Art Journal: "Abstract Landscape" ☕🖌️

6 days ago

Greetings, fellow art enthusiasts! I hope you're all enjoying a fantastic weekend. Today, I proudly created an abstract landscape utilizing coffee powder as my medium. I encourage you to take a look and share your thoughts!

Abstract landscape painting is a unique style where the artist moves beyond depicting specific, recognizable landscapes. Instead, we harness shapes, lines, textures, and even colors to evoke the essence and atmosphere of a landscape.

For this piece, I employed three different brushes, and it took me about an hour to complete. For those ready to explore this medium, I will be sharing some essential 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.
