I had not drawn in zentangles in ages, so for fun I pulled
out a background painting to draw on. I stared at the painting looking for
shapes to draw the zentangle patterns in. What I saw was a big fish trying to
swallow a little fish, with a smaller fish in the distance. Fish are easy,
because their scales are a pattern. Plants, rocks even water are all patterns.
The trick was adding colors that would look good with the mostly yellow and
orange colors already in the background. This painting was a lot of fun to do,
and I love my cartoonish fish. I strongly suggest if your want to get your
creative juices flowing, just pull out an unfinished painting and see what you
can see in it. I have done more of these
painting; it is so much fun, and a good way to use up your background
paintings.
