“One Zentangle A Day” by Beckah Krahula - Day 5
The two new tangles for this day are Isochor and Printemps. Beckah chose them because they are perfect candidates for adding “sparkle”, a tangle enhancer. If you look at my tile above, you will see little white spots on two of the tangles where the lines are incomplete. They create the impression of a small highlight.
Another small change in the practice for this day is the use of an Artist’s Trading Card for the tile. At one time, Zentangle sold these, precut from the same paper as the standard white tiles. I’m sad that they are no longer available. I used one from my dwindling last pack for this exercise.
I like the balance of the tight-lined tangles with the drama of the colored in tangles. I also had a lot of fun playing with the shading for Isochor! I hadn’t used this tangle in a long time. I will probably use it more often, now.
