Coffee

Thu Feb 26, 2009, 11:06 AM
My fair trade instant coffee finally came in. It was rough finding some and even the stuff I found I had to really look into their websites to see if it was Fair Trade. Now that I have it, I need to get on the painting. I'm waiting to hear back from Portland's Historical Society so that I can see if I will be able to paint some old photos they have of the Portland street cars. I'm hoping to be able to paint the street cars then and now. We'll see how liberal they are with their permission to do so. I have other ideas, but I think this will be one of the best ways to go. Since I work better from photos and these photos are already sepia in color, I'm looking forward to being able to use them. I'll be going in to get my class schedule tomorrow, to support my other art habit (airbrushing) and I hope that I can juggle work, school, and this all at the same time. The coffee, if you are wondering, is Mount Hagen instant coffee. All the sites to order will just say that it is Organic but if you get to the manufacturers site, it will tell you that it supports Fair Trade. Now lets see if I can put my coffee where my mouth is, so to speak...

  • Listening to: what I need to hear
  • Reading: my FASFA get rejected
  • Watching: bills pile up
  • Playing: with Safari to see if it's better than Firefox
  • Eating: not enough
  • Drinking: Sobe energy

I accidentally came up with the idea to paint with coffee. Someone had spilled some coffee on a drawing they were doing and thought it would be a great idea to try and paint with it. I took that idea, mixed with something I'd read about people painting with ink made from walnut shells, and ran with it. It's much like painting with water color. I had thought this was a pretty original concept, but since there are 6+ billion people on the planet, there seems to be plenty of people with the same idea. Look around on DA for their very different and unique styles.

Thank you. Your work is insane! I started with pencils and dry media but just hated all the time that went into a piece. You are an incredible artist!
