Coffee Painting and Pencil Drawing

It’s becoming clear to me that I can’t stray too far from Painting with Coffee. Mixing strong black coffee with classic pencil drawing is a perfect new mix for me — I love coffee, I love painting and I love drawing. My art supplies are minimal and never far away from a creative urge.

For a little over one month I have committed to an exercise plan of drawing nothing but hammers every day. Luckily I have a special attraction to the way hammers look. They have a certain personality and are very easy to locate when I’m ready to draw. Just about every household has a hammer.

Hammers drawn on watercolor paper make coffee painting irresistible. Now I’m working on a series of coffee paintings of hammers.

Coffee is not a new painting medium — I have been told that Victor Hugo painted with coffee. Here’s a link to other Coffee Painters. And here’s a link to my Coffee Shop.
