30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 9: Zentangle Inspired Art using the tangle "Ing"

This project is also for the Diva's Challenge #184 - a Zentangle weekly challenge - I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone, so to speak!  The challenge is to use the new tangle "ing" in a zentangle design or zentangle inspired art.

I had some trouble with "Ing" and am still not certain if I did it correctly.

I did this tangle on a piece of printmaking paper that I had left over.  I did a wet-in-wet background in burnt sienna and yellow ochre using QoR watercolors from Golden and then did my tangle on top using an .03 Micron Pigma black drawing pen.

Redux, Remix, and Revisit Your Comfort Tangles

The Diva's Challenge this week was for the "Tanglers" to redux, remix and revisit their comfort tangles...those favorite tangles that you go to because you are comfortable with them and they just seem to sort of fit your style.

I chose to do variations of "Betweed" and "Scrolled Feather" for my two tangles.  I contrasted the straight, hard geometric lines and shapes of Betweed against the soft curves of the Scrolled Feather. This actually turned out to be a Zendala in the end.

Then we were asked to select another medium to shade with, and I selected Prismacolor colored pencils and kept an analogous color scheme with warm colors.
