ZENDALA DARE # 34 and PPF

This week is flying by and nearly gone!! One week left of my "Art teacher" identity! Had that now for 50 years!! I should have enough info to write a book about ideas for art hey? I have certainly collected enough "stuff" over the 14 years in current job, but then I guess art teachers are involved with 'stuff' every day and always think 'old stuff' is sure to come  in handy one day in the future.

This weeks zendala dare had me labouring over which and what patterns to use. I tried out a few and left things till the next day. I have been hankering to use my Gelly roll pens for a while, so used them for the zendala. I was quite pleased with the result.


The little piece underneath was worked using Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils and white paint. Looks a bit juvenile but here's hoping I will improve with practice in 2013! Life is a journey of improvements.

    i don't think it looks juvenile at all. i love the colors and the peaceful feeling of the silhouette. the detail and color of the zendala are fabulous too.

    Beautiful zendala. Love the limited colourpalette. The combination of the inktense with the white paint looks very interesting.
