This week I was inspired by Simone Bischoff’s Tangle Maylea.
I will play a few variations of this tangle pattern.
To check the original step out of the tangle – log into Simone’s blog here.
Tangling Maylea was not easy!
No, I did not mean the tangle; but doing it as my weekly challenge was “double the challenge in its own way”.
I went through so many phases of hurdles and obstacles.
Challenge 1: My first attempt! BUT FAILED.
Few months ago, I explored this Tangle on my sketchbook with my camera on, using just pen and paper. But ,I don't know how, I lost the video. 🙄
Challenge 2: Then this week I thought of exploring it again.
I was inspired to use my Pen & Ink Sketchbook, that I purchased from @furrytailarts, a local artist and a small business owner. Though the book is meant for pen and ink, I found it to be able to take watercolours with ease.
I already had watercolor washes on my paper; so all I needed was the mood and the weather.
My thoughts on my city Pune, these days experiencing lovely weather - it rains sometimes other days it is slightly warmer and by evening it is pretty chill. The hills across my home are feeling green again and people are seen in their light jackets, shawls, sweatshirts, etc.
With wandering thoughts, I started to draw.
Within an hour I completed the drawing.
It was a long hard day; had to do so many errands, and so many things went wrong, but my time spent on this journal was special.
And the next day I checked the video; it had so many errors & issues.
Just not good enough to put it out! 🫣
Challenge 3: So I decided to re-do it the Third Time.
I picked a watercolor surface page and once again started tangling. This time, I tried my best to be mindful of everything around me - The camera lens, my hands, the pen I use, colored pencils, and all other tools
You may think why am I sharing all my challenges here?
At the end of the video ,I felt very emotional. Sometimes sacrifices are made by the family; who deserve my attention & time. They allowed me to freely dwell and engage in my zone.
That is why, at the end of the video; I thanked my family to be present and support me emotionally, and psychologically and also for giving me space to carry out my work.
After a detour of Challenges,
we are back with Tangle Maylea!
So even though, twice I failed, my third attempt at the video recording went successful and my Youtube Video is up and ready here.
SO HERE ARE THE 12 WAYS TO DRAW TANGLE MAYLEA
