Continuing the posts of my coffee paintings 🙌 This time, it's Éomer's turn, and probably my most action filled coffee painting thus far
I loved working on the armour, though it wasn't the most clear reference shot, since it's straight from the movie.
The best part was being able to gift it to Karl Urban. I brought the painting to FedCon in Germany, but when standing in line for signing, I was told there was barely any time for talking, and no pictures allowed. If I wasn't able to tell him what the painting was, I decided I'd only give him a print. But when I got to his table, he instantly said: "Hold up! What's this?" And I got the chance to explain how I'd painted it with coffee, and if he would like he could keep the original, or just keep a print, since I know he (and every other celebrity) gets a lot of gifts. He said: "You know, I do get offered a lot of gifts, and I really can't keep them all. But I'd really like to have this," which made me so happy to know 🥰 He also mentioned it was his one of his favourite scenes.
He was more than happy to let me snap a picture too, which turned out a bit dark since he was sat in front of a window. And I got an awesome autograph on a print to keep. It was an amazing day, and Karl was absolutely lovely 🫶
Painted with instant coffee on A4 heavyweight paper.
