Yesterday I decided to be experimental, and since I had some coffee leftover, I thought I’d paint “watercolor”, in coffee. This happens to be one of my favorite farms around the area we are now living. I love the fence meandering thru the hills. I wish I could visit, and take pictures within it as well, but I don’t think it’s open to the public.
After fiddling around with it for about an hour or so, I figured out that the coffee was not giving me the contrast I needed for a monochromatic piece. I then picked a dark sepia colored pencil, and worked thru part of today to finish it. I still intend to do another place tonight, but this is yesterday’s posting– belated.
I’m happy with the piece as a whole. I enjoyed restricting myself to one color. And although the experiment didn’t work, I’m still glad I tried.
Has anyone worked with coffee before? I have some seen some great things, but could not reproduce the same results. Any ideas?
You want one or two sugars with that drawing? What fun you are having.
P.S. Not presumptuous at all
