Another month, another blogging challenge. This time, it’s a 15-day daily blogging challenge. What can you expect over these 15 days? Gorgeous eye-candy from my art table! I hope you love these glimpses of my work as much as I love creating them.
Kick your Zentangles up a notch by drawing them on a painted background. Add some shading around the image (in my case a butterfly) to make it pop up and out of the page.
I created this piece using acrylics on watercolor paper. I used a Derwent Inktense pencil for the shading, and sketched a spiral fly path with a white pen to use as a journaling block.
This is an easy way to create coasters, greeting cards, or a small art piece for friends or loved ones. Just put on some music, and Zentangle away!

And head over to my Cupick store to buy art and canvas prints, notebooks, coasters, mousepads and more featuring my art.
So beautifully made.
I can make the zentangle but that experimenting with the colour part seems risky , will learn this from your eBook 🙂
Thanks Dixu!
It’s not risky at all. Just paint the background first, then draw over it!
Fantastic post as always. I’m going to need help regarding zentangles, only then will I attempt this. Beautiful work. 🙂
Try following tangle patterns, practice a bit, and then just go for it! 🙂
Wow.. so pretty. You just colored the background ? super 🙂
Yup! Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful it is 🙂
Thank you Saumy!
I am gonna try this madam !
TY for such a wonderful post !
Do try, and show me how it goes! 🙂
Sure madam.
Such a sight for sore eyes.. sigh.. I am not too sure how much of it will I ever try but you sure have increased my artsy-vocab by heaps!
Try try. Even if it’s just on some scrap paper. It’s such an excellent stress buster!
That’s a beautiful zentangle. I haven’t started trying them on other surfaces yet… I think I should give it a try looks even more prettier .
Going through your journaling posts….loving it.
Thank you! And I’m so glad you’re enjoying the other journaling posts too.
Ur welcome
The piece looks bright and beautiful. Vibrant to be precise. Looking forward to many more.
