Quick coffee break, 5 minute sketch!

When I was at Art College I could do a pretty decent sketch in no time at all, no pencil or rubber required. I’d just crack on with a pen or paint brush. This is a skill that can be learnt and lost, and I am going to make myself learn it again through doing a quick sketch during my afternoon coffee break.

So this is my 5 minute sketch which I completed during my coffee break today! In keeping with my last post, this time I sketched my coffee mug (from a picture on my phone, rather than the actual mug in front of me, not sure why!).

Coffee makes you live longer...

Last week, a psychology student told me that sleeping five hours per night is ideal and that anything more is unhealthy. Then someone else told me that they only sleep 5 hours per night and never feel tired as they drink so much coffee. As someone who needs at least 8 or 9 hours to feel human, I decided to test this theory and hope that my new longer days give me the chance to be more productive...

So today I bought a cafetiere and some strong ground coffee, as well as very pretty cup from Laura Ashley which happened to have 25% off. Here's to a longer life and caffeine shakes!
