Tea Stain #4 (self portrait)

This time I used a berry tea.  Wet, it was red.  When the stains dried, they dried a dark blue.  Then they darkened into a darker violet.  Scanning the drawing doesn't capture the color, but the subtlety still gives it a nice look, I think.  I'll keep playing with other teas.

Tea Stain #1

On a strip of sketch paper, I rested a tea bag for only a moment and let it dry over night.  The following morning I drew with pencil the face, people, and planets.

The tea?  Tension Tamer.
