I use templates in my Zen Ink class because the participants feel more comfortable than having to free draw.
this is my Maple Leaf template. I still need to photograph the participant work...
The scans don't pick up the watercolor pencil coloring very well.
this next one is a mandala template -
I've made other templates for the last four weeks. I am amazed at the beautiful designs the participants are creating. I also had them work on colored cardstock with white pens
which is a nice alternative to black and white designs.
It's wonderful how quiet the class becomes when they're all focused making the designs.
Keep arting.
