Art Journal: Sunlit Lake / Original Coffee Painting βποΈ
Greetings, fellow art enthusiasts! I hope you're all enjoying a wonderful day. Today, I painted another original piece of art using coffee powder as my medium. I encourage you to take a look and share your thoughts!
This piece of art features a sunlit lake where two twisted trees stand by the calm water. The setting sun radiates its gentle glow across the surfaces ofthe lake.
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:
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.
