    Have you ever painted with coffee? Believe it or not, it’s a wonderful medium for monochromatic artwork, with a wide range of rich brown hues.   ¿Alguna vez has pintado con café? Lo creas o no, es un medio maravilloso para obras de arte monocromáticas, con una amplia gama de ricos tonos marrones.        You can use both instant and regular coffee with which to paint.

That means he creates artwork using natural materials like flowers, leaves, pine cones, stones, and twigs to create sculptures. He photographs his artwork and leaves the sculpture in nature!
