Coffee Break

8x8 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Masters Touch premium paper done last week on a cold morning with a cup of hot coffee, my favorite breakfast beverage. This simple still life is comforting and warming at the same time. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

National Coffee Day

It is National Coffee Day! This is titled "PerkFection" and a day is always perfect once it is begun with that strong beverage with no cream no sugar. Size 8.5x5.5 mixed media on Bienfang sketchbook of a stainless steel percolator (people still use those? I do) and coffee cup with roses. After ink line drawing done with Micron 01 pen, watercolor was added to pot, cup, and table. Background is blue and red Montana acrylic markers. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Coffee for Two

10.5x6.5 watercolor on gessoed matboard done today for another WetCanvas weekend drawing event.  I try to do these each week but don't always manage.  The challenge was to paint a black subject in honor of Black Friday so I chose my favorite beverage:  Coffee!
