The Beginner's Guide to Zentangle

Take your doodles to a whole new level with this fun and easy guide to learning the meditative art of Zentangle.

Adapted from the best-selling One Zentangle a Day, The Beginner's Guide to Zentangle shows aspiring Zentangle artists step by step how to create unique, mesmerizing designs. Featuring the incredibly beautiful and inspiring artwork of author Beckah Krahula, this easy-to-follow book is divided into six chapters, each with seven daily exercises.

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.

Each of the six chapters explores a different aspect of Zentangle:

• Basics and Enhancements
• Tangles and Value Patterns
• Geometric and Organic Patterns
• Understanding and Using Color
• Defining and Using Style
• Creating the Rest of Your Zentangle Journey
