Discover the Art of Coffee. A unique journey.
Explore the captivating world of coffee painting in my latest video, where I transform a simple canvas using an unexpected medium: coffee! This artistic technique is a delightful way to express creativity and provide inspiration for anyone interested in painting with unconventional materials.
**My Coffee Painting Journey:**
My creative journey with coffee painting began during the COVID lockdown. With acrylic paints running low, my artistic curiosity led me to experiment with various alternative materials—from onion skins to spinach, English tea to green tea. While each option had its charm, coffee painting quickly emerged as my favorite. The delightful aroma, rich hues, and glossy finish of coffee make it an ideal medium for artists.
Initially, I started my coffee painting adventure on watercolor paper, but I soon delved into more diverse surfaces like canvas and pottery plates! Once I immersed myself in the process, I couldn't stop exploring. Combining green tea with coffee allowed me to create vibrant variations, while the discovery of saffron introduced beautiful orange tones into my palette.
What’s fascinating about coffee painting is that different coffee varieties yield distinct shades. To achieve those deep, rich colors, it's crucial to start with a well-prepared thick mixture. This can either be done by boiling down your brewed coffee or, for an easier approach, by mixing instant coffee into a shot of espresso.
Stay tuned for my upcoming tutorial video that covers the basics of coffee painting. Join me in discovering the joys of this unique and creative art
