Rain is one of the official Zentangle® patterns and it makes a great border. Rain can be drawn with irregular zigzags or very precise ones and each produces attractive effects.
CZT® Suzanne McNeill shows us how to draw Rain with step-by-step instructions, here. Suzanne illustrates the pattern repeated side-by-side making this a good filler pattern too.
Guest Zentangle: Jella Verelst
Here is a beautiful example of Rain within a Zentangle. This is the work of CZT® Jella Verelst from Belgium, and is shown on TanglePatterns.com with her permission.
Jella owns PaperArtStudio and teaches Zentangle® as meditative art form. She tells me she creates her Zentangles in complete silence, and I think that total focus definitely shows in her art. If you live in or near Belgium and want to take a workshop with a master, here is her workshop calendar.
