Hello, Hiver friends and fellow art enthusiasts! I hope you’re all doing well. I’m excited to share my latest artwork.
This coffee painting captures a serene moment. A lone sailboat confidently glides across a calm sea as the sun sets, casting a warm, golden glow on the water. The muted tones and soft brushstrokes establish a peaceful atmosphere that is impossible to ignore. Branches, laden with delicate buds, stretch across the upper portion of the painting, infusing the scene with nature's elegance. The overall effect radiates serenity and invites contemplation, urging the viewer to pause and appreciate the inherent beauty of the natural world. Subtle details, like the distant birds, further amplify the tranquil mood. This piece speaks to the soul—it’s a powerful reminder to seek moments of peace in our everyday lives.
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.
