This two day class is guaranteed to expand your tangling horizons and get your creative juices flowing. Our first focus will be drawing tropical plants – big juicy leaves, spirals of fiddleheads, exotic orchids – using the principles of the Zentangle method to make the process relaxing and meditative. Next we will learn how to use watercolour pencils to make the tropical garden come alive with colour and drama. Finally we will make a few simple cuts and folds and create a stunning accordion book with our artwork. The finished result looks amazing and you can make it even if you have had no previous experience with drawing or bookmaking.
