Hang in there

Last week I forgot to pack the snow pics I had taken for my Wednesday group. Luckily I found one of the tea cup set ups so the morning wasn't a waste.  Then I forgot to post the small painting. Probably because I really didn't like the results. I can't paint the detail that the delicate tea cups require on paper this rough. I know it is suppose to be cold press but it seems a bit rough for that finish. Anyway enough excuses this is my final go at the teacups for now. The first photo is where I ended on Wednesday. When I got home I decided to put in a neutral background. Then I went darker and the second photo was the end result.
