My teabag art for today was inspired by Sue Kemnitz art

My last teabag for about a month - we leave tonight for the UK with our two mothers!  I decided I didn't want the pressure of having to do one everyday while we are away.  I'll just try to do some paintings in my travel art journal.  This was an unused teabag primed with clear gesso and painted with watercolor and gouache.  Details added with black ink pen and prisma watercolor pencils.  This was inspired by the art of Sue Kemnitz.

My teabag art for today.

My teabag art for today is a mixed media piece.  This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso.  The background was done with watered down dylusions paints and then I tore out a strip and a circle from an old gelli print and drew and cut out some hearts and sewed them on with my sewing machine.  I added bits of crochet yarn and cheesecloth.  I also did some doodling in the background with black ink and white posca pen.

My teabag art for today. This was just from my imagination

My teabag art for the day.  This is just from my imagination (that's supposed to be bougainvillea).  This was an unused teabag primed with clear gesso and painted with watercolor and gouache.  It looks like it's falling down! Oh Well.

My teabag art for yesterday. My reference photo was one I took while in Vietnam


My teabag art for today was inspired by a photo we took in Vietnam (I actually bought one of their mats when there, back in Australia when asked did you buy anything wooden or any kind of mat or straw so we said yes.  Then they inspected it they just banged it on the counter and all of these bugs fell out so needless to say we didn't get to keep it - it was destroyed)  This was an unused teabag primed with clear gesso and painted with watercolor and gouache.  Details added with black ink pen and prisma watercolor pencils.

My teabag art for today. This is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Dell'Asunta on the island of Torcello, Venice, Italy

My teabag art for today is of the Cathedral of Santa maria Dell'Asunta on the island of Torcello in Venice, Italy.  We visited there but for some reason I did not have a full view photo of it so used a reference photo from a search.  This was an unused teabag primed with clear gesso and painted with gouache.  Details added with black ink pen.

My teabag art for Yesterday.

My teabag art for today is the saxophone.  This was an unused teabag primed with clear gesso.  The basecoat was watercolor and gouache and then colored with Polychromo pencils.  I did a bit of stamping on the left and I made a music note out of wire and attached it to the left side of the teabag.
