Drawing challenge #45: TEATIME

First: the preparation.


Boiling water, black teas, herbal- and fruittea.

The ceremony for the japan macha follows.




Add 70°C hot water with stirring.





Secondly: the painting.
Its a nice tea colour scale I've painted in watercolours.


Then I cut it out and 
lay down on canvas which I've coloured with pigment of 'Russian green'.


Thirdly: 5 o'clock... TEATIME!
 + one coffee and some sandwiches and scones


Have you located your cup?







 Oh, you miss a green teaflower ? - Here you are:






 Be careful, its hot!



For this week's drawing challenge
I receive as guests this blend of lovely Ladies... wish it were real...

 Jasmin 
Hagar
and
and
Ritva!


Please enjoy their fabulous places for TEATIME.

  1. mmmm....
    lovely
    I can smell the different scents of tea
    mmmm....

    I like your drawing
    and the soft watercolors
    the round table setting
    which reminds me a bit
    of my breakfast setting
    oh, how lovely it would be
    to actually sit together
    chatting and drinking tea
    ....
    I would love that

    xx

    1. You're right, dear Patrice
      the round table setting! Of course...
      And for 'breakfast' I've painted with cocoa and coffee... and now with different teas.

      I would love to sit together with you and the other ladies! No matter what drink.

      xx Ariane.

    1. Dear Nadeschda,
      tiny WOOLF,
      have you found your green earl grey and a dash of fennel? (close to the sugar and honey)

      Looking forward for your teatime.

      Love
      Ariane.

  10. I know I keep repeating myself, but you are such an artist, my friend! If I were you I'd frame that tea table and set it on the kitchen wall to look at every time I had tea! :)

    A delightful prelude!

    Who will be our next host? Do I have this right, you dear Rachel? or you, dear Demie?

  15. Ariane,
    I am happy to host, unless of course Demi wants to go ahead of me! That is fine too.
    Yes, Miss Greta has been too busy playing ( and saying farewell to friends) to get to her teatime. I'll put a little fire under her today.

    I'll wait to hear from Demi as to whether or not she'd like to host this week.
    I have a theme up my sleeve for this week or next.

    Love...
    Rachel
