“One Zentangle A Day” by Beckah Krahula - Day 18 - Curvilinear Geometric Patterns
The new tangles introduced in this lesson are Cadent, Gneiss and Huggins.
Last night, when I was playing around with variations of Cadent, I had this idea that combined a geometric shape with both the triangular variation and the standard style of Cadent. I gave it a go on this tile. The result is a kind of layered effect in the center, where I placed the tangle Gneiss.
The secondary lessons was using curvilinear grid shapes, such as a latitude grid or a barrel grid. I didn’t get it to work completely, but you can see how the Cadent shapes are smaller in the lower left and get larger as they move to the upper right.
In keeping with the theme of this chapter, I used the organic tangle Flux inside each cadent shape.
I will probably give this another try in the future because I can see the potential!
