One Zentangle A Day

Take your doodles to the next level with this best-selling and preeminent guidebook to the meditative art of the Zentangle. 

 

The Zentangle method was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas as a way to practice focus and meditation through drawing by using repetitive lines, marks, circles, and shapes. Each mark is called a “tangle,” and you combine various tangles into patterns to create “tiles,” or small square drawings.

Featuring the incredibly beautiful and inspiring artwork of author Beckah Krahula, One Zentangle a Day is divided into six chapters, each with seven daily exercises. With every chapter, explore a different aspect of Zentangle:

Basics and EnhancementsTangles and Value PatternsGeometric and Organic PatternsUnderstanding and Using ColorDefining and Using StyleCreating the Rest of Your Zentangle Journey

Each exercise includes new tangles to draw in sketchbooks or on Tiepolo (an Italian-made paper), teaches daily tile design, offers tips on related art principles, and contains an inspirational “ZIA” (Zentangle Inspired Art) project that incorporates patterns, art principals, and new techniques.

 

Drawing Zentangles is a relaxing and replenishing diversion that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. In addition to its soothing benefits, a Zentangle practice can also help with self-image, phobias, addictions, pain management, conflict resolution, and coping with grief.

Step away from the daily hustle and untangle with a Zentangle.
