Prepare for the Day Ahead

watercolour & ink


I sketched my coffee pot or caffettiera for Illustration Friday.  The word was prepare and the best way to prepare for the day is a nice coffee in the morning?

Cathy,

There is no better way (from my point of view) to start the day than with a cup of coffee and a sketch.

Very nice,

Oh yes, a nice cup of coffee and quiet sunshine. Beautiful colors.

Love how you handled the reflective surface of the espresso pot.

Sadly, I'm no longer able to drink coffee but I can handle the caffeine in tea. Love the coffee pot with the beautiful reflections.

I start my day with coffee. Today however I started it with my three year old first. I learned a valuable lesson, no kids before coffee o'clock. Great sketch, thanks for sharing.

Hey! I have that same pot! I'll have to find it so I can sketch it too. Love your rendition.
My day never starts without coffee.
