Art Journal: "Stillness on the Lake" | Coffee Painting ☕🖌️

in #hive-1743012 days ago

Hello, dear art lovers! I hope this message finds you well and enjoying a lovely day. I'm excited to share my latest creation with you, made with coffee powder, and I genuinely would love to hear your thoughts on it.

I've named it "Stillness on the Lake." This piece captures a serene and peaceful scene of a lake, where the surface beautifully reflects the sky and the surrounding landscape. It aims to evoke feelings of tranquility, solitude, and the gentle beauty found in nature's quiet moments.

I used three types of painting brushes for this piece and it took me an hour to finish it. For those who are interested in trying 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 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 the thin details.

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