My first attempt at painting with coffee - an interesting experience! Based on a portrait in the style of Sir Anthony Van Dyck.

This is painted with instant coffee so no excellent coffee was wasted. Since I was doing a coffee painting I wanted coffee to be my main subject. I think my design might look cute in a coffee shop.
First time painting with coffee. Water and coffee on watercolor paper.Used the cheap stuff, Folgers classic decaf and Millstone Kona Coffee blend.Part of the process photographed with a crappy camera.
Mixed coffee with wood glue and flour to get the texture right. Took a little experimentation, and ages to dry! For the milky mocha splash, I added a tiny amount of acrylic to the mix, just to lighten. After drying, I 'glazed' the piece with PVA.Hope this was worth stinking my flat out for - I don't even like coffee!
This was really quite hard, but the smell while doing it was divine. 5 different shades of coffee used - a regular art brush plus a toothpick for his coat and a little sponge.
My first coffee painting!
