In this book readers are introduced to the &doodling& process of Zentangle
- an art form that uses repetitive patterns with the notion of focus & relaxation to create striking works of art that anyone can achieve regardless of age or artistic ability The best part about this art form is that all the reader needs to get started is a pen & paper After an introduction to what Zentangle is how it started & what the basic materials are the author guides the reader through several patterns & methods for creating the art Following examples of the basic patterns (enthusiasts call these tangles) the reader learns how to add colour to their pieces if they like as well as fun ways to use the process in their art journals Finally an inspiring section of photos showing examples of Zentangle art being worked on surfaces other than paper (shoes walls a car) that demonstrate the possibilities of how far to take the process
