This is my 2nd concentration piece. I started out not really knowing where I was going with it but then I continued working on it little by little and it turned out like this. I really liked the way it turned out. I was a little skeptical about using pen because I've only ever used it as a medium once before in Art 2. For the brown I used actual coffee beans to paint it. I had to experiment with a bunch of different types of coffee beans until I found one that I could use to paint with because most didn't resolve all the way. For the black dots seen in the actual coffee I used coffee grounds and used a little bit of water to spread it all out.`i like the way the brown background really makes the hands pop and doesn't take away from the actual hands and cup. This is one of my favorite pieces that I did because it was more on the spontaneous side, I worked with what I had and added things as I went along until I was happy with it.
