This coffee painting is a landscape scene highlighting mountains, water, and trees, painted in rich brown tones of coffee. The splendor of the towering mountains creates a sense of dimension and depth, and the presence of the trees adds life to the scene. The reflective surfaces add a sense of movement and life. The overall effect is one of quietness and peace, and it's a scene that invites the viewer to cherish the beauty of the natural world.

Basic Procedure:

ā¢ On the middle ground, paint the first layer of the subject.
ā¢ The same procedure as the foreground.
