Watercolour and coffee painting

They are lovely, I especially like the transparency look of the petals and the colours you have used. Interesting using coffee, I have never heard of that.

Beautiful paintings GrandmaSue, I love the hat!

Very nice, and I like the use of coffee on the hat. You are right, a mount especially the right colour really sets off a picture.

Lovely paintings GrandmasueUK, the coffee hat is very unusual, I’d certainly wear that to a wedding and maybe make a drink from it after I’d had a few too many glasses of shampoo at the reception.
Seriously though, they are lovely paintings.

Lovely. It's so satisfying to get a nice water colour painting as it's such a difficult medium, just so easy to ruin. Also never heard of using coffee. I did a painting of some poppy seed heads and really struggled with getting the right colour, perhaps coffee would have worked on water colour paper. I must give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

My granny used to use tea as a colourant on fabrics

Would put that on my wall

Thank you very much ladies. I love my straw hat which I did wear to a wedding a few years ago. I got it out to wear in the sun a couple of months ago. I don't think I'll be wearing it for best now though. It was a bargain from TK Maxx.
The flowers were from an online tutorial and were so simple and quick and I was really happy with the results.

Well done. It's great to have new ideas. When I struggle to get the right colour for flowers, I always say " I can't compete with God". The best we can do is try to interpret the pleasure we feel when we view the subject. Let's keep going. Good luck.

Lovely paintings.
I agree that even a simple frame can really enhance your work.

Thank you for these, GrandmaSue. I love the hat. You are very talented.
