Painting with coffee is similar to watercolor but there is something uniquely different.
Coffee painting is an extremely simple and enjoyable art of expressing your creative thoughts on a paper with just coffee. Coffee painting has only one color, yet this monochromatic art looks amazing.
Shanthi Seshadri, a multi-talented and very creative artist dabbling a variety of art forms and styles was our mentor and guide. She very clearly and simply explained the entire process of mixing the coffee to get the right shade to coloring the Ganesha image step by step.
It was an very engaging and interactive session with individual attention to questions on the participants.
