Cathy is back with a beautiful Stargazer Lily botanical drawing for you! If you haven't taken a class with Cathy yet you're in for a great treat!

Zentangle® Dingbatz with Brian Crimmins, CZT

When: June 6, 2 - 4 EDT
Cost: $40
Live and Recorded class on Zoom.

Dingbats (with an “s”) have been used for centuries in typography to decorate book covers, to separate sections in a book or other document, to create visual interest, to frame text or large initials, to draw attention to a particular passage or quote, and much more. Dingbatz (with a “z”) are used in a similar way, and with great versatility. They’re fun to draw using familiar Zentangle techniques, and they can add a little magic to just about any surface.

​In this class you will:
  • Understand the anatomy of Dingbatz that will support you in drawing balanced designs both in placement and in texture.
 
  • Learn how to draw Dingbatz using classic Zentangle skills as a foundation. This includes suggestions on the types of tangles that play well with others to make your Dingbatz as delicious as possible.
 
  • Be inspired by a wide variety of examples that illustrate how Dingbatz can be used to create special touches to almost any surface. 
Supply List:
The supplies are very simple, just your basic Zentangle® supplies including black and brown Micron pens, pencil, 3 1/2" squares of art paper, sketch book and the book Zentangle Dingbatz by Brian Crimmins, CZT. 

Who can attend? Everyone! This class is open to all artists! A basic understanding of the Zentangle® method is recommended.
