It was chilly today, just right for a cup of pumpkin-spice tea. I could tell — painfully — that I had not been sketching since early October when I set about sketching this teacup. Click on image for larger view.
The shape of the cup is not round but isn’t quite as square as my rendition would make you think, and the saucer, while not round, does not mimic the cup. The background color is very white, and just two colors of green decorate the clover with a final touch of gold trim for the lip, handle and saucer edge. You can revisit what the teacup really looks like here. The tea was a nice reward for my efforts.
The last sketch I did occurred when I was in Ashland, Oregon, attending the Shakespeare Festival. There was a charming house across the street from our hotel having its roof replaced. I couldn’t resist sitting down with my traveling art supplies to record this.
This is a white house with the exception of the green trim on the windows and the brown of the roof.
I’m looking forward to each successive sketch being easier! What are you hoping will be easier this year?
