Coffee melted down, coffee grounds, charcoal and watercolor
Creating a recipe. I am working on some watercolor paintings. I have 6 going at the same time. I have been given a challenge to work on several with speed and abandoning thought in the process... stepping outside of "CONTROL." I was taught today how to melt down coffee into a syrup. I used that on a couple of my canvases, and used the grounds for others. These are all experiments. I may not get one single quality composition out of these works, but that is actually the whole purpose. I tend to gravitate to total control in my work, so this is an exercise in the EXTREME opposite. I will post some images - for good or bad. I'll follow up and let you all know the progress. I'll let you know if I still have my sanity. I'll even report if I still like painting. lol Seriously, wish me luck.
