I don't have the 365 book with me right now, so I don't remember the exact wording of today's challenge, but it involves working with tea somehow - either using tea itself, the bag, the grounds, etc. I've painted with water that was heavily steeped with tea, so I decided to try something new. After drinking a couple cups of tea, I opened up my teabag to make something with the grounds. Here's my project:
In addition to sketching trees a lot, I sketch a lot of faces in profile. This project didn't take long at all. I like the gritty quality of the used up tea leaves and think they are a pretty cool medium. I ran out of room to finish the head and make hair, but that would be super cool! To move around the grounds on the plate, I just used my fingers and a butter knife.
