If you are looking to add color to your tangles, this is the place to go. It has a very concise description of color theory. The exercises shown are gorgeous. My one complaint is that a lot of the techniques hinge on having one particular, really expensive brand of markers. I'm not a professional or commercial artist. I really like the affordability of the basic stuff. This makes me pine for things that are not in the budget.

Don't skip it for the marker advertisement if you are really interested in color, though. It will give you a quick, thorough overview on color theory.

If you like to "doodle", this book is great for adding color, depth, and new designs... even if you think you don't know how to draw!

small, short book, but it has quite nice ideas for bringing color into your tangles.

An introduction to a fun way to enhance one's Zentangle art. Browning explains color theory in addition to types of pens and color techniques. Many examples colorfully illustrate the pages. However, the book would be difficult for a first timer to follow as there is not an in-depth introduction to Zentangle (some common patterns are demonstrated but not until halfway through the text).

You will find everything you need to get started with Zentangle or "tangling". This is a method of drawing similiar to doodling but being mindful of what you are doing. I use zentangle to increase my concentration as well as keep my stress down. All you need is a fine tip pen and paper. Anyone can Zentangle.

Awesome book of color!

I am an artist that also uses color when drawing. Time to Tangle with Colors by Marie teaches the very best of techniques for tangling and coloring/shading!
A great beginner book for those who love the infusion of color in their work.

It's a little book with a lot of punch. If you want to some coloring ideas and techniques for your tangles pick up this book. Besides suggestions for what tools to use for coloring there are also plenty of variations of tangles demonstrated to stretch your creativity.

As I was reading this, I kept thinking about how I could use zentangles when I'm scrapbooking. I'm away to get my scrapbook out right now!

Use this and other Zentangle books in my work with Veterans. Helps with mindfulness and concentration which are impaired in PTSD.
