What is Coffee painting? Coffee painting is a beautiful art work from a common household item! Yes you guessed it right. It is coffee dust or seeds of coffee plant that are used to make such beautiful paintings. This art work comes under Monocromatic Art (i.e., using only one color). Who invented this art?  It was invented by Pornchai Lerthammasiri who is a Thai artist.  How to make coffee art? To get light colour shades, put small amount of coffee into a bowl, add twice the quantity of water,stir it and then use it for painting.  To get dark colour shades, put coffee in a bowl and put as little water as possible.  How to protect your art work? When you finish your painting let it dry for 6 hours and then apply a thin coat of varnish and protect your painting from dust. Want to learn this art?
