I LOOOOVE painting with coffee. The smell… mmmm. You can add layers and layers, each one intensifying the natural sepia hue that oozes from the brush; you can leave puddles to stay still in a spot until they dry very dark or lightly glaze washes over parts of the paper hardly leaving a slight almost invisible tint. Coffee is the green version of watercolour. Environmentally safe art… yesssss.
Well, who would’ve thought that this eco friendly medium were to become the object of attention for a teen project presented by the Union County Public Library of North Carolina?
I am thrill to be invited by Jill Peth and Kyle Thomas to lead the teen summer program called “Espresso Self”. Isn’t that a cool name? How come I didn’t come up with that idea when I first started? (If someone mentions age as a main culprit, I swear…)
The point is: A group of teenagers, from 13-18 years old will be participating in this art workshop for which they have to register. We’ll try to keep in the 10-15 range as maximum attendance. Here are the dates, venues and contact numbers:
- Wednesday, June 10th from 5:30-6:30 PM. The location is: Union West Regional Library, Indian Trail. The phone number is 704-821-7475, ext. 3
- Thursday, July 9th from 5:30-7:00 PM. The location is: Union County Public Library, Monroe. The phone number is 704-283-8184, ext. 241
If you are within that age bracket… congratulations for reading my blog! Aaaand also, please go ahead and call right away to sign in.
I hope to see you there!
Now, let me go ahead and fix me the official beverage of the Puerto Rican painters… café del bueno.
