Painting with Coffee & Wine

Painting with wine

Painting with both wine and coffee offers a new palette of colors and textures.

Eucalyptus Leaves painted with different wines show the variety of colors available. The Pinot Noir leaves at the top of the image show the different colors created by layering coffee and wine.

What to expect when you start painting with wine and coffee.

  • Painting with wine is much easier than traditional watercolor.
  • There is a wide range of colors found in painting with wine.
  • The color ranges of coffee and wine compliment each other.
  • Coffee and wine can be layered to add new color and texture to a painting. Start with the first layer in coffee or in wine and just keep adding from there. Layer by layer it gets richer and more expressive.
  • It really is possible to relax and have fun painting.
  • You will discover an unexpected use of left-over coffee and wine.
  • For coffee painting I like Espresso and for painting with wine it’s Pinot.

Coffee & Wine Painting
Pinot Noir and eucalyptus leaves are used as a guide for painting with coffee or painting with wine. It is not necessary to drink wine or drink coffee in the painting process but it does help

 

You’ve been drinking it, cooking with it and now you can paint with wine. Let me introduce you to a whole new way of looking at wine and art. You will Amaze yourself & have some fun!

Painting with Wine event at EV Lounge in San Anselmo

Painting with Wine event at EV Lounge in San Anselmo. This was the first wine painting workshop and it was a success. A unique art event for San Anselmo.

Get A Grip

Get A Grip – SOLD -coffee painting of roots.

The show was well attended and received. And, I sold a painting – Get a Grip. Excitement was added to the evening as the sun went down and continuous slides were projected on the back wall displaying works from all three artists. The slide show also included artwork that was not in the show.

The EV Lounge is a unique showroom for art and we are happy to see it become an available space for more artists in San Anselmo.

I continue to be amazed by how fascinated people are about painting with coffee. It looks like there will be a coffee painting workshop at EV Lounge in the future.

New Art

Downtown San Anselmo Art show. Yes!

San Anselmo merchants are getting better and more open to sharing space for local artists to exhibit their work. Nancy Cicchetti and Eileen Ormiston have been my favorite art buddies for many years and it is a treat, and honor,  to be showing my Coffee Paintings with them. This will just be one evening but I am really looking forward to it.

Coffee Refills

There seems to be a momentum occurring and I want to align myself to it while it’s moving in such a positive direction. This Coffee-Thing is taking on a life of it’s own. The Art of Coffee at the Coffee Roasters in San Anselmo will end April 8th and on April 10th there will be a new coffee art show at ArtWorksDowntown in San Rafael.

Poster for Gang of Four

Poster for Gang of Four

This show has been arranged by Loring and includes four of the artists from the Abracadabra show—that’s the show that kicked this whole thing off. He’s calling it The Gang of Four and I must admit it is bringing up new thoughts for me. It certainly involves the part of me that is realizing the importance of being involved with other people but the flip side of that visibility is that I might not agree with how I am being represented. The name of the show and the poster created for the show don’t “feel-like-me.” Yet, it is an opportunity that has just landed in front of me to allow a continuing place for my coffee art. I have not reached a personal place where I am driven to hit the street looking for places to show my art. So far that has not been necessary because things just keep coming to me from all kinds of unexpected places. Refills seem to be free. So, for now, I will just sit back and wait for what unfolds next. I do have some fun ideas to experiment with for the next show.
