My teabag art for today was inspired by a photo we took in Florence Italy of clothes on the line

My teabag art for today inspired by a photo we took in Florence of a house with a very short clothes line with a few pieces of clothing hanging outside the window and I remember thinking WOW, that wouldn't be very helpful, LOL!  This was an unused teabag primed with clear gesso and painted with watercolor and gouache.  Details added with black permanent ink and prisma watercolor pencils.

My teabag art for today is the Statue of David In Florence, Italy

My teabag art for the day.  David is a masterpiece of Renaissance Sculpture created in marble between 1501 and 1504 by Italian artist Michelangelo.  david is 5.17 metre (17 ft) marble statue of a standing male nude.  The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favored subject in the art of Florence.

I'll have to say that I didn't realize it was so tall, but the detail is unbelievable right down to the veins, muscle, bone structure and fingernails.  This used teabag was primed with white gesso and painted with gouache.  Details added with black permanent ink pen.

My teabag art for the day is the Ponte Vecchio in Florence Italy

My teabag art for the day:  The Ponte Vecchio is a medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common.  

Boy what shops it has!  There is so much jewelry on display it makes your head spin.  I love this place!  This was painted on a used teabag with a gessoed background and painted with gouache - a black permanent ink pen was used for the details.
