Hello, Hiver friends and fellow art lovers! How are you all doing? I hope you make the most of your day. Let me share the new coffee art I just completed today.
This coffee painting captures a serene moment as sunset descends upon a calm lake, with a spreading tree framing the composition. I painted a distant small boat carrying two figures gliding across the water. The sepia tones create a dreamlike quality. I hope you like this post.
I used three painting brushes for this piece, which took me an hour to finish. For those interested in trying this unique medium, follow the step-by-step basic methods below.
Materials Needed:
π Watercolor Paper, sketching Paper, or stretched canvas
π Pencil and Eraser
π Coffee Powder
π 2 small cups ( lighter and darker shades)
π Ruler
π Clean Water
π Rag
π Paper napkin or paper towel
Brushes:
π Flat Brush /small #10, 10/32 / 8.0mm
π Liner Brush #2 / 2/32" / 1.6mm
π Filbert brush
Note: Keep all the materials ready before you start painting.
Basic Procedure:
β’ Outline or sketch your painting reference.
β’ Paint using a lighter background shade by creating a beautiful texture.
β’ On the middle ground, paint the first layer of the subject.
β’ The same procedure as the foreground.
β’ Once the first layer is completely dry, you can proceed to paint with a darker shade of coffee.
β’ Then add details to bring your painting to life. I used a liner brush for the thin details.
Take note: In putting details, you cannot have sharp lines and shapes unless it is completely dry.
