Drawing CELTIC SPIRALS doesn't have to be hard! In this video I show you how to draw a basic DOUBLE CELTIC SPIRAL as well as a triple spiral. After that we move on to learning how to join them together in two different ways!

TOOLS...
All tools below are what I prefer to use in my own work. Feel free to use these to jumpstart ideas for you own Celtic art toolkit!
DRAWING PENCILS: A good range in lead weights gives you flexibility. For example, if you find a normal pencil draws too darkly and is a pain to erase, try a 2H or 4H, which will draw a lighter, more "silver" line, as opposed to something softer like a 2B or 4B, etc. Using "artist" quality pencils typically means less lead breakage and less "catching" on the paper. amzn.to/3c8mcC7
ERASERS: I prefer to erase with a white vinyl eraser. It is SO much better than a pink pearl type eraser (just burn that pink eraser, it's garbage! LOL). The white vinyl type is gentle on your paper and erases more cleanly. amzn.to/3c9embj
INK OUTLINING: Consider using a pigmented black ink for fine art as they are considered archival in quality. I love the Staedtler brand for my outlining. I tend to use all the different tip thicknesses - think for main outlines, and then down to the fine for details. amzn.to/3c3W3El
COLOR OUTLINING: Choose finer quality color pens so they are less likely to bleed or fade. Staedtler is again my go-to choice for these. amzn.to/3c9CgTV
COLORED PENCILS: I'm a snob and really love Faber-Castell (although a few shades I have are Derwent). amzn.to/2SVXXj1
That said, for bang-for-buck I have to hand it to Prismacolor. It is still a decent colored pencil and the price can't be beat. amzn.to/2YCy8YF

I've been drawing Celtic knots for 20 years now; I learned through your tutorials on your web site. I'm loving these videos--sometimes seeing it being done makes it even clearer! I do sometimes use a compass for my circles, but I'm getting good at freehanding them (I drew a bunch of marbles last year) so I may well give that part up soon. Looking forward to more, especially people and animals as I keep getting stuck on them no matter how many times I read through the tutorials.

That’s so wonderful to hear Janna! Definitely some animal tutorials in my list, but I have a “treat” announcement that should be ready in the new 2 weeks to share with everyone in the meantime. Stay tuned!
Lovely. Your directions are so clear and the examples are beautiful. Thanks
Asante sana for sharing this useful creative skills!

Amazing tutorial. Will definitely give it a try 😁

Bahaha. Heya Amy!
Thanks for the instruction! I really needed to start more simply. Some things were just going over my head. The more I practiced--the worse I got!

Hahaha. It must be like a “two steps forward…”. My problem is I go down the rabbit hole so deep that I go in circles. lol

@@AonCelticArt That's my problem, too! I read into things too much and make it harder than it really is. Of course! That stubborn Irish/Celt blood is running through the veins! Anyway, I'll get there. I use the designs I have learned for leather carving. Some of my pieces are starting to look good. Takes time and practice, practice, practice!

It does but I find once it “clicks” things fall into place quicker than you think. I used to teach a weekend workshop and a week long workshop, and by the end of two days already students had a good leap of progress. And for the week long one the college I taught it would do a mini gallery show for all the courses run and it was crazy to see from day 1 to day 5 to see the change. So it’s totally a practice thing. Fortunately it’s also addictive. So once you pop up for air from the rabbit hole you’ve probably made a ton of knots. Hahaha
Beautiful
Hi there, thank you SO much for the tutorial! Was really perfect for me. Is there some way I could show you my first attempts? I think you would enjoy seeing the results of your teaching. They're just done on A4 copy paper but I used good inks. There are 2 ....so far 😊
Thanks! Well explained tutorial! I’ve been trying to understand George Bain’s methods and I just wasn’t getting it.

Different things “click” for different people! That’s awesome!
Cari, what do you recommend for a good compass or compass set? I like to draw both freehand and with tools, but my compass set is small and kinda kiddie for my big, fat hands.

I have an old Staedtler one, and also one of those drafting circle template sheets where it has many circles all on the plastic sheet. I don’t use tools like that anymore (computer land usually now) but when I used to freehand everything that’s what I used. :) Lemme see if I can find some link examples…

One of the things that was handy about these ones was the top/bottom/left/right ticks around each circle. I found that super handy for noting where I wanted the tails to wind up to etc. Just easier for alignment so it was handy. :)

@@AonCelticArt In my research I found most people agree the Staedtler is the best all-around compass there is. I'll get one. Thanks!
