A little bit quirky and a little reserved, but give me a pencil, a paintbrush, a tattoo gun, a tea-bag and I'll make you something special.

Hello Laura:D! I love your view and the mediums you use, they are very unique. My personal favorite works of yours are done in coffee. For sometime now I've been wanting to start painting with coffee, but never got the courage. After seeing your rich gallery, I've decided I'm going to use coffee, but I have one question: Can I use just plain coffee (without paper or mixing it to much with other mediums) on canvas -will the colors be strong enough?

you will find that the coffee takes to every material differently. Personally I like to use layers to create depth of colour, but I'm sure you could create different textures of coffee to paint with (ie more liquidised in some mixes, and thicker in some). The best way to find your niche is to just practice.
It takes quite well to a linon and cotton fabric that hasnt been coated with a fixative (as many pre made canvases have), but if it isnt fixed with some type of glue (both front and back) eventually the image can become damaged. Takes well to paper as well. A thick 300gsm+ watercolour paper is probably the best thing to use because its sturdy like canvas, but adsorbs well. I hope that helps! have fun!
ps. cheap black and gold coffee has a great colour to it, and generally you will find it reflects light when it dries.

How are you, dear friend? I hope you're ok. I just wanted to say you'll get a feature in my journal soon, but it's not a stalker thing. =)
