Gaiwan


My friend Tara gave me this gaiwan for my birthday. I wanted to try sketching it because it's beautiful, but also because it held two great drawing challenges, a white object with reflected light, and the dreaded elliptical. The challenges were dizzying. I might go back into it to get some darker darks, but it's hard to know when to keep trying and when to just stop.

Anne, how long did you spend to get this done?

It's hard to say for sure because I tend to draw for a bit, take a break, then come back to it. I think it took a little over two hours altogether.
