The history of Zentangle - Interview with the founders - Zentangle Event | Sakura
In this exclusive interview, the creators of Zentangle explain how they created this meditative drawing method. Watch this video to learn how Maria Tomas’ experience as an artist and Rick Roberts’ past as a Buddhist monk converged to create Zentangle as we know it.
With the Zentangle method, you draw patterns on small pieces of paper which you can then combine. You do not plan what your art will look like in advance. Instead, you allow yourself to be led by the moment. You turn the paper, holding the pencil in a relaxed way. While drawing, you reach a state comparable to meditation. A soothing calmness soon descends upon you.
An eraser is deliberately not included in the Zentangle package. If a line turns out different than expected, in this method it is seen as an opportunity. That is what makes Zentangle so calming: you never have to worry about the outcome. With Zentangle, creating art is within everyone’s reach.
With Zentangle, you do not need years of practice before you can create something beautiful. Everyone, regardless of experience, age or skill can do it. It may be easy to do, but that doesn’t mean the results are simple. To the contrary, you create splendid, intricate works of art.
