Hello, Hiver friends and fellow art lovers; I hope this message finds you well and that you’re enjoying a peaceful Sunday.
The beauty of this coffee painting truly unfolds like a gentle whisper. At first, it may seem like a simple scene: a solitary bird resting on a bare branch, framed by the soft glow of a moon. But when you allow yourself to look a little closer, the intricate details begin to emerge—the delicate, almost tender lines of the branches, the nuanced shading of the bird, and the gentle texture of the moon. It’s moments like these that remind us of the quiet wonders in life, and I hope you find joy in the intricacies of art today.
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 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 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.
