Challenge #54: "Purple Haze"

This weeks challenge is one of colour. We have to add a touch of the colour purple to our Zentangles which I have enjoyed immensely. The colour purple has always been a favourite or should I admit it is perhaps my favourite colour, so this challenge was a joy to do.

I have tried a couple of approaches this week. The first was to simply use a purple gel pen for a specific tangle whilst the rest of the Zentangle is done in the black Sakura ink. I really liked this after I had added the shading in purple of course…

The Second tile was approached differently. I first created a purple border in pencil then instead of creating the string in pencil I did it in a lilac gel pen and used a tangle for the string. Then I completed the tile using both the Sakura black ink as well as another violet gel pen. Finally I added the shading and I feel it has really made it work…

 I think I shall need to do some more with colour.....
