Gun

This is a gun and some roses that I did for my mentor.  I  gave it to her after she finished my tattoo and she loved it.  She has a fascination with guns, haha.  First I penciled this drawing, and then I painted it.  I wanted it to look old, so I took a tea bag and seeped it in a little bit of hot water and painted the background with it.  I painted the leaves of the roses with green tea, and the roses with this weird berry tea in my kitchen.  I painted the gun with some black tea.  I also used grey water color paint with some of the tea to make shadows.  I don't usually paint with tea, (well actually, I've never done that before) but I was feeling experimental.  I really liked how this one turned out.
