Morning Coffee

6x8 watercolor on handmade rough 140 lb cold press paper done last month, another in my series of coffee cups and coffee. I really liked how this one turned out with its more energetic color tones and vibes. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

National Coffee Day! White Cup on Red Cloth

National Coffee Day! White Cup on Red Cloth 11x8.5 watercolor on Stonehenge 140 lb cold press paper done for National Coffee Day. This simple white cup about half full of coffee looks like an easy still life subject but it was anything but! Multiple ellipses and curves to get just right so many washes were painted before finishing. Sepia was the perfect hue for black coffee. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Cuppa Joe

5.5x8.5 mixed media on paper, today's work, patterned after a torn paper collage of the same imaginary cup and saucer.  I used Lamy Safari pen with Noodler's grey ink to draw, watercolor, and colored pencils.  Stamping done n left side to add the word 'java'.
