Develop a sketchbook habit by overcoming fear and intimidation.

Are you reluctant to make the first mark on that nice clean new page of your sketchbook? Maybe you’re afraid you’ll mess up the whole book with a bad drawing? Perhaps you’d really like to fill a sketchbook with beautiful drawings but you just don’t know where to start? Maybe you are intimidated at the shear amount to work and time it will take to fill a sketchbook. Do you lack the time or the patience to develop your drawing skills?

Zentangle: Workshop
Date: Saturday, June 27, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. - noon
Location: Paradise Art Center
Zentangle is an easy-to-learn and relaxing way to create beautiful drawings. Originally developed by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts, Zentangle is more than just an art form—it is a meditative practice that has been found to promote mindfulness, creativity, and personal well-being.
The joy of Zentangle lies in its simplicity and accessibility; anyone can begin without any prior artistic experience, using simple tools such as paper, pencil, and pen. Zentangle uses the phrase “No Mistakes” allowing you as the artist to focus on the positive energy behind creating the art, not the finished product. The instructor is a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT) with over 13 years of zentangle experience, trained by the founders Maria and Rick.
