Acrylic paint and liquid coffee on canvas with a crystal coating
40cm x 40xm x 4cm

This is a painting on an unprimed linen canvas. I’ve used acrylic paint and liquid coffee to create an abstract image and then the painting has been crystal resin coated to make the browns ‘pop’ and look as if they are liquid. Coffee is such a wonderful colour, from the burnt brown of the beans to the mellow brown when ground, then to the soft brown when milk is added. I wanted to use these colours but to create a striking abstract painting celebrating the beauty of the colours of coffee.
