Wax pastel - Wax pastel painting

Envision an old coffee shop with wooden furniture and ceiling fans, filled with patrons enjoying local delicacies. Soft pastel tones create a warm ambiance, while transparent watercolor layers capture the glow of afternoon light streaming through the windows. Techniques like dry brushing enhance the textures of worn tables and tiles. Wax pastels add life to the food and drinks on the tables, while a delicate gouache white wash highlights the expressions of the customers. Grunge textures in the background evoke nostalgia, inviting viewers to savor the essence of 1950s Malaysian coffee culture.
