Gourd and tea cups

A few days ago, a friend gave me a gourd that had survived since Halloween, and a few pretty tea cups.

So, here they are, immortalised. I have the feeling I will sketch a few more versions. This was so much more fun than my current attempts at watercolour painting!

Here is the original pen drawing (no pencil, no thinking).

And with watercolour and pencil. I like how the pencil brightened up dull areas. I got a set of Kooh-i-noor pencils for Christmas, and I get the feeling they're going to be part of my standard set! They are so much fun to play with!
