How to draw PANEPINTO

Happy Friday everyone!

This is the weekend in South Florida where we traditionally kick off the Christmas season with our holiday Boat Parades, the largest being the Fort Lauderdale Winterfest Boat Parade which I’ve written about here and here in the past. “It’s 12 Miles of the ‘Greatest Show on H2O’. “ I’m taking the liberty of repeating myself …

Tomorrow night is party time for miles and miles all up and down South Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway.

The 48th Annual Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade, one of the top 20 parades in the world and the 7th largest one-day spectator event in the country takes place December 14th.

This year’s ultimate light show extravaganza features hundreds of brightly lit and decorated boats and yachts cruising from Fort Lauderdale’s downtown New River on a 12-mile route along the Intracoastal Waterway to Lake Santa Barbara in Pompano Beach.

You haven’t lived until you see Santa and his reindeer on the prow of a sailboat adorned with Christmas lights and surrounded by carolers trying to make themselves heard above all the music going on around them, mega yacht horns blaring the loudest. Or see Santa arrive with his sleigh surrounded by palm trees 😀

This gives an excellent glimpse into what goes behind the Parade and some of the festivities and love surrounding it. I hope you can take a brief break to get a taste of life in South Florida during the holidays:

Every year boat owners attempt to outdo each other with their fantastic decorations. It’s a truly wonderful annual tradition that gets the holiday season going with a bang and tomorrow night is Boat Parade party time!

And now for today’s Panepinto tangle …

CZT Lucy Farran shares her Panepinto tangle with us today. She recently shared her fun Swooshi with us.

Lucy explains the inspiration for her tangle and for its name:

The tangle ‘Panepinto’ was created as I was tangling on holiday and glanced at the cover of book I was reading.

It had a pattern down the edge, which when I deconstructed it, appeared to be made up of orbs and flux (Rick’s version).

The final tangle doesn’t look a lot like the original pattern, as I stripped out a lot of the detail, but it definitely served as inspiration.

The name ‘Panepinto’ comes from the name of the cover illustrator of the book, Laura Panepinto. I originally named it Parker, after the author of the book, but realised that didn’t make much sense.

Lucy illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Panepinto below, “The other tangles included on the examples are: on the white tile, a Cruffle fill, Mooka and Indy-rella and on the black tile, a Printemps fill, with Lisette in the background.”

6. "A Zentangle has no up or down and is not a picture of something, so you have no worries about whether you can draw a hand, or a duck. You always succeed in creating a Zentangle." Thus patterns that are drawings of a recognizable naturalistic or actual object, figure, or scene, are not tangles. A pattern is not always a tangle — here's what makes a tangle. TIP: tangles never start with pencil planning.
