Yes, my week teaching in Sketchbook Skool Seeing is on again. So that means there will be lots of people sketching teacups (and other patterned objects of significance) over the coming week. I might have to join in a few times!
So today, as I wasn’t able to make it up to my local cafe for my morning latte, I sketched my morning cuppa to get my creative juices pumping for a big writing session on my Sketching Architecture book. Not much else to say about this sketch except for the fact that I did this mixing up watercolour pencils, paint and ink in a spontaneous way. And I choose this cup to drink from (and sketch) because my Cuppa Tea Time section has been a bit pink lately. As an aside: sorting all my old blog posts out is a massive job, but one that I am chipping away at a little every time I post…. so hopefully the tags in the new posts lead to old interesting stuff. I know that I have many more teacup sketches to add to my Cuppa Tea Time section, but at least the above link is a start!
Please let me know if you are doing my ‘klass’ this week… or if you just feel like sketching a teacup anyway and share a link to your sketch in the comment section.
Embrace the wonkiness!

I’m starting klass today and can’t wait!
yay! Jen! I hope you enjoy it!
Hi Liz. Loved watching the teacup sketching video! I am after one of those 3 legged chairs. Can you please tell me what brand yours is. I figure I will need to visit an outdoors store to buy one.
Fiona it is the ‘rolls royce’ edition Walk stool – the most comfortable stool I have sat it!
Thanks Liz. Would that be the Walkstool Comfort 45?
Teacup sketching video?
Carla – Fiona is referring to the video demo as part of the Sketchbook Skool course. Check out the last paragraph in this post for more about teacup videos in my classes.

I found the Walkstool Comfort 45 online, Liz, and have just ordered myself one. Walkstool Australia even offer free shipping within Australia! That’s nice 🙂
yes Fiona I have the 45! enjoy!
Is it appropriate to say “Pinch and punch for the first of the month and no returns?”
haven’t heard that expression for years!
Here’s a link to my teacup sketch I did this morning. I went right in with my fountain pen and added then added watercolour.

yay! lovely. thanks for sharing Cheryl
Klass starts for me today … or tomorrow … well … latest on Sunday, I’d say 🙂
and are you going to draw a teacup Stuart???
Sorting out your old blog posts- quite the job. What categories are you sorting to and why- to organize about what themes? I love some of your old posts, on color mixing, drawing, buildings, for example.
Great question Constance and I will answer it in a blog post soon (still trying to rationalise it myself) but in the mean time look at The sketching Tools section, the sketching architecture section and the archive section.
