Zentangle in Nature: Contemplation of Nature Drawing Workshop

Zentangle is not just a drawing technique; it is a space for students to achieve mindfulness, connect with nature, reduce stress and relieve mental pressure through art. With the instructor’s clear

and understandable teaching, all students can easily grasp the essentials, and using strokes and lines to create beautiful images, enjoy the joy of Zentangle while relaxing their minds, without needing any art background. Drawing Zentangle in nature allows individuals to fully immerse themselves in the act of painting, enjoy the present moment and create out-of- the-box works; it stimulates boundless imagination and inspires contemplation, as well as strengthening their connection with nature.
