Classic. When I was drawing this Zentangle, I realized that it was becoming just way too complicated and busy. Even while I was shading it with the brown pencil, I knew I would have to do something to bring back some high contrast, or it would just be a really muddy tile. At first I was thinking I could add gold, metallic ink. But that really wouldn’t pop enough here. The center of the Arukas reminded me of a gem, and then the light bulb lit up: turquoise.
I‘m not sure what was going on with my brain, here. This seems like a dream after watching a weird movie! Zentangle drawing done with Micron pen on Strathmore Vellum Bristol . Tangles: Bunzo Crewelery Daisy Beads Equerre Hypnotic Mi2 Pellet Sugarcane
