COFFEE

PAINTING
Coffee painting is an extremely
easy and enjoyable process of
expressing your creativity on
paper. This type of art may be
monochromatic, which involves
working with only one color, but
its potential for art is limitless.
To do coffee painting, you only need five
materials:
First is pure black instant coffee.
Next is water in plastic cups.
Third is watercolor paper. You can find these in most school
supplies stores. If you can’t find any, oslo paper or sketch pad
paper will do.
You will also need paintbrushes. As a start, use a flat brush and
round tip brush.
And lastly, you’ll need a pencil to make a sketch of your painting.
If you want to add more details to your artwork, you can also
use black pens or markers.
STEP ONE: Preparing Your Coffee Solutions
Step 1 is to prepare your coffee solutions.
You will only need to prepare two shades
of coffee.
To make a light shade, mix one part coffee
to two parts water.
To make a dark shade, mix two parts
coffee to one part water.
STEP TWO: Sketch the subject of your artwork on
paper
Step 2 is to sketch the subject of
your artwork.
At this point, you can draw
whatever you want on paper. Give
free reign to your creativity. You
have your own artistic license.
STEP THREE: Paint your sketch with a light coffee
solution
Step 3 is to start painting your sketch with
a light shade of coffee. Make sure that you
spread the coffee solution evenly so that
your paper won’t get too soggy. You can
actually avoid this problem by using
watercolor paper, which is a type of paper
that won’t easily warp after applying lots
of water over it.

solution

After which, let your painting

dry for several minutes before
applying a dark shade of
coffee.
STEP FOUR: Apply the dark shade of coffee
After drying your painting, you
can now start applying a dark
shade of coffee over it. You can
use the dark shade of coffee to
outline your painting, emphasize
details, or to create some shades
and shadows.
STEP FOUR: Apply the dark shade of coffee
You can even mix the dark shade
of coffee with the light shade in
order to create some blending.
And there you go – a painting
that creatively uses the different
shades of coffee.
STEP FOUR: Apply the dark shade of coffee
You might only be working with two shades
of coffee, but this gives you endless
possibilities for creating artworks.
You can use black pens or markers to create
coffee and ink artworks. You can also use
any style of art that you prefer. To preserve
the painting, simply put it in a glass frame to
protect it from the elements.
