Moleskine Watercolor Sketchbooks
I just added Moleskine Watercolor Sketchbooks to the Zentangle Books and Sakura Pen offerings on this blog site. Moleskine Watercolor Sketchbooks are top-of-the-line when it comes to sketchbooks and are available in many different sizes. The "notebook" size is extremely wonderful in which to display 'tangles.' It's small size is ideal and will fit into most purses or briefcases. I carry mine with me at all times and then I'm always ready to share the Zentangle technique when the opportunity arises.

Zentangle - A new art adventure
I started painting in 1999 with Donna Dewberry's One Stroke and became the first One Stroke Certified Instructor (OSCI) in the State of Kentucky. I opened Brush Strokes in 1999 in Nicholasville, Kentucky and rapidly developed a following of adult students numbering over 1,200. Since then, I have continually stretched my artistic wings branching into watercolors and pen & ink drawings.
I recently travelled to Whitinsville, MA and personally studied with Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, creators of Zentangle, and qualified as a "Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT)". Zentangle is a wonderful meditative type pen and ink experience that one needs to try firsthand in order to understand the power behind concentrating on one stroke at a time. Having dealt with severe health issues over the past 9 years, I find creating Zentangles is a soothing and relaxing way to clear my mind of negative thoughts and to experience the creativity within my soul. I hope to share the Zentangle experience with those who are experiencing stress in these difficult times as well as those who are dealing with their own health issues. I teach in Northern Kentucky but will gladly travel throughout the Tri-State area. If you're interested in learning more about the art of Zentangle and the philosophy behind the technique, please email me at marshall28@insightbb.com. It's lots of fun to get a group of people together and learn to 'tangle.' Whether it is a corporate function or a social get-together, I look forward to sharing the Zentangle experience with you, one stroke at a time, real soon.
