Starfish
Starfish is a tangle for the color happy among us. Because of the various possibilities of patterns in the star points, color can be used in any and every way.
In the first example, I used the gem that is the Prismacolor Blender Pencil. I created various sized Starfish and then colored them, adding lots of different flourishes and features for you. These are just the beginning.
The Prismacolor Blender Pencil is one of my favorite tools. You can color a tangle in various colors and then use the blender to soften the gradient merge of color. Try it out—you’ll love it.

The second example is plainer and uses watercolor paints. Either opaque or transparent, these paints are so useful when coloring tangles. As with all things color, I encourage you to practice and explore options. Even if you don’t like the end result, you’ll have learned something.
Use these tiles to practice adding color to your tangles. Try markers and paint, pencil and pens. Use a combination of any and all.
