Patnaik says, &ldquo;Coffee adds a lot of depth and a unique charm to a painting as it is a monochrome. In this type of painting, any brand of coffee powder can be mixed with water in a palette and applied to the canvas using a paintbrush. The many tones are achieved by adding water to coffee. For a lighter tone, you add more water to coffee. For a darker tone, add more coffee to water.&rdquo;

Who can try it? According to Patnaik, coffee painting can be attempted on any white canvas including paper and cartridge sheets. &ldquo;Everything from figurines and landscapes to abstracts and contemporary art can be created using coffee. I personally like to work on Egyptian art with coffee,&rdquo; she adds. At the workshop, participants will be provided with all the materials and they will create two paintings. &ldquo;Participants will be working on cartridge sheets and paint a landscape that will be a common composition for all participants. They will also work on a graphic/contemporary piece which will be their original artwork with coffee,&rdquo; Patnaik sums up.
