Vintage Looking Beer and Water Paintings

All the best artist start with a simpler medium and then with experience and time, progress to more difficult and complex ones. Karen Eland is a bit different in her choices, as she started with coffee and then moved on to painting with beer.  We have included below a video where Eland tells us a bit more about her history and her technique.  The paintings are painted only using water and beer, at various states of dehydration, the less water content, the thicker and darker it becomes.  Using water to dilute it, she can get many different shades of brown giving her paintings depth and that beautiful old / vintage sepia look.
