Draw something hot.......

Everyday in May 4

The prompt today was draw a bottle/ jar of herbs or spices, but rules are meant to be broken/bent a little, aren't they?
I've been looking for an excuse to draw this Indian spice box for many years. As tomorrow is draw something hot, it has the dried chilli peppers.... I'll be painting them if I have time.

A nearby tree, well bamboo, an extremely tall grass. I wanted to sketch a nearby papaya tree but had to finish this today, ready for a charity fundraiser for Nepal tonight. Apologies for the photo from my phone, A3 size on watercolour paper.
