More Tea (?)



coloured pencil/30x20cm

Persevering with the coloured pencils, but today's drawing moves into the realm of the still life & a return to the exploration of representing the world of actual objects in space, an enduring artistic itch that is never far from requiring scratching, a thread running through the history of the blog & much further back in time & practice. The subject/object matter represented is a favourite Japanese tea set, previously studied in both graphite & watercolour, as featured here at TOoT in the October (September) 2007 archives, this particular drawing being commissioned for an 'occasional' presentation but also serving as something of a prototype for an intended series of tea-themed work with commercial possibilities in mind via Etsy, in a joint venture with A: more news as & when.
