Zentangle: Color Stories with Lois & Earl Stokes
August 11, 2018
10AM-1PM
“Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.” Paul Gauguin
This class is not about color theory. It is about listening to the story that colors Whisper to you. It is about watching a drop of ink blossom on a piece of paper and about how this makes you feel. It is about warm colors and cool colors and the dance of fire and water on paper and deep within you. Add to this dance the rhythm of repetitive patterns and you have choreographed a color story and a Zentangle Inspired work of art.
Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, relaxing and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It is the repetitive nature of these patterns that brings us into a state of relaxed focus that some call meditation. If you can draw a dot, line, curved line, S shape and circle ~ you can create Zentangle art.
In this class we will be tangling with alcohol inks. Squirted, and blown, splattered, and tilted, pushed, and pulled. Alcohol inks are so much fun to play with, you never really know what to expect. You don’t need to be a professional artist to create something really pretty with alcohol ink. The ink has a will of its own in the beginning.
A basic knowledge of Zentangle is recommended but not required.
Cost is $35 / $30 VAC members plus a $10 supply fee. Please bring a light refreshment to share.
