For Sunday Sketches, I did this Antique Chinese shelf on cardstock (4 1/2" x 6 1/2") using my sketch markers. I got the idea when I was at a Chinese dim sum lunch recently and saw these shelves on display in the restaurant, storing these cute teapots. They wouldn't be more than 2 feet by 4 feet in size. Needless to say, I was trying to think of what I should paint next and was happy for the inspiration.

That is lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch and the shelves are gorgeous. Hugs, Valerie

I have always enjoyed the simplicity of oriental art. This is quite relaxing and the thought of tea sent me right to my kitchen. Lovely painting Christine ...
