I’m so pleased to open registration for this new online class from best-selling author Beckah Krahula!
I often hear from students that they first dared to draw using Zentangle, and that was their “stepping stone” to start taking some of my drawing classes… yay! Following is a little about the class (or click here for all the details).
From Beckah:
I am very excited to announce my only online class based on my book, One Zentangle A Day. I am a very passionate tangler and have found it to be an invaluable tool that everyone should know. In ten to twenty minutes of tangling, I find myself in a heightened state of focus, where knowledge, intuition, and instinct work as one. Artists have long referred to this state as being in the zone, which before learning to tangle could be a hit or miss event for me. I am often quoted as saying,
“Tangling keeps me untangled” TM
and it is true. Creating a meditative tile daily sets me in the zone first thing and I truly attribute it to being one of the reasons I am so productive.
My book One Zentangle a Day teaches the meditative art of ZentangleTM and is a six-week course. In this online class we will be doing an overview, with six lessons over two weeks. Each class begins with learning some tangles, then uses the 11 steps to complete a meditative art tile.
Now that we are in the zone we will create a ZIA, Zentangled Inspired Art, that will cover new tips, techniques, and inspiration for creating beautiful pieces of art.
I am excited about working with Carla and Steve and looking forward to sharing the projects with participants in the gallery.

This is going to be a relaxing and fun class for anyone who would like to explore the meditative benefits of drawing (and especially for beginners!). And for more advanced tanglers, I know you won’t want to miss all of the unique ways you can make Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA)!

Carla,
Is Beckah’s class available indefinitely like your online classes, or only available for a certain time period?
Looks like fun – many thanks, Donna

Hi Donna! With my “guest” artists, the classes are available for one year after the date of purchase.
Thanks for your interest!
This looks great Carla. Hopefully, it will be offered again sometime.
I bought the book in July and have basically been “tangling” every day since! I just LOVE Bechah’s book, One Zentangle A Day. The only other Zentangle book I like so far is Alpha Tangle. It could be because I have been on a quest since July for all the “official” tangles. I also just bought Yoga for the Brain and Totally Tangled, but still like Bechah’s book the best. I would call myself somewhat of an artist before but now, I can’t seem to do much else.I have tried almost every project in the book, just not the ICE resin. I love that she didn’t use a ton of artists. The book was very organized and systematic. A lot of people don’t like structure. I think when you’re doing something new you should follow the book completely at first. There is a chance every day to do your own thing when she asks you to create a tile of your own based on the tangles she taught. Near the end of the book you are encouraged to invent your own tangles and then use them. To organize the tangles, I have drawn two sketchbooks of them. I now have all the official tangles plus some of my own. This online course is probably going to entice everyone to buy the book!
I signed up for the class and can’t wait for it to start! I enjoy drawing Zentangles and find it very relaxing. I have lots of books on the subject but not this one. I find I learn best by taking a class and doing the assignments plus I enjoy seeing other people’s artwork which your online format provides. Thanks for offering this class, Carla! 🙂
I’m thinking about signing up for the class but I won’t be able to start until after the holidays. I was wondering if we would still be able to get quick feedback or interaction from the instructor?
Thank you for your comment and your interest in Beckah’s class!
Once the “live” session is over, the class flips to a “self-study” class, which means you can work the material at your own pace. Beckah will still be available to give feedback, but you will need to be more intentional about letting her know there is something to view, as she won’t be checking the facebook site regularly after the class ends.
She is planning to repeat this class in February or April, though, so if that works better for you, I’d wait.
Thanks again!
