Illustration Friday: Tea




Here is my entry for Illustration Friday's topic Tea. This is an illustration I did last year called African Safari in oils. It is an illustration of red rooibos tea from africa. I played off of the safari theme and added animals in the steam from the tea. I created an african motif in the background and textured ground with layering of varnishes. Enjoy!

now this is great! Everything yells "LOOK AT ME" Love the colors and how the back ground moves with the pic. Alomost as if your tea was having a party with itself. Great Job!
