The workshop—worked.
Coffee cup painted with coffee.
Coffee doesn’t just wake you up from your night’s sleep it can also wake up your sleeping creativity. There’s more than one thing to do with a cup of coffee and it may even be a better buzz.
In order for me to confirm my belief that just about anyone with an interest in my painting has an “artist-within” that just hasn’t had a safe place to test drive. For some reason Coffee Painting has an unexpected power to break down the “I could never do that!” block. I still can’t figure out what is so safe about it but I can clearly see it’s potential to erase inhibiting beliefs of creative inability. The workshop participants didn’t really believe that they could “make art” yet they were willing to show up and give it a shot. I asked each person to bring a shot of espresso and I believed that if they were willing to give it a try they were going to see in a matter of an hour that they could express themselves with painting. It worked for them and that made my belief work for me. Now I am planning my next coffee painting workshop
