Lovely Mia! I'm looking at my cup of coffee in a totally different light! Very effective.

This is lovely Mia. Never thought of using coffee!

Thank you all very, very much for your lovely and positive comments. I often use coffee for monochrome paintings when I have no paintbox at hand. You can use the Nescafé grains more or less diluted. Although I never combined it with Quink Ink. You just have to see that you don't drink it afterwards!!! lol :)

The Bridge House at Ambleside. I started immediately in ink with an Artline marker, no pencil drawing first. I gave it a wash with diluted Quink Ink for the building and the stonework on the bridge. For the trees and foliage, I used diluted Nescafé. I gave the water a glaze with cobalt blue. Size A4. All comments as usual very, very welcome :)
