Wow, great! I wish I had a tea strainer like that! Is it made of wood? Your drawings are absolutely stunning. I also like the shadow in the first one a lot!
Now that is a tea strainer! Two lovely delicate drawings of a beautiful object. Is the top one watercolour over pencil? How do you do this without is looking a little grubby? That's what happens whenever I try it, anyway!
Not only are your sketches fabulous--really, really fabulous--but you also come up with the most unusual objects, most of which I have never seen! I'm loving it!
it's gorgeous!!! I have never seen tea strainers like that but I am sure they work really well, and they definitely look really sturdy too. :) Beautiful lines and colors, I can't get over admiring the details. Another realistic masterpiece!
Thanks for you kind comments about the tea strainer.Sadly, it's not mine but was brought back from Bhutan by a friend. It is bamboo and was quite large, about 140cm in diameter. They must have really big cups out there. I painted the top one with acrylic, as I was using the paint at the time.(and Sarah..it did start to look grubby but I added some acrylic mixed with a glaze medium, which brightened it-then decided to stop) To be honest, it was easier (and quicker) to paint than a straight forward drawing.Wish I could have kept it for longer to do an inside view....
