Deep knowledge of your media promotes mastery
In order to become a great artist, you must have a deep connection with your tools. They must feel almost like an extension of your arm and hand.

Only then you have a good chance of achieving mastery in your art and technique. This lesson is about establishing personal challenges and conducing methodic and beautiful experiments that will ease the discomfort of using new and often misunderstood new supplies.

What people said about this lesson...
"Loved this lesson. I'm excited to go on a hunt for my supplies and get started on a project. I was going crazy at the very end when I thought you'd missed the last black outline between two areas. Of course you caught it! The colors are so vibrant, and the contrast chart will be useful in lots of art projects. Love it, love it, love it!"

"Just wanted to say WOW! I learned so much. Perhaps the best lesson was to not worry . . . everything can be fixed. I would have given up before I started almost without that constant encouragement and example. I followed you, step by step in recreating the same thing you were demonstrating. All went well until the Arukas when I dragged the still-wet blue gelly roll ink into my yellow with my hand while working on another area. Even that could be fixed. Thank you for another great class!"

"What a great lesson! I enjoyed this even more than the live one at Tangle U. The bright colors certainly take Zentangle to a whole new level. Not having been trained in art, your lessons provide me with much needed theory to complement the practice and adding artistic flair to my tangling. Thank you for all the handouts that go along with this lesson, too. Best wishes,"
