Painting With Coffee
A friend sent an e-mail to this site (because they had a bunny, not the coffee, but hey, it works):
Curious people who view the work are amazed that the artwork is painted entirely in coffee - no additives, just 100% pure coffee.How did it get started?
Andrew Saur and Angel Sarkela-Saur have been painting with coffee for several years now. It all started one summer when they planned their first art show in a coffee house in Duluth, Minnesota. They wanted to come up with something unique and creative. Since their show was going to take place in a coffee house, they thought it would be appropriate to use coffee as their medium.It was recommended that I view the animations.

Interesting. I had a friend, Aaron Sopher, rather famous in his day, who painted mostly water colors and did scores of line and wash drawings. He wandered Baltimore sketching a lot in restaurants, and most of his line and wash drawings were "washed" with coffee, with or without cream. He considered this the perfect color.

Truely, their work is amazing.
Coffee paintings are natural, warm, eco-friendly, aromatic & revolutionary!!
The Art of Coffee Painting is also known as 'Arfe' - art + cafe. Coffee gives unique effects which any other medium can hardly give.
To view an another culture in coffee, I am glad to invite you to my site - www.artandpainting.net
