Coffee Art Paintings by Dirceu Veiga

Coffee Art Paintings by Dirceu Veiga.
It's funny: would the drawings really have been different if he'd just used brown watercolor instead? But it's a good gimmick, and pretty cute drawings.


Very smart of him to photograph the drawings on top of bags of coffee beans, and with cups of coffee. It adds dimensionality to them in more than one way.

Mr Skeptic here says he had coffee coloured watercolors in a coffee cup.

But then again, I have painted with blueberries.

Would you have blogged it if he'd used brown watercolor instead?

And maybe there's a slight coffee smell.

No. That's exactly the thing, isn't it? I think it's cute too, even though rationally there's no real difference, apart from the coffee paintings probably not being light-fast.
