Exploring the Artistic Side of Coffee
There are more ways to enjoy coffee than drinking it!
Coffee is not just a beverage; it’s an incredible medium to create art with.I use it to paint on a variety of surfaces, including canvas, paper, and even plates. The unpredictable patterns and rich earthy tones make coffee an inspiring and exciting medium.
My journey with coffee painting began during the COVID lockdown. With acrylics running low, my creative curiosity pushed me to experiment with various alternative materials—from onion skins to spinach, English tea to green tea. While each option had its charm, coffee quickly emerged as my favorite. The blend of its delightful aroma, rich hues, and glossy finish is simply divine!
Initially, I started my coffee painting adventure on watercolor paper, but I soon moved on to experimenting with canvas and even pottery plates! Once I immersed myself in this process, there was no looking back. To add complexity and vibrancy to my palette, I began incorporating green tea, and the discovery of saffron introduced beautiful orange tones.
What’s fascinating about coffee painting is that different coffee varieties yield distinct shades. To achieve those deep, rich colors, it's crucial to start with a well-prepared thick mixture. This can either be done by boiling down your brewed coffee or, for an easier approach, by mixing instant coffee into a shot of espresso. #umbria #jumblehouse #serendipity #coffeepainting #coffeeart #paintingwithcoffee #decorativeplates
