Description:

For something totally new to this group. If your not familiar with Zentangles please go to Zentangle.com. The usual format for a zentangle is a 3.5 inch square of sturdy cardstock or or other paper suitable for ink. Please use a smooth coldpress watercolor paper for this since we will be using both watercolor and ink for this project. You will Ink a Zentangle on a Watercolor background or use watercolors to shade a black and white zentangle. The point is to use watercolor to enhance an otherwise basic pen and ink zentangle tile. You will make one color enhanced Zentangle for one swap partner.

The usual Swap-bot rules apply. Flaking will not be tolerated. If you have a problem let your swap partner know. If you are flaked on let me know.

Any questions or suggestions message me.

Can you use watercolour pencils as well? I find I have trouble with my pens on watercolour paper, its hard to get good supplies here in Israel

Watercolor pencils work fine. The extra heavy duty sketch paper or the 100 pound cold press watercolor paper will work with ink pens and will also still hold up to a light wash or dry brush techniques with watercolors. Very carful dry brush watercolor will work reasonably on paper made for ink. If paper warps press under a hard heavy book. Warped pieces usually lay down with a little persistence.

I used watercolor pencils then a water brush on the above example. while the paper was wet I also went back in with the WC pencil for darker colors and deeper shading. I think I used the extra heavy duty sketch paper
