Basic Zentangle
A Fun & Easy Art Form
Feeling stressed? Need help focusing? Want
to disconnect a bit from the electronic world
we live in? Zentangle® is an easy-to-learn
art form using black ink on white paper
and shading with a soft pencil to create
complex, abstract pictures. Even if you
can’t draw a straight line, leave class full
of pride, excitement and wonder at your
creations! Learn to combine the designs,
called tangles, in so many imaginative ways.
This drawing technique is so absorbing that
many forget there are others in the room.
Great for anyone who wants to learn a
freeing, meditative art form. Leave with the
confidence and skills to continue on your
own.
Dusty Darrah
is a certified Zentangle
teacher. She says “no drawing skills
needed.” Each basic class will introduce you
to eight new/different tangles (designs) so
you can feasibly come to all of Dusty’s basic
classes and never repeat the same tangles.
The $10 materials fee is for a kit of a
Micron pen, practice paper, soft pencil and
sharpener, a blending smudger for shading,
and three paper tiles.

Zentangle Inspired Art
Have you dipped your
toe into Zentangle®
and learned the basic
tangles? If so, this is
your class. Start with
a quick overview of
tangles to use and
then combine those
with ones you’ve
learned in the basic
CFU Zentangle class
(or the equivalent) to
create pieces of art for display. Knowledge
of 10-15 tangles or two basic CFU classes
are required for this session. In December,
create a Christmas tree or wreath on black
paper and learn a technique to make the
ornaments look 3D. Please bring with you:
a Micron pen, a soft pencil and sharpener, a
blending smudger for shading, and any type
of colored pencils or pens. Metallic colored
pens are recommended if you have them for
the Christmas tree session.

Basic Drawing
Drawing as Seeing
To draw well, you
have to see well.
The mind wants the
hand to draw as
it imagines things
appear rather
than what the eye
observes. Come
learn to see with
the eyes of an artist
and experiment
with many basic drawing techniques such as
contour, line, and gesture drawing, as well as
learning to consider the importance of using
negative space. We’ll explore the fascinating
process of describing three-dimensional
objects on a two-dimensional surface (paper)
in a way that evokes realistic representation.

Beginning Colored Pencil
Techniques
Bust out in a riot of color in this beginning
level drawing class. Drawing and shading
with colored pencils are not hard once you
learn some basic color theory, and learn
how to “see” the rainbow of colors that can
be used to describe something as simple
as a blueberry or apple. Class will focus
on learning and using three colored pencil
techniques: layering, underpainting, and
burnishing. Practice each technique and
then choose a colorful photograph to create
a more elaborate drawing from.

is a lifelong artist with a long background
in drawing and painting. She also made a
living as a motor sport and fine art/portrait
photographer for more than 10 years. Work
from a selection of colorful photographic
images (you choose what appeals to you),
and leave with the skills to expand into your
other drawing projects. Class focuses on
how to use colored pencils effectively and
assumes very basic drawing skills.
