Art Journal: "The Lake's Last Light" | Coffee Painting ☕🖌️

Hello, art enthusiasts! How are you doing? A blessed Weekend to everyone! I hope you're all well. This is the latest coffee art that I have created today. Please take a look and share your thoughts!

"The Lake's Last Light" is a captivating piece of art that captures the significance of a serene lakeside sunset, reflecting the vibrant hue of the sunset on its gentle surface and the water appears undisturbed. The surrounding landscape is covered in the warm light of the fading light. Silhouette trees endure and stand tall along the lake, their branches reaching toward the sky as if in silent honor and adoration of the celestial display.

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.
