Love having found you. Your art resonates with me and I so appreciate you sharing your techniques. Thanks!
@@carolawatson123 thank you so much 🥰
I am *stoked* about finding your channel. This is just what I need.
@@k8marlowe 🥰 so happy to hear!! Thanks for being here!
Thank you so much for sharing you techniques via your videos.
I've never 'done art' before, but you're last posts/vids encouraged me to have a go with a canvas, some teabags, instant & coffee granules and acrylics. It was a lot of fun and, whilst you don't need to worry about a competitor just yet 😂, I was stoked with the result and it's hanging in my hallway.
Thanks again!
Oh my gosh I love to hear that!! Thank you so much for tuning in 🥰 happy to be sharing some of my techniques!
So glad I clicked on your video. I workmin a coffeeshop. I can't wait to try the coffee filters
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. So inspiring!
You could always use round canvas. ❤️
@@oliveappleby8672 that would be neat!
Great techniques thanks for sharing 😊
This is really neat. Thank you.
Dollar Tree sells the canvas boards and I’m sure it’s cheaper than Michaels. 😊. What a great way to recycle coffee grounds and the filters!
Wow Molly! You’re from Lancaster Pa.? I went to school there. Have you ever heard of Academy of the Assumption (also known as Assumption)?
Credit card works great for smoothing.
Interesting. I love the aged look of the filters. Thanks for sharing! do you have a video showing what you do on top of these layers? Are you collaging? Painting?
I'll be creating more process videos! It all depends on how I'm feeling. I will typically add paint and limestone powder layers down (more on this to come) as well as a mix of collaging.
Great video again what kind of cogfee grounds are you using ? instant coffee ? on the video it looks big grounds ..
Not instant coffee, just regular coffee grounds pulled from my coffee machine after we brewed some! I dry them out on a plate and then store them in a mason jar in my studio. You could also use fresh grounds, but I like to recycle!
Great ideas ! I have used coffee in painting but never thought of doing this . Thanks
Hi Molly and thank you for sharing this technique. My coffee machine doesn't use the coffee filter paper, where can I get those paper filters?
@@oscarcartayasainz998 you can buy them on Amazon or your local grocery store :)
Is it possible to do some of this when also using watercolor? I’m a watercolor painter, but have been exploring mixed mediums. This would be great as the base of my watercolors.
@1105renrut yes, coffee filter would make a beautiful ground for watercolor painting! Try it out and let me know how it goes!
I worry about your coffee consumption...
@blablabla6-k2d 😂 I only drink a half cup a day because I'm pregnant. A little goes a long way with coffee grounds. You don't need much!
@@mollysuppleeart jk, bein' a brat here.
