4Aug2017 Review on doing Coffee Painting

After trying coffee painting several times and experiencing with different types of coffee to paint, here are my comments:

Coffee painting is worth trying since it's still a very NEW thing here.
Who knows it will be the next trend.
Coffee is easily accessible and affordable medium to use. It's definitely a different medium from your colour tubes.
Due to its natural colour, it can create a very interesting monochromatic piece of artwork.

However, coffee painting takes slightly longer time to dry.
Morever, special care is needed when keeping the painting.

You really need to find out and try for yourself what coffee painting is about.
Join Coffee Painting workshop on 27Aug2017 to experience for yourself!

Tips/ Review on choosing watercolour paper

Today I went to Art Friend to take a look at the various watercolour papers.


The things to look at when buying watercolour paper are
its thickness and weight (gsm),
whether acid free / archival so that paper will not discolour over time.
whether cold pressed/ hot pressed. Cold pressed is rough texture, whereas hot pressed is smooth.

Brands -
Arches: 100% cotton, mould made, cold pressed
Bockingford: 300gsm, mould made, cold pressed
Daler Rowney: acid free, 300 gsm, cold pressed
Langton (Daler Rowney) : mould made, acid free, 300 gsm, cold pressed
