Hello, Hiver friends and fellow art lovers! A blissful Sday to everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I want to share the new coffee painting I created today.

In this post, I painted a fascinating landscape, There's a unique beauty as you step into a deep forest. The earthly tones of coffee can create a soft mist and dreamy atmosphere, and the flow of the cascading water brings a peaceful retreat. We always find calmness and restfulness in the natural beauty of the forest.
I used three painting brushes to complete this piece, which took me an hour. For those interested in trying this unique medium, follow the step-by-step basic methods below.

Materials Needed:
šŸ‘‰ Watercolor Paper, sketching Paper, or stretched canvas
šŸ‘‰ Pencil and Eraser
šŸ‘‰ Coffee Powder
šŸ‘‰ 2 small cups ( lighter and darker shades)
šŸ‘‰ Ruler

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

Basic Procedure:
• Outline or sketch your painting reference.
• Paint using a lighter background shade by creating a beautiful texture.
• On the middle ground, paint the first layer of the subject.
• The same procedure as the foreground.
• Once the first layer is completely dry, you can proceed to paint with a darker shade of coffee.
• 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:

Greetings,
The cascading water must look so serene in those sepia shades. Your step-by-step guide is really helpful too. Do you find that the coffee gives you more control over the transparency compared to traditional paints?
