Bring in some color

I really enjoy working with black or sepia pens on the white Zentangle(R) tiles, along with some enhancement with shading as I'm focusing on trying out a new tangle or doing some tangleations.

But, as is my "tradition" as the new year starts, I go through my art supplies and weed and discard as necessary the odd, leftover pieces of paper or pens that are dried out.

During this process recently, I found some colored felt tip pens in 01 and 1.0 sizes, as well as a gold gel pen. 

I had finished a rendition of Molly Hollibaugh's latest tangle, Arukas, (see it in the Zentangle newsletter here), and decided to apply these colors to the tangle. 

Adding the color in the way I did didn't add depth the way shading does, but I thought that it did enhance my angled and geometric interpretation of the tangle.

Maybe that's the direction of my Zentangle adventures for 2015: color.
