in black and white. I was doing this while listening to my son on the radio (he is a news anchor on a radio station in Taipei) and had a really great time doing it.

Tangles Used: Nzeppel, Taghpodz, and Florz

Last, but certainly not least is the Diva's Weekly Challenge. This was a fun DuoTangle challenge using two tangles that are new to me, Chebucto and Copada. I considered using watercolors to paint this as the Copada portion of the tangle made me think of rippling water but ultimately decided just to shade it with an ArtGraf Stick.

Hoping you are all safe and warm!
