From the Zentangle Primer: Lesson 2, page 45, Exercise 4.

For this exercise, we were to use all the same tangles: Shattuck, Jetties and Bales, but use different shading.

I think Amanda (above) did a fantastic job with this tile! I love that she used several tanglations: Bales, Hollibaugh, Florz, and Jetties! My favorite is her version of Bales. It has so much depth to it now!

My artwork is above. I mixed Bales and Florz togther for my background, and pillow-shaded each floret in the design. I had a lot of fun with Jetties. I decided to treat them more like beads, and made each one different, although a few original Jetties snuck in on their own. I’ve drawn Shattuck many times, this is the first time I’ve added perfs to them.

Between the two, I prefer Amanda’s tile! I think she did a great job!
