Art Journal: "The Calm Lake Sanctuary" | Coffee Painting ☕🖌️

Greetings Hiver friends, How are you doing? A blissful day to everyone. Let me share the new coffee art that I have painted today.

The Calm Lake Sanctuary is a quiet place and serene haven where you can find peacefulness and solace embrace of nature. This amazing nature is not just a place of natural beauty but a restful retreat. This encounter reminds us of the beauty of the natural world, allowing us to embrace the moment when our mind finds calmness.

I used three types of painting brushes for this art. It took me an hour to finish this piece. For those who want to try to paint using 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.
