Hi everyone! Here's my coffee painting of a forest scene! This was such a fun and interesting challenge to attempt and I would really love to work with coffee again sometime. I highly recommend giving this art challenge a try! Thank you so much for the amazing support on here! Hope you're all having an awesome day. :) -Chris

LethalChris Drawing My suggestion lol I'm 26 years old and I feel I'll be waiting 26 more years for that Sand Guardian, give me a sand dragon, or a sand dragon please!

[@jordanlp02]

I wonder about the instant coffee... I'm thinking the powder in it make act more like a pigment in watercolor paint.. I wonder if brewed coffee would behave differently..? EDIT: Wow that white lining worked wonders for the water!

[@HoushouRattengod]

A few questions: Did the Temperature of the coffee affect how well it painted? How long did it need to sit before it dried? Do you think that different Coffee brands/grounds/beans would give a different color hue, or was that entirely based on how much water you mixed with the beans?

[@Quatsch82]

LethalChris Drawing oo

[@LethalChris1]

I let the coffee sit for a little while before painting. Decided not to paint straight away in case it had a bad effect on the paper. I think different beans and grounds could definitely create different colours - that would be super interesting to explore! For this painting I just changed up the amount of water in each cup to vary the darkness.

[@abdyeljaramillo3383]

bet it smells great

[@LethalChris1]

Haha yep!

[@user-ep8vs9fy4y]

Abdyel Jaramillo I was gonna say that! 😂😂😂

[@Jiangeki]

When you accidentally buy decaf

[@angiegomez498]

Senpai i never tried decaf but everyone seems to dislike it. Why?

[@badyuff]

Angie Gomez because decaf means the coffee doesn't have caffeine in it, which is what wakes people up in the morning.

[@Jiangeki]

badyuff Senpai has noticed your kindness for answering Angie's question. I like you ❤️

[@angiegomez498]

badyuff thanks

[@badyuff]

Senpai I'm so honoured, love you senpai

[@MrRishik123]

Use only food colouring as a paint :P

[@LethalChris1]

Ooo awesome idea!! Thanks so much. :D

[@MrRishik123]

LethalChris Drawing no problem. I'm just waiting on my cut of the ad revenue. I assume the check is in the mail. JK 😂 THANKS FOR THE REPLY. YOUR VIDEOS HELPED ME GET THROUGH MY ALEVELS. *gives a man hug*

[@starcatcatherinehale1893]

that's a great idea but how about try painting with natural food colors, such as beets, carrots, blueberries, kale, etc. There are lots of very vibrantly pigmented foods. Then it would truly be a painting done with "food colors" :)

[@hummus5694]

Mr Rishi The Cookie I take the potato chip, AND EAT IT!!

[@nuni1128]

It seems very satisfying, nice idea. And man you could paint with literally anything, respect

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much. :)

[@carriejamaa6586]

I would probably end up drinking all of the coffee on accident if I were to try this😂 Amazing job though as always!

[@LethalChris1]

Hahaha! Yep, I have to admit I ended up drinking more coffee than usual over the past few days.

[@eminbobbytorlakovicbobby1715]

Your voice is so soothing 🙂

[@LethalChris1]

Wow, thank you. :D

[@Forthelols]

Makes me feel calm, I love it

[@LethalChris1]

Really glad to hear that. :) Thank you for the support.

[@davidm3569]

Loving the depth effect by the strength of coffee. 👍

[@lilmissrandom1771]

interesting but this is the best outcome I've seen so far s congrats

[@LethalChris1]

Yay! Thank you so much! :)

[@nicart004]

I seen a few others before but this is the best coffee painting I've seen so far, if this one doesn't keep you awake, I don't what will. I wonder if cream might help, lol.

[@fin7631]

this is so clever wtf

[@dbrsd1233]

Good god that's awesome! I would have never thought of painting with coffee.

[@anusuasatpathi4021]

Very neat painting. You made it seem super easy but I can see the kind of detailing that has gone into it. Thanks for sharing.

[@SuperHero417]

I think it'd be very interesting to see and owl painting used with coffee!!

[@ohyes2247]

I LOVE the way the coffee goes onto and dries on the paper, it's so beautiful ❤️ amazing!

[@anitawhite808]

Brilliant idea Chris. Can't wait to have a go.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much! That's great to hear. Wishing you all the best with your coffee painting. :)

[@Captain_Titus3867]

really love your channel man. thanks to you I am drawing and painting better than I thought I could.Thank you and I hope your channel grows even more.

[@tacoman5671]

can you color a dragon eye with coffee

[@LethalChris1]

I'd love to try this! Thanks for the suggestion. :)

[@yukka4012]

The combination of 2d and 3d element blends really well, gret woork

[@lukakrejsa5833]

Thank you Chris you have inspired me to become a better artist with your videos.

[@melonmanmoop3255]

when you spill you're coffee and start crying, but you realize that it wasn't an accident and you made AMAZING artwork.... that never happens

[@cookiemonster672]

Omg chris I love this so much! I absolutely love painting with coffee! It's so different than paint 🎨 the texture the way it dries everything about it is so much fun to paint with! I'm definitely going to try it in this type of method and I'd love to see you do more coffee paintings!

[@ericaphillips4540]

I love this one, I paint in water color and this an amazing idea for something for my mom she is a huge coffee fan .

[@maloo538]

Those colours you managed to get are amazing.

[@beastoo7788]

its amazing to see that you show more than art...you tell us and help us on what materials to use and how and show the step by step speedthrough..really enjoying these videos keep it up🙏

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Dave. That means a lot. :) I really hope these videos help out. They are a bunch of fun to make.

[@markrandomlastnamethatisnt7578]

Absolutely amazing!!

[@DuluthTW]

Wow! All that with coffee? Nice.

[@netaschur4548]

It's fun to see you do art challenge I wish to see more challanges

[@rajb8809]

jeez you are very talented, there are very few youtubers who stuff like this and your one of them keep it up!

[@kyousukenaruhi6762]

Its amazing I didn't know coffee can be use a something like this and make a wonderful piece of art

[@gavcanflip]

You should totally do this with different teas! Just a ton of different teas with different colours and do this but more colours! That would be awesome

[@alexislindborg5837]

WAIT! I need to get my morning coffee before watching this! By the way, I love watching your videos. It give me inspiration everyday to draw myself... thanks to your videos and work I found back to continuing drawing after having a 5 year break . Greetings from sweden.

[@lesliematiacio836]

My class loves this, satisfying and amazing!

[@theomega4252]

Wow, so original, like everytime!!

[@marcodelatorre3190]

Very creative, talk about getting to the roots of the coffe. "I like it"

[@federodriguez7583]

that would be perfect for a museum

[@JaynePelletierThisGamerDraws]

This looks so amazing! Love the nice browns and the way the coffee layers! So pretty!!

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Jayne. :)

[@JaynePelletierThisGamerDraws]

Np! :D

[@Magicblaster4]

That's seriously so cool. Nice job!

[@mercialachesis9567]

ohh you could try painting with natural stuff like mud or crushed berries etc. just an idea. this is gorgeous btw! the best of this challenge yet. stunning.

[@meganw1355]

Amazing and brilliant idea with the three types of coffee. I think you're the first I've seen to this. I've seen some recently done with tea, and there are a lot of different herbal teas that give different colors if you ever want to try that one.

[@rose_____]

FANTASTIC!! Turned out amazing!! :D

[@daviddoyle7024]

woah! This is such a cool idea, it looks amazing!!!

[@mathildeproust7250]

this is amazing!! i've wanted to try it forever!!!

[@buzzardly1127]

It must smell almost as beautiful as it looks!

[@arpitmathur1247]

HATS OFF TO UR CREATIVITY!! 😱😱👏👏

[@VickyLatorreArt]

I love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@darkoianculov7447]

Awesome!

[@David-jx2zx]

that is cool and it is something different keep up the good work!

[@plantpun]

Coffee makes a really neat paint medium. I've heard the darker edge that forms around blocks of color as they dry is called a halo, and coffee's halo really stands out! Great job on this, monochromatic pieces are always tricky :P

[@sarikahphysio5371]

Awesome!!

[@rassiamelo6076]

Beautiful! You have inspired me.

[@Andreijkmuyt]

the log looks unfinished imho. It is cool how it dryes! The color is so uniform and it forms a dark line at the margins!

[@mogarthe1305]

I love the music choice man!

[@bruhmomentum2853]

Man... this was amazing! and btw I'm pretty sure this was the best "drawing/painting with coffee" video that I've seen

[@emojistyle676]

an amazing! just wonderful

[@monicamaymartinez4564]

I love your work. I did this when I was in my first year of college. I had fun because those times, I was just learning the basics of architecture and already, we had so many sleepless nights, not like it lessened now (I'm in my third year now) so coffee was and still is my partner then our professor decided to let us use it as a medium to paint a cathedral 😂

[@lmarteen2778]

I bet that drawing smells wonderful!!

[@Mantinae]

Wow :). That's a beautiful painting.

[@stevesantos205]

Wow Chris truly Impressive!! 👍👍

[@soraaozora5445]

Your arts are so impeccable, amazing, beautiful... I'm just respecting.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you for the support!

[@soraaozora5445]

LethalChris Drawing You are welcome. >.

[@pooch7449]

amaaaazing....i'm gonna give a try too thank you for sharing this 😊

[@thenamezally3181]

This is very beautiful, keep up the good work.

[@onnirokka5769]

painting with chili sauce next?

[@twisty.mctwisterson]

Hey Chris try using mashed berries as paint you would probably spend a lot of the time on mashing the berries but I think it would look cool

[@jordanlp02]

Or just a bunch of "paints" made from natural substances! It would be fun to see what he comes up with! :D

[@fann.9874]

Now this is talent

[@decyliashylame]

Cool you just painted with coffee! 😃

[@krazy8s58]

That's so cool! I didn't think you could use coffee!

[@nekohanyougirl]

wow this turned out amazing! love the final piece!!! :)

[@XCris69]

When that coffee is better than your coloring materials.

[@judichristopher4604]

Really really BEAUTIFUL.

[@punkandrockgirf]

This looks visually pleasing, have you considered doing a mini series for this medium?

[@sharifah3li277]

This looks amazing

[@LavenderRain24]

Impressive to be done with coffee!

[@nelinuit]
