Greetings, Hiver friends and fellow art enthusiasts! How are you doing?
Let me share the new coffee painting I made today.
This sunset landscape features a tree as the focal point of this art. The tree's silhouetted against the setting sun. The ground is painted with delicate textures that add depth and dimension.
I used three painting brushes for this piece, and it took me an hour to finish it. For those interested in trying this unique medium, follow the step-by-step basic methods below.

Materials Needed:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Watercolor Paper, sketching Paper, or stretched canvas
๐Ÿ‘‰ Pencil and Eraser
๐Ÿ‘‰ Coffee Powder

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