The painting was created as a product illustration. The actual product as well as supporting props had to be pictured. I chose a brand of tea known for the unique henna patterns on the boxes. The supporting props were a Japanese teapot and matching cup I had made in an earlier ceramics class. The style was similar to watercolor painting; created by building up layers of paint with small accents of supporting colors intermixed through the layers. For example, rather than a flat
grey, blue and brown were mixed in to give the shapes and shadows depth.

This project was created as part of a school project.
