While the quarantine has put some restrictions, it has also opened up some blessings – the time flexibility, for instance, to make an elaborate, almost ceremonial tea for mt myself every morning! The recipe is very simple but it certainly is a soul soother amidst all the home schooling.
I have made a complete materials list (with some affiliate links) for you.
Materials:
· Castell® 9000 Graphite Pencil Design Set – Tin of 12 – #119064
· Goldfaber Aqua Watercolor Pencils – Tin of 48 – #114648
· Goldfaber Color Pencils – Tin of 48 – #214748
· Kneadable Art Eraser – Assorted Colors – #127321
· Deluxe Water Brush – #770306
· Creativity for Kids Connector Watercolor Set
Let’s start by looking at the ingredients.
Start with a light sketch of the ingredients using the Castell 9000 pencil 2B on watercolor paper. Nothing needs to be an exact copy of the actual object. It’s more fun to draw them in your own style.
Start coloring the elements with the Goldfaber Aqua Watercolor Pencils.
Blend the colors with a deluxe water brush.
TIP: This water brush is particularly helpful because there’s no spill risk when you are sharing table space with others as I am right now.
Dip your waterbrush in the Connector Paint of your choice and brush letter your recipe title.
Once the colors are all dry, write the ingredient list and the recipe itself with a Goldfaber Color pencil to finish.
I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial as much as I enjoyed creating it. Stay well and stay creative!
