"Beginning Zentangle®: Let’s Do Color!"
with Deb Coombs
In this third in a series of beginning Zentangle® classes, we will once again be drawing on a round Zendala tile. We will learn the techniques of laying down watercolors with analogous or complementary colors, adding Zentangles on top of the watercolor and then using more watercolors to shade our design along with a graphite pencil. We will also use a white charcoal pencil to add highlights.
No need to have taken the first class. No need to be able to draw - if you can write your name, you can Zentangle®! Come experience the joy of Zentangling and its unique meditative and mindful practice. Deb Coombs is a Certified Zentangle® Teacher (CZT), long-time member of the Art Center, and long-time resident of Estes Park.
Materials Provided by Teacher as part of Class Fee:
Deb will provide 2 white Zendala tiles, graphite pencil, white charcoal pencil, micron pen, 2 tortillons, marcus operandus, handout with step outs--all part of the class fee.
Students Will Provide:
Students will provide their own watercolor set, brush, container for water and a ruler or something similar with at least a 6” straight edge. (See
Materials/Supply Handout for details regarding suggested types of watercolor supplies to bring and where you might be able to purchase them.) If desired, a few students may purchase a watercolor set and brushes from the instructor for $8.00 on the day of class as follows: Deb will have a few watercolor sets, with brushes, on hand and available for purchase. ($8 payable directly to her on class day.) Note: Your best bet is to email her in advance to have a set reserved at dcgneota@gmail.com These sets are not high-end by any means, but it is the set that was used to paint the sample tiles and they turned out well.

"Every Subject Has More Than One Possibility"
Painting with Cathy Goodale
Does the painting ask a question and do you have to answer it? Does a painting have to have a story? Elements to consider: light and value, edges, color, composition, number of shapes, etc. I will bring flowers for the painting subject.
​
2025 will present another fabulous opportunity to paint with well-known local artist, Cathy Goodale, who will be teaching monthly at the Art Center from January through December ’25, with the exception of the summer months, June, July and August. Sign up for any number of classes in advance or one at a time, as the year progresses. Each class will meet from 10 am to 4 pm in the Art Center classroom, unless otherwise noted. Students will provide their own supplies/equipment. Bring a sack lunch or grab something quick nearby. Contact Cathy at cathygoodale@mac.com in case you have specific questions about the classes themselves. Her website is cathygoodale.com. The Art Center will handle all reservations, payments, and other housekeeping details. Each class includes a critique, a short demo, and a lot of “one to one” attention. Online critiques are included. Paint in oil or watercolor. Cathy shares the following mantra for ’25: “Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous!” (Bill Moyer) Cathy adds, “Let’s get busy and find the marvelous!”
