I am Vicki Murray, a Certified Zentangle Teacher. I will be posting my teaching schedule and I hope that other CZTs will also share their classes. If you are interested in learning more about Zentangles, feel free to ask questions, join a scheduled class or get together a group and request a class.

Why do I create Zentangles and Zentangle-inspired art? First, it's fun! I find is very relaxing and since I began to draw in the Zentangle style, I do not have to use blood pressure medications and my blood pressure has been good through some very stressful times!

Have you always wanted to "be an artist?" Had all the usual "reasons" for not being able to do it? Well so did I. I promise you that anyone can create Zentangle art! I can't even draw a stick figure that looks good but this is the first time I've found something that makes me feel creative and I love it! The Zentangle style was developed by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas with people just like you and me in mind! To meet Rick (he's the "Zen") and Maria (she's the "Tangle"), go to http:/www.zentangle.com/company.php.

If you are not familiar with a wiki, check out how you can participate on the How to Use a Wiki page.
Tangles to Try page shows how to do tangles (the patterns or fills that are used). Some are the "official" patterns created and shown on the Zentangle website and some are original.
Zentangle-related news is found on the Check What I Just Heard... page.
The Tips, Techniques & Ideas page has ideas you can try, answers to questions I get and tips of various kinds that I've found... if you have any, please share them.

I have drawn like this for years and never knew what I drew had a name. I am so hooked. I get good ideas with the patterns and am able to build on them..

zenlogic What is "zentangle"? It is NeoPopRealism ink drawings. 0 Jun 30 2011, 11:32 PM EDT by zenlogic
Thread started: Jun 30 2011, 11:32 PM EDT  Watch
I learned about "zentangle" recently and I see that "zentangle" uses the NeoPopRealism' ink drawings concept. Artist Nadia Russ created this art form in 1989 --> http://www.nadiaruss.com .
Much later, Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas introduced themselves as "inventors" of a "new" art form, created by Nadia Russ, this is Senseless. They created new term "zentangle". Also, they a bit simplified it, offering the patterns, making it more available to the general public. Probably, they want sell their Kits to as many people as possible...
Any way, I do not believe it is an "innovation" to draw the art form that already invented by someone else on a particular size of paper they offer - 3 1/2x 3 1/2 inch. Any thoughts? You can enjoy the same drawing on 3"x3", or 3"x5", or 5"x5", or any other size of paper. Just get ink pen in any store and any blank piece of paper and draw line that turns into different shapes, then draw the repetitive patterns (circles, triangles, lines), filling the spaces. Use your imagination, relax your brain, get inspired.
