The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns called tangles. You create tangles with combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs. These simple shapes are the "Elemental Strokes" in all Zentangle art. These patterns are drawn on small pieces of paper called "tiles." We call them tiles because you can assemble them into mosaics. Drawing zentangles is beginner friendly!

What you will need: 4x4 squares of paper or sheets of paper, a pencil, and a pen (preferably Micron or gel pen).
