It's Paint Party Friday!!

Happy Friday!
and I've missed you on Tea Tuesday
as I was attending to a little computer glitch on my computer..
well, the little glitch is now a lot "bigger" and it looks like I'll have to get it down to the service centre..

anyways....

I have a couple more outdoor sketches to share, and here they are...

Sketchbook

I've been sketching the past week in my journal..

and after which do a color wash with water colors over the sketch..

I finally bought myself a fountain pen (cheap one to start off with)

and a bottle of permanent ink..

Tea house in Lijiang, Yunnan, China
ink sketch and watercolor

Sketching brought a whole lot of a different experience altogether
especially when there is a preference for ink sketching...

Lotus flowers
ink sketch and watercolor

and I had to pluck up courage to sketch in a public place....

a day out at the library...

ink sketches


I'm taking in the lessons learnt through this process..
a way of seeing...
and lots of patience and committing oneself to the whole process..

Thanks for coming by..... :))

Quiet time...and tea...

I love to park myself at a quiet spot with a cuppa, my journal and my IPOD..

and that was what I did last Thursday

when I started my little break from work..

my favorite spot is a cafe in a bookshop downtown..

I ordered a mushroom bruchetta

and English breakfast tea....

I appreciate quiet moments like this, alone...

watching others...

and sometimes chatting with someone friendly...

and then 

 I proceeded to the Art supplies store upstairs..

(unfortunately I didn't take any photos)

and bought some art materials to experiment..

I was happiest...

what are you having for tea today?

hop, skip and jump over to Kimmie's for a list of tea adventurers...

take care!
