Beer and art?

These are clearly two completely unrelated things. In the eyes of the public, beer will always be labeled as cheap. It is the soul mate of roadside food stalls. Although it is loved by people, it will never be associated with art.

But there are some people who, through the art of painting, have increased the value of a bottle of beer 100 times!

Don’t guess, I’m not talking about painting with beer, I’m talking about using beer to paint!

The editor introduced in the previous article that beer not only comes in two colors: yellow and black, but also light yellow, golden yellow, amber, rose red, true red, brown, dark coffee, black... ..Craft beer comes in a variety of colors, and artists who love beer are not just satisfied with drinking. They add water to different beers to adjust the colors they want, and draw pictures with different colors on the drawing paper. A wine-flavored masterpiece!

Karen Eland, an artist from Ohio, USA, suddenly had an idea while drinking espresso one day: "This color is really beautiful." ?So, she dipped her paintbrush into coffee and started painting. After the strong aroma of coffee combined with the painting paper, Yilan realized to her surprise: she had discovered a new art form!

After using coffee to draw some masterpieces, Yilan thought to herself: Since I can draw with coffee, why not draw with my favorite beer? As soon as this idea came up, it was out of control. Majestic mountains, sailing boats sailing in the raging waves, western cowboys riding horses and herding sheep, charming elves, migrant workers enjoying the cool and drinking under the big trees... As long as you can think of it, Yilan can do it. Draw it with a bottle of beer and a bowl of water!

So far, Yilan has painted more than 300 "beer paintings". This novel form has been welcomed by many foreign netizens. You won’t know if you don’t check, but you will be surprised when you check. Now the cheapest beer painting by Yilan sells for US$305 (approximately RMB 2124.3)!

Of course, there is a threshold for painting with beer, that is: you must like the taste! If you are a beer lover, then this process is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment, but if you hate the taste of alcohol, then don’t embarrass yourself.

Black stout, golden IPA, red sour ale, amber barley spirit... There are thousands of flavors and colors of craft beer. Every craft beer is a sudden burst of inspiration from the brewer, and in the painter's pen, the taste and color of each bottle of craft beer can bring new art.

Looking back at history, it is not difficult to find that wine has always been a necessary medicine for artists and poets. Li Bai expresses his ambitions in poetry and expresses his feelings in wine. In "Jinjinjiu", "If you are proud of life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle empty to face the moon."; Zhang Xu, the grass sage, drank three cups and then wrote a book with the help of God; Jiao Sui only spoke eloquently after drinking, and his words often shocked everyone... Wouldn't it be more fun to hold a bottle of beer and drink while painting? Thinking about it this way, I really envy the life of these "beer painters".
