Tangle Inspirations

"Anything is possible ... one stroke at a time."

Once hooked, you begin to see "tangles" in/on everything!

Before any instruction:  Note there are open spaces among the patterns, and no shading, but I did try to get a "balance" between darker and lighter areas.

I do a directed draw, three daffodil picture that is filled in using chalk pastels with my fourth graders every spring.  They are 12" X 18" and brighten the classroom until May, then go home  as Mother's Day Presents.  I thought about one flower, with patterns, and viola!

While the dog is "smooth", I don't think he would lay still enough to be "tangled", however...

Here I wanted to try filling in the background instead of the subject.

Family Room Rug ...

And I had another idea for a tangle, but I'm still missing the shading and depth I need ...

I continued to dabble, but knew I needed some instruction and guidance.
