Thanks JayJ. . . your confidence in me has me all geared up to tackle the cup of espresso, right away!
I have been thinking of joining the acrylic club. . . .$9. a month sounds like the deal of the season. Do you belong?

Hi All,

Rending my first attempt on the Cafe Espresso. Had a problem with the dish's shadow and looks like that the coffee's inner shadow has a brighter line, but in an overall I'm pretty happy and felt much more confident this time with the acrylics. Please comments well aprecciated.

Cheers

Looks great to me Juan Carlos

The lighter ring where the coffee meets the cup is correct - it is called the meniscus - the fluid curls up against the side of the cup due to water tension so reflects the light differently from the rest of the fluid

Beautifully rendered Juan Carlos!

Sherry, Jay, Louisa and Juan, you have all done a superb painting on the expresso. Sorry I have not seen these ones.

Juan Carlos · **Reply #99 on:** July 17, 2015, 01:41:06 AM

Danielle, I always embrace your kind words of encouragement. And I also have to say excellent jobs Sherry, Louisa and Jay, for those warming cups of coffee.

Nolan, I really appreciate your comments and physical explanation about the ring; I definitely will continue practicing on acrylics.

Cheers

Juan Carlos,

Love the frothiness of the espresso on the inside of the cup.

Great work!

One concern - should the fluid be that much lower on the right side of the cup?

Nicely done Juan.

You are coming along very well.

Juan Carlos · **Reply #103 on:** July 17, 2015, 10:53:33 PM

:thankyou:Natalie, Val and Zyan for your lovely comments.

Mea, I always love your comments, such an observer. You're right, but I think it is a matter of perspective, and though I tried to equalized both levels, it seems that the balance of the table, it's a little bit twisted!!!

Cheers.

Nicely done Juan Carlos.
