“Chai Tea” painted with natural tea stains. Original design. (available in archival prints)

This is something new I have been experimenting with -the natural colors of tea in painting! So I designed a series of my own tea box designs and painted them with natural stains. I always enjoy nature and natural things, so for me this was an exciting method to paint. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a satisfactory green with tea and had to substitute some watercolor, but the yellows and reds are all natural. And they smell good too!!
