Variation of an Antique Teapot

My grandmother's writing desk has been converted into my drawing desk. I have a cubby for my pencils, one for my Moleskine drawing journals, drawers for erasers and clips. It's a perfect little desk to inspire me to draw every day.



I call this one a Baroque Teapot. It was created with watercolor and a collage of newspaper print and a pen and ink cherub's.

My Grandmothers Teapot is a traditional watercolor.
Batik Teapot is a watercolor and I used an East Indian wood block to create the background.
The painting below is a watercolor painted on Yuppo paper

    A very nice cubby, Faern, I'd like to own one like that. Perhaps I could have more ideas for my watercolour. Really I never know what to do!

    I like the variations, very creative. The pot with the wood block background is my favorite.

    I bet that's inspiring to sit down at Grandma's desk to do your artwork. Several years ago at my school, I asked if I could have this traditional old wooden teacher's desk that I happened to see in the storage building. Nobody wanted it because the finish was a little roughed up and the desktop was really rough (but the janitor sanded it for me...) I've had it for 10 years now, and even made them move it when I switched buildings! It inspires me every day. :) So I know you're enjoying your art desk! Love your artwork too!
