American artist Karen Eland

American artist Karen Eland paints pictures with beer instead of paint. The 38-year-old from Bend, Orgeon became famous for her coffee art, but decided to move onto a different medium. "Painting with beer is quite simple, and very similar to coffee painting. I pour out some beer and start dipping my brush and painting."

 She says: "I use stouts and porters to create the paintings, with sometimes lagers or lighter beers to do the light areas. Sometimes I like the beer to evaporate awhile, condensing the colour. I use watercolour paper; the beer is too liquid-y to work on canvas unless I add a painting medium. Depending on the level of detail, a medium size beer painting takes about 2 days to complete. Lots of gradual layers are built up to create the final painting."
