Godfrey Caleb

Godfrey Caleb was an architecture who one day accidentally spilled coffee on some paper, being preoccupied he left the paper to dry. Later he recieved a phone call and during that conversation he began to doodle on the coffee stained sheet of paper; the result left him impressed and inspired. After retiring from architecture, Caleb began experimenting with art mediums, his main focus being coffee paintings. These involve using Coffee as a substitute for paint and also using Pencils for shading and outlining. Caleb has worked using other many other mediums too such as watercolour paper, canvas and yupo, but still he says "there seems to be the need everday to pour myself a cup of coffee, lay down a sheet of art paper and paint with coffee." He has been retired for several years now and even though he enjoyed his previous life as an architecture, he now finds peace at his cottage home or on field trips painting. Now he sells some of his Coffee creations and even takes custom orders to make money as well as that he sometimes teaches his Coffee painting methods to others who he refers to as his students, teaching them to "regulate the mixtures of coffee while painting to create the tones and intensity of the mixture to achieve depth and shades of shadows.!"
