Art Journal: "Journey Through the Misty Forest" ☕🖌️
Hello, Hiver friends and fellow art enthusiasts! How are you doing? I hope you're making the most of your day.
Just wanted to share my latest art piece made of coffee.
I love experimenting with different kinds of art stuff, like watercolour, acrylic painting, but coffee just seemed like a unique art form. It can create detailed portraits, landscapes, and abstracts.
This painting captures peaceful moments, surrounded by the serene beauty of the misty forest. The pleasant, earthy tones of the coffee stir up feelings of peace and comfort. The light and shadows create a sense of mystery.
What do you think of my coffee painting? Let me know your comments!
I used three painting brushes for this piece, and it took me an hour to finish it. For those interested in trying this unique medium, follow the step-by-step basic methods below.
Materials Needed:
👉 Watercolor Paper, sketching Paper, or stretched canvas
👉 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 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 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.
