Hello, art lovers! I hope you are all having a fantastic day. I'm excited to present my latest artwork entitled "Moonlit Birds." 

This striking coffee painting features a crescent moon and several birds soaring across a soft, brown sky. Utilizing coffee, I have crafted a unique texture that exudes a sense of tranquility, compelling viewers to appreciate the beauty of this simple yet profound scene. The monochromatic palette amplifies the mystical quality of the work, making it a captivating piece that showcases the potential of this extraordinary medium.

I used three types of painting brushes for this piece, and it took me an hour to finish it. For those who are interested in trying this unique medium, you can follow the step-by-step basic methods below.

**Materials Needed:**
๐Ÿ‘‰ Watercolor Paper or sketching Paper
๐Ÿ‘‰ Pencil and Eraser
๐Ÿ‘‰ Coffee Powder
๐Ÿ‘‰ 2 small cups ( lighter and darker shades)

**Basic Procedure:**
โ€ข Outline or sketch your painting reference.
โ€ข Paint using a lighter shade of the background by creating a beautiful texture. 
โ€ข On the middle ground, paint the first layer of the subject. 
โ€ข The same procedure with the foreground. 
โ€ข Once the first layer is completely dry, you can proceed to paint with a darker shade of coffee.
โ€ข Then add details to come alive of your painting. I used a liner brush for the thin details. 

**Take note:** In putting details, you cannot have sharp lines and shapes unless it is completely dry.
