The Caffeinated Sketchbook

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

Okay. No problem! I am so clumsy to start. I spilled coffee on a library book about 25 years ago. I ruined it. I went and paid for the damage. They bought a new one. They gave me the ruined book. I should get that out and collage with it. I will just go about my day and not worry about spilling and embrace the beauty of spilled coffee. Lol😂

[@KoosjeKoene]

I love that idea!

[@astridKol]

Really nice idea. I'll tried today. Thanks for all your videos ❤

[@KoosjeKoene]

You’re welcome!

[@laymuuna8821]

Oh wow, this is so inspiring - thank you so much! And I love the joy and enthusiasm on your face while talking about this creative idea! It seems like coming right of your heart 💖💫

[@KoosjeKoene]

You are so welcome!

[@RodriguezCarlitos-hd7ti]

This has a great feel of dadaism! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad you like it!

[@LindySellsHomes]

I do this too! I order a short espresso which is very strong and use it as paint with my brush to fill in, splatter and do rings. I like sketching in coffee shops so do it often. Our local Urban Sketchers Cincinnati group even has a group sketch once a month in a different coffee shop location, along with a special stamp URbean Sketchers for the occasion.

[@KoosjeKoene]

I love that!

[@anjeanettesilver3051]

I can just see you at the local coffee shop and the expressions on faces while you play in your coffee

[@KoosjeKoene]

Haha oh yes I tend to turn heads with tis "technique" LOL

[@CynthiaMorris]

People love it!

[@plarsen2654]

pouring coffee on my sketchbook right now!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Wahoo! How did it go?

[@plarsen2654]

@KoosjeKoene it got messy and seeped over to a drawing and it made that look super cool. And then I used the coffee stain as background for a bunch of imaginary flowers. Messy and fun. I like it

[@UJB123]

I do it by accident 😂 and I just keep drawing over it. Happy accidents. Thanks😊

[@KoosjeKoene]

Keep spilling!

[@debrachristidis4376]

What fun!!😂❤

[@KoosjeKoene]

So fun!

[@sharonmcmichael4690]

Thank you! Let the fun begin!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Have fun!

[@leighrogers1383]

I also love to go out , get a coffee and draw….and I sometimes have a fear of the clean blank page….will definitely be trying this…thanks for the inspiration 😊

[@KoosjeKoene]

It'll be fun.

[@annipetratos9401]

Such a happy video...love your sketches. My coffee ☕ is waaay too milky...I think I'd have a stinky sketchbook...but my friends drink greek coffees so they had better look out!!! Have a lovely day xx

[@KoosjeKoene]

Cynthia does it with milky coffee too and it works...

[@annipetratos9401]

@@KoosjeKoene yes you said so in your video and I'm sure it looks great..........( But does it get stinky😬)

[@CynthiaMorris]

I have never had any problems with my milky coffee. It dries and becomes part of the pages.

[@annipetratos9401]

@@CynthiaMorris no more worrying about spillages then. Thanks for replying 😊

[@ChantelleArts]

this is a really fascinating idea!

Try it! Real fun.

Many thanks!

not sure if tomato sauce is usable ... but I'll try anyway

[@KoosjeKoene]

Only 1 way to find out!

[@AleeshaSattva]

I used to do this all the time - every time I drew at a cafe! Although, I was concerned about the sugars on the page later... (bugs etc in my sketchbook) so I stopped.

[@KoosjeKoene]

I understand that

[@blueviolets2022]

I would not use cream or sugar in the coffee, that would probably invite bugs and mold. I bet you could use burnt umber to replicate this. Just saying, if you dont drink coffee. Ah, thank you, youre getting my creative juices....drinks, flowing! Lol (bugs are a big problem in Southeast US, ants especially)

[@KoosjeKoene]

Great alternative of course! (mixing a whole lot of watercolor and splashing that around would work as well. colored ink... etc)

Very interesting, thanks ❤ Can i come if i cant draw and what to learn?

[@KoosjeKoene]

Workshops are designed to learn!

[@patriciatatich3014]

Very fun…who knew…from sloppy to artsy…☕️

[@KoosjeKoene]

Totally!

[@sylvieauguste280]

I suppose that you don’t put sugar in your coffee ?

[@KoosjeKoene]

Indeed I don’t

[@pascalineh4792]

Thank you 😊 Would white coffee get mouldy in sketchbook 🤔?

[@KoosjeKoene]

There's only one way to find out, isn't there? Cynthia does it with milky coffee and I never heard her speak about mold.

[@CynthiaMorris]

I’ve never had any kind of problem. However, I live in Colorado where it’s quite arid and mold is rare. Still, I wouldn’t worry about it. It dries quickly.

[@pascalineh4792]

Merci both 😊

[@luannianke8110]

Dirty paint water too

[@KoosjeKoene]

Great alternative for sure.

[@elenapimenova1508]

пробовала рисовать поверх кофе. не очень.. липко Думаю, неплохая замена сепией.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Great!

[@brightpurpleviking]

I can hear my mother with her strong accent yelling at me about spilling 😂🙉
