Day 76: A Theme on a Rose

It is fashionable today to use vintage china in cafes. Some match their cups and saucers and some don't. The result is often very charming...sometimes it is not.

Today I took a piece of a rose pattern on my cup - and ignored the brown mismatched saucer - and completed a challenge from a friend's art book.

In the exercise, you are challenged to paint part of the piece with your eyes shut. Yikes ... I was not comfortable with that at all and I won't be repeating it often. It does, however, force you to trust yourself a little and visualise your brush on the paper.

Medium: Winsor and Newton Watercolours on Stathmore Watercolour paper

Time to complete: 40 minutes
