I enjoy pouring coffee on paper and observe how it flows. It dries very fast under our hot and humid weather. I did two outdoor pieces on Temasek Polytechnic yesterday. The top piece was coffee and china ink on normal A3 size catridge paper while the bottom piece was noodler's ink on moleskine. Which one do you like?

Tia, I LOVE the coffee one! I like painting with coffee and wine, myself...really gives a different effect, here, doesn't it!
Yes Cathy, good idea, I will try the wine next time.
Red wine works best. *G*
While personally I prefer drinking red wine and coffee to drawing with them I do like the one on top as well! Although the bottom drawing isn't too shabby either.
Coffee drawing for me, though both are great.
I'm with Veronica--LOVE the top one! It has a fluidity to the linework that is really tops. But the bottom one is so well done, too.
Beautiful images and the coffee effect is awesome.
I love both! For sure!
Yes, the coffee by all means.
A stunner.

Madam, nice sketch with your kopi 'O'. See you in school next week.
both are amazing, but i love the idea of drawing with coffee! brilliant drawings!
Wow you are really popular... I like both... but the coffee version is more loose and I like the freedom of it all... coffee sketch is awesome... but i think you may pour sepia ink on top too rather than having a sticky page in your sketchbook.
Thanks all.
Don, good idea on sepia ink, I was thinking of ants creeping into the sketchbooks with coffee, I take it with sugar.
Love the loose brushwork of the coffee drawing- this opens the door for all kinds of silly comments about lattes and decaf...
Excellent!
I like your vivid expression.
Well, I think they're both great drawings,
Tia, but the top one is spectacular! Maybe drawing with a "non-traditional" medium is part of the let-loose quality it has!
