Watercolor Coffee

I've been meaning to post this link for a few days now, but stormage and other things kept putting it out of my head.  Just Coffee Art is two creative people producing the most lovely paintings, done entirely with coffee.  They have a very different style from Chanisa Arthachinda; if pressed I don't think I could choose which I like better. 

The idea for using coffee as a painting medium came from a coffee house.

It all started one summer when they planned their first art show in a coffee house in Duluth, Minnesota. They wanted to come up with something unique and creative. Since their show was going to take place in a coffee house, they thought it would be appropriate to use coffee as their medium. They tried several techniques, such as using the coffee bean to sketch with and making pastels out of coffee grounds. These techniques were not successful. So they finally decided to use the coffee as a watercolor.

They've done a variety of subjects, including portraits (the sample shown here, whimsically titled Mocha Haze), nature, and a whole collection of coffee theme paintings.

Coffee paintings are natural, warm, eco-friendly, aromatic & revolutionary!!

The Art of Coffee Painting is also known as 'Arfe' - art + cafe. We have created more than 100 original coffee paintings in different themes.

Coffee gives unique effects which any other medium can hardly give.
