Lesson Reflection – using coffee

During this lesson, we used the same objects that we originally brought in and drew them once more, this time using a choice of our dry medium, for instance I chose pencil simply because that’s what I feel most comfortable drawing with, although other people used different things such as biro pen.

We also looked at pieces of work that had been put up on the wall for us done my other students. The work was mainly done using coffee so we took this idea and adapted it to our own work.

I did this by starting with using weak coffee on the background which a dripping effect to it by using a paint brush. After this I drew my object over whilst the coffee was still slightly wet to add some texture.

Then to add more detail to my drawing I did some light shading in pencil but mainly I used more coffee but this time I ensured that it was more concentrated so that I could use it to create shadow.
