Description
Just a quick painting I did yesterday evening. The paper was dyed with coffee and I also painted most of it with coffee, though I added a lot of white paint as well. The two mixed surprisingly well. Quite an interesting experiment, though I doubt I'll do it again. At least with coffee.I actually hate the outcome of this, looks so shappy and faint. I wasn't even going to post it at first, but my mom told me I should. And I always listen to my mom!
This was really hard to post, there's something wrong with my dA. For some reason the scroll bar won't work (among other things). It would have been fine, if it didn't lag something horribly when I tried to use the little arrows. It makes it really hard getting things done on here. I guess I'm just being dumb again, never did quite well with technology...
Moved to Scraps.

This is just absolutly fantastic! the use of the coffee truly is just amazing, along with the bits of detail you was able to add.

looks really good . i've done coffee paintings before, it is difficult to make it darker. if you can get that instant coffee stuff really concentrated it might look darker. i use watercolors with the coffee too, usually. shouldn't become scrap. you could use soft pastel too, i like the way it looks. guesso works really good with coffee, but it's kinda expensive.

Thank you! Yeah, getting it really dark was very hard, so I did use instant coffee, though it took some tries to get it right. I'll have to try using watercolours an soft pastels sometime, then!

painting with coffee sounds like a creative and fun idea, gotta try it sometime
the textures in this one is really cool, i also liked the coffee and the white paint mixed together, looks so neat.
and i like the wolfs expression, a great piece of art yet again

Yeah, seems there are some others. I figured it works if you double-click on it.
I won't scrap it then, thank you!

Aww, thank you so much!
I never had a trouble with the new version, but today it suddenly decided to start acting up.

No problem!
Awwwww that sucks :/ It might just be my server that makes it slower than other peoples!

Yeah, that really sucks! Luckily my laptop is a little fast, my old one would probably lag a bit though.

lol it does! Ahh well, that's ok then... I wish my laptop was fast! It has to be THE slowest laptop in the entire universe!

Wow! The coffee really makes for a wonderful effect! I can't tell if you did it by painting or if the coffee did it by itself, but the fur looks even more textured, 'specially by the muzzle, which is definitely my favourite part of the pictureβ₯
I sadly have to agree with you that this isn't your best work. That doesn't mean it's anywhere near bad, though! I just love the expression!
I hope you'll get your dA fixed soon, and I definitely hope you'll keep experimenting like this! It's so interesting to see all of these different medias, and how different the paintings turn out to be...

Aww, thank you so much for such a long and wonderful comment! A lot of the texture did come from the coffee, which was very fun. I completely agree that it's far from my best, but after all it was just an experimental speedpaint.
Yeah, I hope it'll get fixed very soon. I definitley will keep on experimenting like this, it's very, very fun! Thanks again!

It's comforting to know it's not just me, though it is rather annoying. I have no idea what happened, hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

ooh, it must smell deliciouus<3 ^^
beautiful work as always, I love the colours and expression
yes, and I'm very pissed off because dA won't allow transparent pictures anymore Γ²__Γ³ this sucks. I hope they'll fix all these problems soon.

Yes, it certainly does. I don't really drink coffee, but I love how my whole room smells of it now! And thank you so much!
Yeah, so do I, it makes it quite hard to do things here at the moment.
