Art Journal: Gum Tree Coffee Painting ☕🖌️

Greetings Hiver friends, How are you doing? A blissful day to everyone! Welcome to another exciting art I created today. Let me share with you the latest piece of art I have created today. I painted a lovely gum tree using coffee powder.

Painting gum trees can be a remarkable subject for artists because of their Uncommon and unique shape. Gum trees can express also a variety of vibrant colors, especially during certain seasons.

I used three types of painting brushes for this art. It took me forty-nine minutes to finish this artwork.
For those who want to try to paint using this unique medium, you can follow the basic methods below.

Materials Needed:
👉 Watercolor Paper or sketching Paper
👉 Pencil and Eraser
👉 Coffee Powder
👉 2 small cups ( lighter and darker shades)
👉 Ruler
👉 Clean Water
👉 Rag
👉 Paper napkin or paper towel

Brushes:
👉 Flat Brush /small #10, 10/32 / 8.0mm
👉 Liner Brush #2 / 2/32" / 1.6mm
👉 Filbert brush
Note: Keep all the materials ready before you start painting.

Basic Procedure:
• Outline or sketch of your painting reference.
• Paint using a lighter shade of the background by creating a beautiful texture.
• On the middle ground, paint the first layer of the subject.
• The same procedure with the foreground.
• Once the first layer is completely dry, you can proceed to paint with a darker shade of coffee.
• Then add details to come alive of your painting. I used a liner brush for thin details.

Take note: In putting details, you cannot have sharp lines and shapes unless it is completely dry.
