Lovin' that Mooka. It has such a lovely flow to it. Here are 2 offerings for the Diva's Weekly Challenge (see sidebar for link). The first was done on a watercolored board with an 01 Micron brush tip with a little more watercolor added after the drawing was done. The second was done with a normal tip on white paper then toned with a very light wash of Payne's gray.
The Payne's Gray was an odd thing to work with. I dug out some old tubes of watercolor, both labeled Payne's Gray but 2 different brands. One had a very distinctive blue color - NOT what I was expecting (it was also the more expensive brand). The other was the neutral gray that complemented the black inks very well. Why the 2 brands should vary that extremely in color is beyond me. But I do like the watercolor shading much better than pencil and it doesn't smear like the pencil does. I use a small points on the brushes, lots of water for light washes, a tissue to get some of the excess water off the tip before it touches the paper, and a light touch.

The colors may be different but they both resulted in beautiful zentangles. But I'd expect no different when they are in your hands!
you do such excellent work....love the watercolor applications, really makes for a 'fabric' look.
Truly beautiful work, kiddo. Really beautiful!
Lovely job Sande, I especially like your second Payne's grey version. Textures are yummy!
This is so very lovely !
Very pretty! They have an almost art deco feel to them.
Oh WOW... that second one. My #1 fave Mooka so far this week!!
Very similiar shape and linework as the "leaves" I am doing on the longarm.
You are so good!!
