Blue Tea Cup

I arrived at the Kawartha Artists’ Gallery and Studio a little late for the beginning of the Still Life class and had to wait until break to set up my table so I could draw some of the collection of cups, glasses and goblets.

I chose a blue Oriental tea cup with a white bamboo pattern running up the length of the cup.

The inside of the up was white with the bamboo pattern repeated in blue.

What I liked about this particular piece was the way the gold colour of the satin tablecloth was reflected at the base of the cup and part way up the side, changing the colour.

I may do this as a painting at a later date.
