We teach patterns. LOTS of patterns. It's what we do

This works real well when doing henna tattoos.

I do not teach calligraphy.

Was that a compliment? I'm not sure how to respond..... I letter at the beginning because I am a lettering artist. And to give some credibility to my teaching....and I think it is a fun way to start the videos.....M

We only have so much time in these videos, you could certainly take as much time as it takes to be happy with your work. I am an artist, by trade (most of my life) and I tend to do things very quickly. I purposely slowed my pace down as much as I could. You can spend 15 minutes on a tile or luxuriate and spend 15 hours. It is all up to you. Enjoy the process, love the results. Maria Thomas

While I don't deny the simple pleasure of the Zentangle, I must admit that the most skill I witnessed in this video was in the calligraphy at the beginning. Personally, the first 30 seconds of calligraphy distracted me from the next 14 minutes of Zentangle. And that pen was absolutely fantastic, with it's offset nib.
