Art Journal: "Sunset Serenade in Coffee" β˜•πŸ–ŒοΈ

in OnChainArt β€’ yesterday (edited)

Greetings, Hiver friends and fellow art enthusiasts! I hope you have a fantastic weekend, Today, I am excited to present my latest coffee art creation!

The rich, earthy tones of the coffee grounds command attention, creating a unique texture and depth that infuses the scene with warmth and intimacy. The setting sun, a radiant orb in the distance, serves as the painting's focal point; its soft glow contrasts strikingly with the darker hues of the surrounding trees and fields. Falling leaves, resembling tiny brown specks, evoke a sense of gentle movement and illustrate the passage of time. The simple fence line adds a touch of rustic charm, completing this evocative and peaceful scene.

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.

That's cool work. Really extreme tonal palette considering you have one colour. I enjoyed taking a look.
