Zentangle is a meditative art form involving repetitive patterns created with markers and pens on paper. It was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas and involves focusing on individual strokes and patterns without concern for the final image, as mistakes can become new patterns. The required materials are fine and ultrafine markers, colored pencils, and paper.
