My lady squad and I took our art out-of-doors for tea painting in Joshua Tree, CA. Natalie @lesswastemoreadventure used our orange peels to make an organic rough edge. Maddie @folkdreams made a texture piece that represented the desert floor. I drew the organic peaks by layering the tea to make darker areas.

Brewed tea - I used expired Thai tea

Container for tea

Brushes

Watercolor paper
