| "Winter Conifers" (c)2015 Margaret Bremner Tangles in the trees: Flux (two varieties), Opus, Sanibelle, Tipple |
Living where I do - in the middle of the Canadian prairies - I see lots of coniferous trees. They offer greenery in the winter, and often show up in my zentangle-inspired artwork.
Here are some tangles that may give you thoughts of
EVERGREENS

See examples of Flux in the first tile, Rick's version on the left and Maria's on the right.

There is another example of Prestwood in the tile above, using Prestwood as a single, long line.

SANIBELLE (from CZT Tricia Faraone)
For an evergreen tree, draw it "upside down". Find the step-outs at this link.
Here is a Christmas card using Sanibelle on a 3Z tile. We added tiny colored gems for balls or lights.

This is certainly not a definitive list. Put almost any tangle in a tall triangle shape and in the right context it could be an evergreen tree. See the example of Prestwood above. :)
Experiment. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteFABULOUS!!!!!! I am already making plans for next year's Christmas cards! Thanks for giving me p-l-e-n-t-y of time to practice!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I was thinking it might be late for many people, but you're right, it's just sufficiently early! :)
DeleteWonderful trees!! Thank you for including the tangle links too :-) Merry Christmas Margaret!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I think your Trifle tangle would work well for very graphic abstract looking trees too!
ReplyDeleteYes it would! Thanks for that idea. I'll have to give it a try. And I'll add it to the suggestions at the end.
DeleteWhat a wonderful idea. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAll lovely ideas but I like your winterforest the most, absolutely gorgeous! Thank you Margaret for your inspiring work and I wish you the best for 2018! Greetings from Belgium
