Description
I was inspired from vintage art posters and Art Nouveau when I created this. I love sweet tea and wanted to create a drawing reflecting that with vibrant colors. For those who do not know about sweet tea, it is a popular southern drink of brewed black tea, which is then chilled in the fridge or has ice added to make it a drink cold. People usually like sweet tea with lemon and sugar added, hence the name "Sweet tea". It is also known as iced tea. There is also unsweet tea for those who are watching their sugar intake.This was created with watercolor paint, gouache paint, color pencils, and ink on smooth white bristol paper.

Nice! Definitely catches the eye and quenches its thirst.

I would buy some if this was hanging in a storefront window !!! ... p.s. my hunger and/or thirst is rarely influenced by artwork .

Well, I used to have some art prints for sale back when I was trying to get into the art print business. Maybe I'll need to give it another go sometime. Glad you like it so much. ^-^

I realy love the style in this one. 
The fluid and font have some nice flow to it and the colors work well.
There are only 2 things that look a bit weird to me... 
All in one: Great work.

Thank you for the kind comments. If I redid this picture, I would try a different technique to make the tea itself look more transparent but I used color pencils over the watercolor wash. Watercolor by itself would have probably made it look less opaque. I see your point about the straw.
But despite the faults, I am glad that you still like this piece. It is one of my personal favorites. ^-^
