This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for demonstrating the various patterns. That’s very helpful. The watercolor background really adds to the overall beauty.

I was thoroughly captivated as I watched you create this. At first I didn't think I would like it, but the more you did to it, the better it got. Very nicely done!

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you!

You all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.

@Dwayne Issac instablaster :)

[@dwayneissac2302]

@Bobby Christopher Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@dwayneissac2302]

@Bobby Christopher it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account !

[@bevdavy6343]

So loved this ! I've never done this before but want to!!! Will probably watch it again, maybe several times, but you make me want to do it. Thanks for all your hard work! ❤️

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you for your kind comment Bev!

[@glennysweiss]

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you so much Glennys!

[@tinawinget4733]

Just beautiful.i love water color and I’m learning to draw.

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thanks Tina! Enjoy the process.

[@yoes5129]

Forgive me for perhaps overthinking this, but the reason why I find this technique so inspiring is that it forces you to look at the patterns the paper provided to influence the art choices you make. I'm going through a difficult period in my life right now and somehow this method resonated with me to manage what I have been given, to know that the power to find beauty in the now lies with me. Thank you and I'm definitely going to dig out my water color palette out of my cupboard today

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Sorry to hear that you are going through difficult times. I hope this activity helps. I find that appreciating the good things in life takes your mind away from the challenges we may be going through, at least for a little while. I wish you all the best! ❤️

[@pixienixieqq]

I really enjoyed watching you create this piece. Your explanations were so easy to follow, and this was such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing this process with us.

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you Nancy!

[@pollyheinselman825]

Beautiful! So enjoyed watching you create that! ❤️

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you Polly!

[@DSmith-pc9jn]

I love the way you draw the tangles and fill them with so many different materials. Gives me lots of ideas for cards and journals that I make to sell at a local gallery. I am learning the tangles to also help abstract and stylize my drawings and paintings. I am just learning this and your channel is invaluable to me now.

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you for your comment. I’m really pleased that you are getting inspiration from my videos. I wish you all the best!

[@suzettek.3879]

Love this!

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you!

[@suzettek.3879]

I painted my watercolor today and plan to follow through with tangles later. My salt bursts are not as brilliant as yours, but I'll give it a try anyway and see what happens. After all, there are no mistakes in zentangles, right?😂

[@erminianotargiacomo6769]

Grazie, molto bello!

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Tracy Anne, I really really love ❤️ this it’s absolutely WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩. I really really think 🤔 you should frame this, it’s really really incredibly stunning and gorgeous too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you Mags! ❤️

[@JamesCooker-no8ud]

Hello How are you doing today?

[@terryhall2299]

Very captivating and soothing. I especially like your music pick. where would I find some thing like that for my own use?

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

The music I use is all royalty free music from the KZbin studio.

[@carolforest4841]

Pretty pic❤❤❤❤!

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you Carol!

[@carlitoalterego2709]

I like how you use multi media and not just black ink. I enjoy doing this too, how unpredictable watercolours are, great for inspiration as different patterns can lead to different tangles. Great stuff. You have a new cult member😆

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you! I love experimenting and trying out new ideas.

[@tresabradbury7948]

you are so talented and inspiring. I came across one of your videos and just had to try them out. I am a little rusty but I truly enjoy just watching you create. I have 17 grandchildren who have gotten involved in zentangling. I cant wait to see their excitement and joy finding such great examples of all that you do. Your piano music is exceptional.

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Thank you so much Teresa!

What pens are you using over the watercolor?

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

The blue pens are Uniball eye pens by the Mitsubishi Pencil Co. Ltd. I have a fine tip and a micro tip. The Gellyroll pens in white and gold are by Sakura.

[@CaiaGossensWollinspirationen]

Hi Tracy Anne, in this video you dip a little in how to choose patterns for your tiles and artwork - is there any video referring to this theme to dig deeper? You mention the ebook by tanglepatterns.com which I use, too. But my problem is, that I have difficulties to transfer the pattern to my tile, choose sizes and to transfer from one pattern to another. Any suggestions for videos? Or can this only be masterd by practise? Maybe you can make a video with this theme in the future? (I send you a PN on Instagram, but I think you didn't see this) Thanks and greetings from Germany! Caia

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Hi Caia, sorry I missed your Instagram message. I use the tangle pattern’ s ebook quite often to choose my tangles. I sometimes think of a theme for example swirls kzbin.info/www/bejne/paCZk4eoqdetaZI then I look for patterns that fit into the theme. I used this technique also in my video bubbles kzbin.info/www/bejne/in2nY5imhr6tqM0. In this video I looked for patterns that would fit into a bubble. Lace is another theme where I looked for patterns that looked lacy kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKXPm5ymrsdkbbs. I keep a sketch book where I experiment with tangles. I might get an idea the test it out in this book. I Practise drawing tangles here too, especially if they are a bit tricky. I often draw around a tile in this book so that I can practise in the same shape as the actual tile I am going to use. Not everything I try is great. When I have played around with tangles and come up with a composition I like I then create my final tile. Making a video to show my process is a good idea. I’ll consider this as a topic for a future video.

[@CaiaGossensWollinspirationen]

@@TracyAnneWilkinson No problem that it took some time. Thank you for your suggestions and ideas, maybe others find this helpful, too! Will watch the videos you recommended and also try to be more patient with me. Looking forward with what video related to this theme you will come up in the future. Another time: Thank you for your great work and support!

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

@@CaiaGossensWollinspirationen no problem. It is a subject that I see come up from time to time so making a video to address this subject will be helpful to many. Thank you again for your comments.

[@TracyAnneWilkinson]

Hi again Caia, another video you might find helpful is the one I made on composition. I delve into the principals of design but show how that relates to tangling. I also show the progress of a tile that I created using Facebook prompts and explain why I chose the size, colour placement etc. here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anPOp4evlsRpg8U
