Sure, you like coffee. You buy gourmet beans from the specialty coffee store. You brew your own special blend to the rave reviews of friends and neighbors. You use a coffee-scented perfume or cologne. You snack on coffee beans and take vacations to Columbia just to inspect the trees. But you don’t really love coffee until you have it actually hanging on your walls.
If your walls are suspiciously devoid of any hangable coffee, fret no more! Just visit JustCoffeeArt.com and check out the amazing things these two painters can do with a pot of coffee, an empty canvas and a paintbrush! Yes, they actually use thick coffee as a sort of watercolor paint and they’re able to get different shades using stronger and weaker brews.
Their website tells the story of how Angel Sarkela-Saur and Andy Saur were thinking of a unique project for a coffee shop art show and after some experimenting came up with the idea of actually using coffee as a sort of watercolor. The paintings even smell like coffee when they’re done. There’s tons of great things on their site including art for sale, prints you can buy and lots of video clips of news stories and time-lapse videos of how they create their masterpieces. You’ll need to have Flash installed but it’s worth it.
