PREFACE
I have chosen to write an e-book about coffee painting, first, because when I have started I didn’t find one and secondly, I received many requests from those who viewed my video on YouTube.
My e-book is based upon my experience on painting with coffee.
Being a free spirit, I've liked to find different ways to express my creativity. Among these ways I found that using different mediums in painting will be challenging and exciting. So, I used dark beer, red wine and of course, instant coffee. Coffee mixed with water matched best with my way of being.
I love coffee, not only as a beverage but also as medium in painting. Therefore, I’ve started to apply this medium on many surfaces using many techniques in my endeavors.
This text is intended to inspire and help you in expressing your inner feelings through art, by discovering this incredible medium. This will happen only if this will be your deeper choice.
A little bit about myself as an awakened human:
I am a curious spirit who love to search and discover more about myself, about life itself. My journey started in my childhood, when I found myself being somehow different from other children. My search have led me in this moment in my life, when I know why I am here on Earth, what the life is about, where I’ll go from here and more…
By knowing these kind of things made me return to me and acknowledge myself as the only responsible being for the way I live. What I think, what I believe all the day long, what I hold in my heart will create the next day, next year, and so on. We as humans have free will to choose what will happen in our life, but we forgot it.
So, you, as me and many humans on the Earth right now know that and can make conscious choices. Usually, we don’t like how others treat us and we want to make them to change. You/me can’t change anyone else. You/me can change only one person - you/me. People don’t like changes.
So, to make a long story short, I have written an e-book about making conscious choices entitled Choices Guide
. A few more details about this e-book you’ll find at the end of this material.
