Painting with coffee

This is a single task with a You tube tutorial I made to demonstate how coffee can be used as an alternative to paint. This is great as a home learning task as it gives students the option to create a piece of art without the need for paints, using something they proably have at home. To video demos the drawing of a shell and tonal detail added with coffee.
