HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE PAINT

In order to prepare the coffee paint, we need to take our instant coffee powder along with water. Mix in the coffee powder in a cup or a palette. In Order to create the dark colours just the water ration. The lesser the water, the darker the colour and the same go along with the light shade.  Add more water to the less coffee powder. 

STORING THE ARTWORK

After the coffee painting is done, let it sit to dry for at least  24 hours before framing it. In order to protect the painting, and ensure it preserves well, and apply a thin layer of varnish.
