My first coffee art piece! Hahaha! Not bad for a first timer right? Not say I hao lian haha. But couldn't be very detailed coz I've not mastered the art of blending and mixing. Blending coffee on paper isn't easy because the paper soak up the water so quickly. Got to use drawing paper (above) instead of the normal A4 printing paper which will wear thin and tear anytime. Did an impromptu one without sketching coz I felt that a mug of coffee would be most apt and simple too.
It's going to be one of the works that I will include while doing my presentation next Thurs for Art on coffee painting. Very amateurish but hey, it's the sincerity that counts since so far, no one who has presented has tried to produce their own works. :) My problem now is not being able to find many of Pornchai's work. It's unfortunate that I got to focus on 2 ang mohs (think they're a couple) who are also into coffee painting. However, Pornchai would be a good focus since he's the first person who's done it and he's got 6 yrs of experience with international exhibitions. His works are not easily available online probably coz he tends to auction his works for charity and if duplicates can be found online, it might lower the value of his works...
One thing for sure is, my painting smells GOOD!!!!! Wahaha...Serendipity believed today at 10:48 PM
