Art Journal: "Fading Horizon and Still Waters" β˜•πŸ–ŒοΈ

in Sketchbook β€’ 3 days ago

Hello, Hiver friends and fellow art lovers! How are you all doing? I hope you're having a wonderful day. This is the new coffee art I just created today.

This coffee painting captures distant mountains fading into the hazy horizon and a sentinel tree on the top of the hill, standing over the calm water. To have life I put birds gliding across the serene sky. The water reflects the soothing surface adding beauty to the scene.

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:
πŸ‘‰ Watercolor Paper, sketching Paper, or stretched canvas
πŸ‘‰ Pencil and Eraser
πŸ‘‰ Coffee Powder
πŸ‘‰ 2 small cups ( lighter and darker shades)
πŸ‘‰ Ruler
πŸ‘‰ Clean Water
πŸ‘‰ Rag
πŸ‘‰ Paper napkin or paper towel

Brushes:
πŸ‘‰ Flat Brush /small #10, 10/32 / 8.0mm
πŸ‘‰ Liner Brush #2 / 2/32" / 1.6mm

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.

Painting Process:
