Hello, art enthusiasts! I hope you’re all making the most of your weekend. Today, I have created an interesting artwork using coffee powder as my medium, and I invite you to take a look and share your thoughts.

As dawn breaks, the world is awakening, and the eastern sky is transformed with the brilliance of the sun. A brisk breeze sweeps across the water, signaling the arrival of a new day. The boat, sleek and poised, is ready on the water's surface for its journey.

Sailing at dawn is not merely a journey; it is a powerful experience. It allows us to witness the stunning beauty of the natural world, harness the energy of the wind, and connect with something greater than ourselves. This moment is filled with pure magic, a memory that deserves to be treasured long after the sun has set. Embrace it!

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:
πŸ‘‰ Watercolor Paper or sketching Paper
πŸ‘‰ Pencil and Eraser

Basic Procedure:
β€’ Outline or sketch your painting reference.
β€’ Paint using a lighter shade of the background by creating a beautiful texture.
β€’ On the middle ground, paint the first layer of the subject.
β€’ The same procedure with the foreground.
β€’ Once the first layer is completely dry, you can proceed to paint with a darker shade of coffee.
β€’ 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.

Painting Process:
