Okay, I work in waves and the last 6 months my regular work has been insane.  Finally picked up the brushes, here’s what I have so far.

Stage one – setting up a still life and laying it in.  For this I’ve chosen to do a matcha bowl, can, and bamboo tea whisk and spoon.

I let that dry a week. No, it didn’t take a week to dry, I just couldn’t get back to it for a week.  This is where I ended up after about 4 hours last night…

I’ve got to figure out what to do with that boring background, I’ll figure something out.
