"One More Cup of Coffee" is a captivating beauty illustration that features a unique artistic approach using coffee and watercolour techniques. The illustration portrays the familiar Monday morning ritual of grabbing that much-needed cup of coffee on the way to work.
The artwork is created using a combination of coffee and watercolour, where the coffee is used as a natural pigment to create subtle shades of brown and sepia tones. I applied the coffee as a wash first, carefully controlling the density and hue to achieve the desired effect.
The artwork captures the essence of the Monday morning feeling - a sense of anticipation and comfort as one pops into their favourite coffee shop on the way to the office, which is often a much-needed boost to start the day and face the challenges ahead. The use of coffee as a medium adds a unique and unconventional touch to the illustration, that resonates with coffee lovers and those who can relate to the Monday morning routine.
