This week I filmed sketching a cup of tea!
Very quick, unfinished, but complete.
I sketch my tea and coffee all the time. It becomes easier with practice as the are so many ellipses’ involved.
Teabags I have sketched

A link to sketching a coffee step by step
Happy sketching !

Alissa, I absolutely love these. A while ago I made a tiny book of paintings I did of coffee cups and actually sold it, the one and only thing I’ve sold! If you’d like to see it, it’s here on flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/sarah_oettli/albums/72157718763813872/
I want to do tea bags now.
Your sketchbook is delightful Sarah and SO tiny! Each coffee tells a story The exhibtion looks lovely. I am sorry that we did not get to catch up when I was in Auckland for Urban Sketching Symposium back in 2023 !
