This is my first concentration piece. I wasn't sure what to make my concentration until one day over Christmas break I went to La Farm Bakery with a friend and took a picture of our coffees when the idea hit me. Making my concentration the idea of coffee, meaning the feeling you get when you sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee, that relaxing and peaceful feeling, that's what my concentration is going to be. I did this piece in acrylic paint, I really like the way it turned out. One of the hardest parts of of this piece was blending the colors together in the coffee and making it look realistic. another challenge was actually getting the shades of brown to look good together and to not have the wood take away from the coffee. Also, getting the color of the wood right was hard because there are so many different shades of brown. I wasn't sure about adding the shadow under the coffee of the left but It ended up looking good. This is probably one of my favorite pieces that I have done.
