sketches done in coffee – the stream at Esgair Wen and an owl feather my grandson found in the garden
First is only coffee in the grey Nova sketchbook, the second includes a little white Woody pencil and tiny touch of ballpoint pen

https://womenwagepeace.org.il/en/August 3, 2018 at 3:01 am #668553thank you all – take a look at AlfredArt here on WC for some beautiful drawings with coffee. He assures me it’s lightfast as well.
The landscape I will actually work on with a little charcoal to intensify some darks but I’m talking to a group next week about drawing with coffee and wanted one to show how to work further on it if needed.
I wonder if wine is lightfast

There surely are technics to preserve it. All I know is that once it is dry there is no possible withdraws.

For what I have understood, he uses the olive oil instead of water, even if he also uses some water.If you do some experiments, vhere, please tell us about.

https://womenwagepeace.org.il/en/August 3, 2018 at 3:02 pm #668555I will but not being much of a drinker I don’t know when I’ll get hold of any red wine!

[FONT=Book Antiqua]www.watercolorsbyjoan2.blogspot.comAugust 5, 2018 at 4:12 am #668556Yes Joan VERY concentrated. 3 of those sachets of coffee you get in hotels in a tiny little jar with gauze in it and the least possible water to get the right degree of damp/wetness – prevents drips and leaks Something I learned from Kiah Kian who does that with ink. Wet enough that pressing it releases fluid but you can turn it upside down with no drips.
