Sketched cup of tea with french mints. Used ink and touch of Gretacolor Aqua Brique made in Austria. It is watercolor in block form, looks like enlarged toy, but comfortable with water brush. Would be hard to carry around, but good at home. Drew my cat coasters we got in St Augustine, Florida, in that amazing Cat store.

Really like the sepia with the bits of color. I’m pretty much amazed by your quality sketching output in general, and it seems you are good at everything, whether it’s the chaos of the city with just the right amount of detail, a still life like this, or your capture of people and their poses and expressions. Really, really nice work overall.

Thank you very much, Rose, Eileen, Arqetancourt and Greyseal, I really appreciate your kind words.
@Rose. We had pretty intense training in russian art schools, I had to study sculpture, etching, technical drawing, restoration, even my major was painting.
@Eileen, so flattered.
@Arqetancourt, thanks a lot.
@greyseal, this cup of tea was for you, remember, we spoke about it in previous post?
