Zentangle Kolam

Zentangle Kolam
One of the most interesting, art work, is Zentangle. Without any restrictions, you can create, freehand designs with repetitive patterns. I love Kolam and Rangoli, always want to share a simple Kolam, so that begginer's can try.

This Zentangle Kolam, I have drawn in my workplace and used rice flour or kolam podi to draw the design.
I have used four circles and semi circles.
With strokes, stripes, checks, etc....
I hope you all like it!

Freehand Zentangle Kolam

Zentangle Kolam

Zentangle means an art work, which includes freehand design with repetitive patterns. We can start by a freehand pattern, which is filled with, curves, lines, checks, dots, flower motif etc.

But today I have incorporated Zentangle in my Kolam... I am sharing an easy round Zentangle. Gendrally Zentangle is drawn on a paper, with black pen....but today, for paper I used my workspace (which is black) and for pen I am using rice flour or Kolam Podi (which is white in colour).

In my Zentangle kolam, I have drawn a mango motif filled with repetitive patterns.
I hope you like it!
