15 Minutes of Zen! Beginner Zentangle®️ method!

[@rebeccacravens1487]

Your voice is so soothing. This is exactly what the zen in zentangle is for. Thank you.

[@KelliBlouin]

You are so sweet!

[@linniebb836]

I very much appreciate the Way you Teach! I really enjoy how you make me feel relaxed and capable! Thanks So much!

[@MaryGadsby]

Thanks to your videos, I am actually getting a little better eye-hand coordination and I’m so happy to be drawing, not a skill I have ever developed. I appreciate it a lot that you don’t try to be perfect and that your soothing assurances are so encouraging for someone like me who would be intimidated by the precision of activities like this. Yesterday I followed another of your videos which had a leaf and some raindrops. Hubby happened to catch a glimpse of it finished and he said, “You drew that?? the droplets look real.” That was a great moment of joy for me and the thanks belongs to you

[@KelliBlouin]

I’m so happy you are enjoying it and feeling success! It’s such a wonderful feeling to start with little lines and end up with a piece of beautiful art!

[@Kazzandshazz]

I have enjoyed watching this Kelly, I find it oddly relaxing

[@KelliBlouin]

Are you drawing along?

[@theresajb6463]

Thank you so much for your step-by-step instructions as well as your calming voice. It takes the 'scary' out of art. I'm very new to making my own and I appreciate everything you did. 💚

[@KelliBlouin]

I'm so happy you are enjoying it!

[@dannyobrien8314]

Thank you. Your channel is what I have been looking for. I've taken up doodling/ zentangles as a way to further rehab my broken wrist while remaing somewhat creative with no pressure for perfection. You go slowly enough but not too slow and explain things well. Thanks, from a new subscriber. LaurieO

[@KelliBlouin]

A broken wrist does not sound fun at all! Best of luck in your recovery and have fun tangling!

[@sherryturner2959]

How often do your 15 minute tangle videos Kelli. I’d like to see your previous ones and catch up with where you are bathe 15 is doable. I’ve struggled with tangling at all because I felt like I didn’t have time… 15 minutes I can manage. Thanks for these…Sherry

[@KelliBlouin]

I’m releasing a new video every Saturday!

[@sherryturner2959]

thank you...I'll make note to find them here on You Tube ....Sherry

[@sherryturner2959]

@@KelliBlouin thanks for your well done videos for our fun (and challenging) Inktober2022 patterns. Your video are out each Saturday so one should be new today and I can just check in You Tube to find it….yes? I continue to admire your tangled art! Thanks for putting out your instruction and I’m a big fan of “shorter is better” because we have to launch out on our own with a pattern at some time and can’t stay forever mesmerized by your work or we’ll never learn! I wish I could get it by osmosis!

[@meetamulay9585]

I loved it too

[@shadcrow522]

Excellent thank you.

[@katrinao]

Thank you for this tutorial. Does a steadybhand help as I don't always have a steady hand but need something to keep calm. And neurographic squiggles were helping but they got boring as they all seemed the same

[@KelliBlouin]

I don't think a steady hand is important. The process of drawing is calming and you do not need to worry about the results.

[@crystalblake5020]

That's cool!

[@bryanyankulov3162]

Wow. Kelli wants to be the next BoB Ross. However just talking like BoB Ross while you doodle all day. 😮😊😅😂😢

[@Ilanadhicreations-oi4nc]

Amazing, very nice. so after making this what will you do? i mean will you frame it or paste it? how does the final product look like? could you show your final product. if we like to sell it, how can we sell? so i wish to see your final output which is ready for sale.

[@KelliBlouin]

Hi! I just draw these to relax! When I want to work longer, I will draw this over and over and then add other tangle patterns with it. Sometimes I draw them on journals or cards, but mostly it’s just my way of relaxing. Many people use them in their own creative ventures and sell products with these designs on them.

[@patriciap6353]

I just started to do this today. I had no idea how to start so i pulled up a video for beginners and attempted to copy what i was seeing. So far my attempts look awful and i am stressed beyond belief. I still have no idea how to do this and I am ready to toss my sharpie and art book in the trash. Is there a special paper or pen to use to keep things from looking like crap?

[@KelliBlouin]

Oh, no! Maybe try another video or take a beginner class with someone near you. You can find instructors on Zentanlge.com. Keep trying! A good micron pen and drawing paper make a difference. Zentangle has beautiful paper tiles and a large selection of pens! You can also message me on my Facebook page "Let's Tangle" and I have beginner kits available!

[@asteralmach]

🙏👏👍

[@elizabethjones2088]

I’m not steady enough holding the fine pens Any tips appreciated

[@KelliBlouin]

Keep practicing! Rest your wrist on the table. Maybe you a thicker pen or marker that glides easier. Or, just embrace the wiggly lines! 🥰

[@eddiemachette7188]

Are you a fan of a certain Phanatic from Philadelphia?

[@KelliBlouin]

Who would that be?

[@Jake-cv1to]

Fold an owl, it's an origami owl. Render an owl in a zentangle, it's a zentangle owl. 🦉

[@crystalblake5020]

What kind of paper is that?

[@KelliBlouin]

It’s a little paper “tile” from Zentangle.com! You can purchase them from their website, or you can buy them from me on my Facebook page called Let’s Tangle!

[@kaydagnall1666]

Thank you - I’m going to fill pages in my journal with these and the hope is they will improve with time. I’ve always loved to doodle :)

[@valkyriewarrior007]

No matter how I try I always stuff it I find these really hard to learn

[@KelliBlouin]

Oh, no! I'm so sorry! Have you tried the same one several times? I usually do it over and over a few times before it becomes smooth.

enlarge to width of paper on xerox machine?..... then, use yellow paper?..... now, cut out each close to design...... 'toss' randomly each yellow design & glue (20/more?) to outside walls of a homeless cardboard shelter!..... waterproof with spray?.......... 2nd idea: cover telephone pole.
