Other Coffee & Water colour Paintings

Here are some extra coffee paintings and water colours I found which I liked from unknown artists.


This coffee portrait is similar to Josephine Ryan's work only less detailed and less range of shades. There aren't any patterned elements like the swirls or splatter, drip and ring stain effects. This uses a washy style for both the background and the portrait which has messy edges where as Ryan's style uses more intricate and clean strokes for the portraits and the washy style for the background. Since there is less range of shades the contrast in this painting isn't very strong.


This image is similar to Georgeta Blanaru's style with cleaner and thicker lines and more contrasted shades of brown as well as lack of spill effects and splatters. The minimal design and background also resembles Blanaru's art style only there is a lack of theme outside of coffee itself such as music. The shape and movement of the pouring coffee is very exaggerated creating curves and rounded ends with a cartoon like appearance.


This water colour painting uses a dominantly brown, green and white colour scheme. The combination of brown and green are usually connotations of freshness as the colours are associated with nature giving a "freshly ground coffee" feel to the painting. There is the texture of the canvas paper which has been accompanied by a wooden style texture painted for the table using different densities of water colour and patterned lines and curves that repeat.
