©2010 Carolyn A. Pappas, Teapot on Trivet. Graphite and watersoluble colored pencil, apx 6 x 8 inches.
With this drawing I was mainly testing out how graphite and watersoluble colored pencils look together. I think I like the combination because it has some bright color but also has the monotone of the graphite that I enjoy. I will try it out in some other drawings to see if I still want to work in it further. I’ve drawn the teapot a few other times as you can see here and here, but I wanted to draw the trivet the most. I admire it quite a bit, but isn’t mine and I wanted to remember what it looked like. I did this on bristol board and only used a tiny bit of water on the color parts because I didn’t want the paper to warp too much.
