Something Else (Pointillism & Zentangle)

Comments

That's just glorious, Marilyn. Marvelous technique, and what wonderful color. You say you've used Faber Castell PITT pens, obviously in color...I've not tried these, are the waterproof?

Very effective portrait. Her hair is very intricate- the colours and design remind me of Gustav Klimt. Lovely.

Beautiful work Marilyn.

Thank you so much Lewis. Yes, when dry Faber Castell PITT brush pens are waterproof and can be used with watercolour.

Thank you so much Val. Apparently doodling is what you do when you’re concentrating on something else - The Zen factor in Zentangle is because it is done concentrating solely on the patterns themselves.

Beautifully done Marilyn, hats off to you. Adam
