“How cool to be able to take part in live classes and ask questions in a chat! I don’t know any other artists in real life so to be able to play along as it happens would be a dream. Much love!” Linda

Coffee girl
For a long while I’ve wanted to try to paint with coffee. I was in Venice this summer and saw a painting at a restaurant that could have been done in coffee from the looks of it. The owners did not know for sure if it was coffee or not but my it made me really want to give it a go. The reason it took so long is mainly because I tend to drink all the coffee and have none left to paint with! But this Christmas we bought a Christmas coffee that was undrinkable which presented an opportunity to use the coffee for my artsy purposes. I had lots of fun drawing a girl using only coffee and water. I sketched her first with a color pencil and the coffee was quite pale so I had to do many layers.
A New Chapter and a Challenge
Hello and Welcome!
This is going to be a blog about creativity, art journaling, art supplies, mixed media, and occasionally it may include photography, coffee, writing and other joyous subjects!
I’m going to start off by setting myself a challenge, I have a beautiful set of Aquamarkers but I tend not to use them that often. So I’m going to make 10 pages using Aquamarkers as main supply and try to explore as many techniques I can before the end of January.
