Chiaroscuro Tangling | Class Recap

August 9, 2023August 16, 2023Leave a comment

In these sessions, we focused on the technique, Chiaroscuro (kee-AR-ə-SKOOR-oh) (Sub-titled “Fun with Tan (or toned) tiles). During the Renaissance period, a drawing technique called Chiaroscuro emerged in the fine art world. These types of drawings were done on subtly colored or toned paper, usually gray or tan. Using the paper as a neutral starting point, the artist would then use white pencil or paint to work towards light or to create highlights and then use black ink and graphite to work towards dark or create shading, also creating a 3D look.

Please enjoy the AMAZING works below!!

The replays of these sessions are available to Tangle Addicts Club members and those that paid for the class individually. Click HERE if you would like to purchase the replays or contact me (Heather@tangleaddicts.com).

Tangle-firmation Art | Class Recap

I have seen this concept done in many different ways, sometimes being called “Found Poetry”. I decided to put an affirmation spin on it – or just to highlight words that jump out at you. It’s just amazing what happens when we try not to thing toooo hard and just do.

To everyone that participated. THANK YOU for opening up yourself and sharing a bit more of yourself. As I sat, read and really took in everything you put on the page. I was overwhelmed with emotion with each one. THANK YOU! Make sure to frame it!

On these ‘Tough’ Tangle Tuesday sessions we focused on Hennie Brouwer’s, Amazing Spider tangle.

While most of had a tangle-over afterwards, I believe most felt the achievement, and felt pretty good about stretching the limits of focus.

Click HERE for my version of the step-out and over THERE for CZT Alyssa Hergets step-out which helped a lot!! Click HERE for more inspiration from Hennie and HERE for her step-out..
