coffee painting



this is gonna be fun but weird
fun to paint with coffee
its like a cross between watercolour or ink & GLUE!
weird to photo (its shiney in the darkest parts)
and too big for my scanner



How does one paint with coffee?

in a small bowl put two table spoons instant coffee
add/stir in a small amount/a dribble of hot water
just enough to disolve the coffee into a thick paste
you are not trying to make coffee to drink
you are trying to make paint!
have a second bowl of water only to dip your brush into
for controled washes of coffee stain
you can paint with the thick coffee
either as dry brush for texture
or build up subtle washes of coffee stain
the thicker the coffee the darker the colour
