Relaxing, meditative Zentangle® workshops with Rashim ‘Daadi Dolly’ Bhargava CZT. No art background needed — if you can write your name, you can create something beautiful.
Rashim Bhargava CZT likes to be known by her childhood nickname ‘Dolly’ once again, after five decades or so — just because her grandsons call her that now!
At Vyaan Art we believe that art is everywhere and in everything we do. Everyone can make beautiful art pieces, and our mission is to help you discover and focus on your own creativity.
व्यानVyaan
“The life-giving air circulating in the body.”
The name is also a combination of her two grandsons’ names. ‘Vyaan Art’ is for them, for you, and for me!
Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, relaxing and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It is a mindful, meditative activity that focuses on the method — and results in fabulous abstract works of art.
Zentangle® has become an international phenomenon because of the numerous benefits of this art form. People of all ages, skills and interests can learn and enjoy the Zentangle Method easily — no prior qualification in art required.
Anything is possible… one stroke at a time.™
Rick Roberts & Maria Thomas, founders of Zentangle®, USA
If you can draw these five strokes, you can tangle.
Anyone who can write their name, or draw these elementary strokes, can create beautiful patterns under the guidance of a Certified Zentangle Teacher.

The best part? You do not have to be an artist to become the artist you always wanted to be. Every pattern is broken down into simple, repeatable steps.
Studies and real-life experiences of people have shown that these are some of the benefits of the Zentangle process:
It improves focus and concentration.
It is self-soothing and healing.
It develops patience — and enhances it.
It increases self-confidence and positivity.
It shows us the way to inner focus and relaxation.
It encourages free flow and a connection to your own intuition.
It brings about a more positive and confident approach within us.
It brings about better sleep patterns and is a stress buster.
It is a non-judgemental and forgiving art form.
It teaches us to own our mistakes.There are no mistakes in the Zentangle Method — only opportunities and possibilities we might not have explored otherwise.
It teaches moment-to-moment awareness.Much like mindful meditation — after all, the present is all there is.
All it takes is about 15 to 30 minutes to finish a tile at one go… or you can always stop and go, whenever time permits — and nothing will be lost or go to waste!

Don’t have the tools?
A square paper tile of 3.5”, an 01 black Micron pen or any fine liner, a pencil and a blending stump or earbud. That is all it takes to get started!

If you can write your name, or draw the elementary strokes — ● I C S O — you can make these beautiful images.

One day, while playing with magnetic letters on the refrigerator and teaching her two-year-old grandson the English alphabet, a pattern simply popped up. Built from the letters O, M, N and U, grandmother and grandson named it OMNU.
Thank you Rashim Bhargava for introducing me to Zentangle, a new form of art for me. It’s been fun meeting up virtually with you to learn it. Your patience and positivity make learning so much easier. I always wait for the next lesson, excitedly.

Enjoyed every moment of this captivating workshop with Dolly ji. Her enthusiasm for making this art is truly contagious. She has come forward to teach this art to the wives of soldiers as a welfare gesture. We are extremely grateful for your kindness and sincere efforts to spread happiness around us.

Another beautiful session with CZT Rashim Bhargava. Learning is an ongoing process in life. Keep learning, make mistakes — you can’t erase, so it has to become something different, something new. Each tile has a different version. Thank you so much for being such a patient teacher.
