Here's a look at "Mary Jane". I just have a few areas to fill before she's complete. The pens I'm using for these black and white pieces are Micron Archival Ink 005, Micron Archival Ink 01, Black Sharpies both fine and regular tips and Sanford uni-ball fine tip pens. My favorite pen is the Micron 005 because the tip is so fine, it's perfect for those tiny detailed Zentangles.
The last photo here is the finished piece from yesterday.
After following the progress of Julie's family portraits from My Good Babushka, she has been such an inspiration to me I've decided to do a family portrait of my own. I plan to do mine in black and white with Zentangles galore. If you haven't seen Julies blog you much check it out. She has so much talent, I look at Julies paintings and think of the master's!!

Beautiful. I am really loving these black and white ones. You have so much detail in these, they must take hours to do.
ReplyDeleteYou are the DETAIL QUEEN!! These are amazing and you are so good at replicating the pattern! My hand is not so straight!! I can't wait to see what you come up with for your family portrait!! Off to check out Julie's blog! Have a great day Rebecca :D
ReplyDeletelove those black and white!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pen info. I just marvel at the variety of your designs. I did some zentangles and i just kept doing the same thngs over and over. You should do a posting just about different designs--actually--when you were working on class projects a while back--that might be a good project-sharing your different designs.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Rebecca. I love your black and white work. I also use the 005 pen and usually buy 5 at a time because I wear them out so quickly!!! he he he.
ReplyDeletecan not wait to see what you do with your family portrait...I might one of my family!!! your work is beautiful
xxoo
I especially love the patterns around her face,
ReplyDeletealso the direction around the face, you may have noticed I am partial to doing that sort of thing in a different way of course. I will go look again as I like it so much.
For me I am glad to be home from Kansas City and doing mundane things for now and should think of something and I have but the thought is not very complete and you know what that means, it means just go and get started and stop the mind fussing.
Well you've done it again. You never cease to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteRebecca,
ReplyDeleteThese are both GREAT pieces! I love the one from yesterday! It turned out really well.
I use similar pens in my detailed work - love my .005 indian ink! I haven't tried sharpies, but Amira has, so I am going to give them a go.
Great work.

These black and whites are strong!
