Coffee Painting Experiment


Here I have experimented with coffee paintings by using water and Nescafé gold granules on canvas paper. I have experimented this with a whole new design which I drew straight onto the canvas as an idea of a 3rd poster. I own't be making a third poster but I wanted to play with a design which would combine aspects of both of my first 2 posters, using the hands and the mugs of both of the figures from the posters and clinking their mugs together with the coffee slightly splashing out from the movement and the tweaked logo design in the background which matches with the coffee painting concept design for both the posters and the packaging. I have used dry and wet brushes and different concentrations of coffee to create different tones. I realise coffee is a little more tricky to paint with than water colour as it is quite sticky. I have also played with effects by splattering coffee and using the bottom of a mug to create coffee rings. I have also used a wet brush to create drips and a spray bottle or stained bloom effects.
