Art Journal: "Peaceful Evening Calm" ☕🖌️

Hello, dear Hiver friends and fellow art lovers! Today, I proudly present my latest coffee art creation!
This coffee painting vividly captures the serene beauty of a sunset over a tranquil lake. The warm, earthy tones of the coffee establish a rich and inviting atmosphere. Through careful shading and blending, I bring depth and dimension to the scene. The silhouettes of trees against the setting sun convey a profound sense of peace and tranquility. Additionally, the subtle details, including the birds in flight, infuse the composition with movement and life. The overall effect evokes quiet contemplation and showcases the splendor of nature. With its unique texture and rich, warm hues, this painting stands out as a truly captivating piece of art.
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 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.
