    Hey Paul! Really enjoy your work and style. This one reminds me of a teacher i once had. A good one, which I guess is rare!

    Keep drawing. Love to see more.

    Let me guess.. you were drawing the goat in your kitchen and he knocked the tea pot over !

    Its getting so bad.. I knocked a cup of coffee over this morning and spent 10 minutes studying its artistic possibilities. I’m feeling a tea stain inspired work coming on !

    Does it have to be any particular tea ?

  • Paul Compton

    Paul Compton in reply to Andy Mercer’s comment, 2 months ago

    Not decaffeinated. I like a nice Earl Grey or Chai but the choice is yours.

    tea drawing… as in painting with tea??? confused

  • Paul Compton

    Paul Compton in reply to mindylynn’s comment, 2 months ago

    I’m sorry I confused you. The eyes, tone around the head and splashes were made with tea and applied with a brush.

  • mindylynn

    mindylynn, 2 months ago

    so… i could paint with tea! =] have you heard of the guy who does ‘puke paintings’? they’re really gross, but its kinda cool how he has a gallery and people buy his art…

  • Paul Compton

    Paul Compton in reply to mindylynn’s comment, 2 months ago

    No, I’ve never heard of the “puke guy” – but I know I’ll never be inviting him over for dinner : )
