This class was super fun! My artistic style tends toward minimalism but I enjoyed how over-the-top decorative this tile was. It was definitely out of my comfort zone but I had fun doing it, I learned how to use the ogee grid - which I previously never liked - and I continued to improve my shading techniques (which are rudimentary at best, but slowly improving).

The construction of the Ogee grid was a relaxing process. The graceful curves falling into place provide an eloquent background for future tangling. THANK YOU Eni for this. I see lots of Ogee grids coming soon to a sketch pad near me.

This is another fabulous lesson Eni! I really had fun with the tile. I'm amazed at the symmetry I was able to achieve. I think your suggestion to do each element before moving to the next element is the reason for this. For example, if I was making a curved line on the right side in one ogee, I completed the same curve in each of the other ogees before moving to the next line. It made all the difference for my tile. I love how colorful the tile is as how beautiful it turned out
