I'm Late for Tea!

"Tea" was last week's Illustration Friday theme. I like using a black gel pen, sorta looks like pen and ink, and then watercolors. I also like the bit of calligraphy as an added touch, could this be a signature style?! I need to do this everyday. It is both satisfying & relaxing. An added plus would be some improvement in technique over time! It's really not quite this muddy looking though. Scanners don't ignore the wrinkles that are left after watercoloring in a cheap sketchbook. I did a lot of digital erasing in Paint Shop Pro. ;) Click image for a larger view.

Delightful. This is one of my favourite nursery songs, too. And as a dedicated tea lover who eschews the teabag, my teapot is my best friend. This is my first visit to your delightful blog ... I'll be back!
