Zentangle® – Next Step Up Beyond Beginner

Guided Class with a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT)

Ready to grow beyond the basics? This intermediate-level Zentangle® class is designed for students who already understand the fundamentals—border, string, elemental strokes, and a few simple tangles—and are excited to expand their creative skills. Taught by a Certified Zentangle Teacher, this session deepens your technique, enhances your artistic confidence, and opens the door to more expressive Zentangle possibilities.

• Reticula & fragments (grids and repeating structures)
• Transitions that connect tangles seamlessly
• Embellishments that add flair and sophistication

➤ Shading for Depth & Dimension

Learn more intentional shading techniques to create striking light, shadow, and 3D effects. Your CZT will teach how to place shading for maximum impact and how to blend effectively for a polished finish.
