Friday Face OFF -- The Coffee Date

For this week's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of

Here's another quick direct-to-paper ink sketch,
supplemented with contrasting ink- and watercolour washes.

I decided to fill in the (inadvertently) leftover white space
with some lettering and coffee beans!


We've all been on those
awkward first coffee dates,
haven't we, LOL?

I hope it works out for them!

...February 9, 1966, my Sweetie and I had our first date, but no coffee for me.

You captured it the awkwardness so well. Love it.

You know I love watercolor art!
It brings some kind of movement to the piece that I don’t see in oil pieces.

XOXO

They look like it's going better than the couple I saw a few weeks back who both sat down and didn't say a word to each other but played on their phones. Great sketch!

This is lovely my friend!
Honestly, I've never had a first date that was over coffee. Also, I've not had a first date since 1985. 🤣

I'm getting a 'this is not a good date' vibe. He looks a little tight lipped and she's sitting at the very edge of the table.

Cafe culture, we can learn from the French how to live well.

There is something pretty wonderful about conversation sitting across the table from a stranger or a friend and a good cup of coffee.

I wish I had your talent. I can't do visual art at all.
