A very girly morning tea with sketching friends at home. An excellent excuse to buy flowers for the house, play some classical music, use grandma's fine bone china tea cups and eat sweet pastries.
I warmed up the day before by sketching this tea cup from my grandmother.
The pastries we forgot to paint (but didn't forget to eat)
Sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd your teacup is perfect!!xx
Thanks Jennie - it all felt very civilised (far moreso than the usual circus in our home!) and was a very nice setting to paint in. A stark contrast in environment to the Luna Park outing the week before - although still loads of colour all about.
DeleteWhat beautiful things to sketch and paint, beautiful flowers and teacups. Your work is gorgeous as usual. Those pastries look good too.

Thank you Anne! Looking forward to trying it again another day with a different theme. It was good to have other sketchers to my place, nice to be able to share that same interest with others.
DeleteHello Chantal, we met at the ABCD meet up and I am wondering if you could contact me about a local art exhibition I am putting together.

DeleteYou remind me of Liz Steel with your beautiful cup of tea :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog Emily. Liz joined the tea party - that's her cup second from the left! By coincidence I had recently purchased your book online and it arrived today. Such a beautiful production! I love it.
DeleteNice story, drawings, and blog. Loved your oper house drawing.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for visiting my blog and your kind comment Steven. I'm glad you like the stories too. The opera house is quite an interesting structure to draw - many lines in unexpected places! But once the ink is down the rest is good to play with.
