FAQ : What is O Ka-Fée ?
O Ka-Fée is the term concerning all my paintings done with coffee. It concerns the way of painting and of obtaining textures with coffee. It's about projections of coffee, which once in stains on the sheet, undergo injections of pigments. (Powder, colorex, watercolor.)
Textures realized by coffee by drying (more or less sweetened) are unique, they are more interesting than those realized with water.
The coffee is a rather complex medium has to master, it's necessary to know its reactions to be able to manipulate it with pigments, we learn it every day.
O Ka-Fée also concern my graphic style and the whole universe which gets free of it. It's for that the term is my own brand.
Please, respect my universe and work.
/ Version FRFAQ : Qu'est ce que O Ka-Fée ?
O Ka-Fée est le terme concernant mes peintures réalisées avec pour base de café. Il s'agit de la manière de peindre et d'obtenir des textures réalisées par le café. Dans un premier temps ce sont des projections de café dans lesquelles ensuite on injecte des pigments. (Poudres, colorex, aquarelle.)
Les textures réalisées par le café (plus ou moins sucré et selon la marque.) sont uniques, elles sont plus fortes et intéressantes que celles réalisées avec l'eau.
Le café est un médium complexe a maitriser, il est important de connaître ses réactions afin de les manipuler avec les pigments, on en apprend tous les jours de part ce médium.
O Ka-Fée concerne aussi mon univers et style graphique, ce sont souvent des peintures et univers libres, avec du mouvement et de la poésie.
Merci de respecter mon travail et univers.

Sandstorm dragon is a wonderfully executed piece with a fitting title, color scheme and texture. There are a lot of great elements about this piece, in particular, the pale outline and careful detailing of the dragon. The white lines are placed with skill and confidence and help make the dragon pop out from the sand storm surrounding it. The dragon's head, horns and spines are all exquisitely detailed. There is also the delightfully lively detail of the smoke rising form the dragon's nostrils, which is a marvelous touch that gives it some great life. It is a fantastic piece.
The one thing I would suggest to improve it would be to add some more detail to the left wing. Because it is facing the viewer and obscuring a few parts of the dragon's body, it should stand out a bit more. It is the color of the background, which makes the perspective a little confusing because the lighter color and less detail makes the mind think of it as being visually pushed back a bit, but this is not anatomically possible, which creates a little visual confusion. I do not consider this to be a fatal flaw, however. The coloration of the wings is well done, and my mind doesn't badger me that the perspective is a bit off. If you want to be really nit-picky, you might add a touch more color to the tongue, but the tongue does not bother me as it is.
In conclusion, this is a very well done piece. The use of coffee is really original, the life-like smoke rising from the dragon gives it life in such a way that you almost expect it to fly off and blast a lot of sand all over the place. This is probably one of my favorite pieces that you have done.

ce serait un fave instantané, sauf que… c'est moi qui y vois mal ou l'aile droite est montée à l'envers ??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Non. C'est l'intérieur de l'aile qui est visible, la partie d'attache et de courbe est masquée sous la texture et a peine soulignée par du blanc, ce qui donne cette illusion qu'il n'y avait pas sur la base durant le WIP.

these are so beautiful, and I love your pieces.
My question is, if you don't mind answering, do you start with the dragon first, or do the watercolor texture first? I am always stumped by your process
