Nuriamarq’s amazing portraits made by coffee – Page 3

A new illustration always begins with a sketch done with brown pencil and once that is done, it is time for the coffee. Coffee works similarly to watercolours and like all the techniques that need water, the most relevant step is mixing well the “ingredients” -with more water, we get lighter colors and with less water, darker ones -. I always finish the illustrations touching them up and adding little details with a brown pencil again. I mainly work painting portraits so this means that I recreate reference pictures but after giving them a personal interpretation, the result is not a 100% faithful reproduction. Tattoos, hats, flowers, clothes,… give me the opportunity to create more intrincate illustrations and coffee is a complex, unique product whose worth goes beyond just a drink.”
