This April, I’m participating in the April A to Z Blogging Challenge with a creative twist -learning and sharing Zentangle patterns! Each day, I’ll explore a new pattern, uncovering its beauty and include it in my zentangle inspired artwork. At the end of the challenge, I hope to have a completed artwork with all the patterns I learned in this challenge. Join me on this artistic journey as I embrace mindfulness, creativity, and the joy of tangling!
Day 6 of Challenge – F for Fayz
Zentangle designs typically evolve organically. There’s no rigid plan or structure; instead, patterns build upon each other. This flow state promotes relaxation and helps you tap into your creative potential.
Fayz is a tangle pattern created by the talented Zentangle artist, Melinda Barlow. It is a beautiful, structured design that creates a sense of symmetry and flow through repeating geometric shapes and organic forms.
One of the most distinctive features of Fayz is the way the curves create a visual rhythm. Each curve is built upon the last which adds fluidity and continuity to the design.
Here’s a short video on how to draw Fayz Zentangle pattern. I also drew a 3D gemstone in the middle that I coloured using pencil colors. I hope it is looking 3D’ish 🙂
My Previous A to Z April Challenge (2014 to 2016) themes covered travel postcards, poetry types, yoga asanas, and crazy siblings tales. Check the list here – A to Z Challenge
Beautiful! The gem in the middle looks so perfectly glazed and shiny!! You are such a pro at this, Raj!
Are Zentangles the same as Mandala art? What is the difference if at all there is any?
These patterns are really beautiful. I can imagine someone spending hours doing this, with a whole lot of focus.
P.S. I wonder if this a stressbuster or whether the need for perfection in patterns causes more stress :p
Cheers
