I have something different to show today :) I've been learning Zentangle this summer as I've been admiring beautiful artwork on Pinterest and Blogs and have been wanting to give it a try. I've been a 'doodler' forever and Zentangle is a wonderful extension. I still need to practice and learn more, I can't remember the names of the patterns, but I love it.
I think this Journal Page is a combination of both Doodles & Zentangle. Below is the cropped version which I like better, the lady seems more mysterious.
I used a Acrylic paints & Neocolour II crayons to paint the face and Inktense pencils (love them!) to colour the tangles.
Below is the full page.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the weekend,
Shirley

This is fantabulous, beautifully drawn and painted. I especially like her necklace, her blue earrings and the pink leaves in her hair, but it's all good.
This is amazing Shirley and a beautiful piece of work - I think you have really mastered Zentangle. I would love to learn how to do it but not sure I am artistic enough!! Thank you for your message earlier. Hope you are enjoying your day. Di xx

Hey Shirley, wow! Your Zentangling is looking really good!!! Some of those patterns look really complex... Neat way of cropping the image too. Adds interest and mystery not being able to see the whole face. Beautiful!!!
An outstanding and breathtaking composition dear Shirley! This is JUST GORGEOUS!
You should make more in this style.. that's fascinating!

Oh, my gosh, I want hair just like that!! This is so fun and you are SO talented! Some stamp company should pay you for this and make a stamp out of it! Another stunning talent we get to enjoy from you, Shirley, thank you!!
Just love this. OUTSTANDING!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh Shirley I do love this -- I love the tangles and yours are really beautiful!

Shirley! This is truly AMAZING! So gorgeous - not just the colors, but the entire composition. I can so relate to this portrait - it feels like my own soul! Colorful, full of love for nature, respect for all life, seeing the beautiful details in everything and being thrilled with every tiny thing in life! I just LOVE this! hugs, de
Shirley this is the first Zentangle that I have seen and really like. You have inspired me to have a go after seeing this delicious make.

This is rather special - I agree about the mysteriousness of your cropped version for it looks as if your lady has just caught sight of that dragonfly. Your use of colours really makes this 'pop' & I love the way you used the tangles for her hair. Her necklace is a joy.

PS - Just sat looking at your full version too & there's the same glint in her eyes with that one right hand dragonfly - as if there's some unspoken communication.

This is amazing! Zentangle is fascinating to me since even my doodles look like a plate of spaghetti! And to color this is really amazing!
Hi teamie, you've been doodling, it looks fantastic and really inspiring to get my drawing pen out. I always like to draw faces, they fascinate me and your AJ page too, great work, hugs Mirandax
Wow, some fab patterns you have created there Shirley! I love the cropped picture too. Love that turquoise colour. xxxx
This is so stunnig! So different from the cards you make and still it has a finesse thats typically you... Have a creative and fun week, Gerrina

Amazing and stunning stuff! love it Shirley

Beautiful work Shirley!!!! You really learned a lot with these lessons. The patterns you used look great and difficult to me! I love to doodle, but Zentangle is quite a different story and I am surely not good in that. I just play around :-)) Your colouring of this work is also beautiful. If it's okay with you, I'm going to put your work on my Pinterestboard Zentangles and other.

wow this looks amazing, love this!!
so beautiful!!
Wow! This is fabulous, and looks very labor intensive. All I've done is buy a basic book! You did a fantastic job on your doodling...so pretty with all the colors. Love the Inktense pencils. Just learning Tombow has a new pencil, Irotjean (?sp?) which I've been seeing on the net. TFS
WOW, einfach fantastisch Shirley, das ist so unheimlich schön geworden!
