Art Journal: "The Stillness of Winter" With Coffee Painting ☕🖌️

Hello, dear friends and fellow art enthusiasts! I hope you’re all doing well and making the most of your day. Today, I'm excited to share my latest piece of coffee art with you, and I urge you to take a moment to check it out and share your insights!

"The Stillness of Winter" captures a serene winter scene, focusing on the quietude and stillness of the season. It features a snow-covered landscape, frozen trees, or perhaps a solitary figure, all aiming to evoke a sense of peace and contemplation.

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 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.
