Zoom --Curves: A Zentangle Series
With Monika Ellis, OSB
August 5 - 26, 2026
Curves
This Wednesday morning series of Zentangle classes explores the beauty and versatility of C-curves and S-curves. These simple strokes can become flowers, trees, water, clouds, or anything your imagination discovers—even shapes that have no name at all!
Zoom only
Wednesdays in August
10:00–11:30 a.m.
- August 5
- August 12
- August 19
- August 26
Sister Monika has a daily Zentangle practice, creating images that may be fanciful, abstract, or representational. Zentangle is a relaxing art form that uses slow, deliberate strokes of a fine-tipped black pen on white paper. Because the artwork is typically created on a 3½” × 3½” cardstock tile, each stroke is short and intentional. You’ll be amazed at the beauty that emerges from your own hand! Whether you’re new to Zentangle or have been practicing for years, Sister Monika looks forward to helping you begin or continue your creative journey.
Supplies Needed
- Fine-tipped black felt pen
- Regular pencil
- Tortillon (blending stump)
If you don’t have a tortillon, don’t worry—you can still participate and observe how it’s used to blend graphite. Tortillons are available at most art supply stores, including Hobby Lobby and Michaels.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me at sr.monika.osb@stplacid.org or at 360 438 1771.
Bring your enthusiasm, too.
