I wanted to title this 'Hyena with big mellons' but I don't need more enemies than I already have.
I keep drawing beaches and sea. My subconscious' trying to ring a bell, I guess.
The brown watercolour is, in fact, coffee, and the original is of a fair more delicate shade. Coffe's very good for coloring, but it only comes in a single colour :/

That coffee is the perfect colour for sand! That's pretty neat. Coffee is good for something afterall, i guess :P *doesn't like it*
The picture as a whole is nice, too. I like the subject.
There are some funny white spaces though, looks like where you cut out background noise with rectangular selections. ...just in case you can't see them.

Uffa io preferivo l'altro titolo D:
Sei proprio una iena D:
Scherzi a parte ho visto prodigi col caffè, un giorno o l'altro dovrò decidermi pure io a provare a fare qualcosa manualmente.
Anche il the mi han detto è ottimo.
La sabbia credo ti sia venuta davvero bene e mi piace come hai reso il pareo!
Leggevo sopra del monitor, è vero l'immagine presenta dei punti bianchi di "cancellatura". Il metodo più facile e veloce per settare il monitor che ti posso consigliare è:
- apri un disegno qualsiasi, tienilo aperto a monitor e fanne una stampa
- affianca la stampa del disegno al monitor, e usando come riferimento la stampa cerca di avere a monitor gli stessi colori
l'ho fatto per due monitor ed è sempre venuto abbastanza bene, inoltre così non avrai le sorprese del tipo: "ma era rosso, come mai in stampa è venuto viola!!!"

Using coffee as a color, that's both ingeniously original and gives a nod to the first artists that had to use whatever they had at hand to make their paintings. Makes me start thinking about what other natural colors can be had from my surroundings.
It's a nice picture too BTW.

black tea is nice to create paper with an 'aged' look.
besides, before the ascendance of companies providing pigments for artists large-scale artists of the old used to create their pigments themselves. not-so-funny side fact: end of 19th century there was some pigment used in middle europe named "mummy Brown". there was quite some scandal when it turned out the pigment actually WAS mummies, stolen from egyptian grave sites and ground to powder.

That's interesting. I plan on trying my hand at doing some artsy, impressionistic stuff in the near future and I'll keep that in mind.
Yeah I know a little about how the first paints were made, I've got a couple of books on herbs and colors are another use that many herbs have been put to.
Like poke weed berries (also known as ink berries) made early inks in this part of the world.

those things can make nice results. have you heard about the lady (I think she lives in Alaska) who draws ink pictures from sepia ink? she 'milks' them little buggers for a small syringe full of their ink and set them back into the sea again. then she uses the ink to do amazing little inkwashes.
have fun experimenting with natural pigments. we need more unique stuff around here.

Actually you want strange stories about strange sources of pigments and colors, how about the color royal blue? It comes from a shell fish which is spoken of in the bible as the Helozon(<Sp?). I saw that on a show called the Naked Archaeologist on the History channel. And it was so nasty and smelly to make that laws were made that the dye-maker's shop had to be a minimum distance from any town.
Just a FYI.

As you can see I'm trying to catch up on my submission replies and have been failing at it lately. This is a very nice piece, the coffee beach effect works well and the subject matter is quite nice in its own right, by the way I liked seeing the Archetypes comic making an appearance recently.
