Swap your morning cup for a canvas at this inventive painting class in Corpus Christi, where artist Sam Derleth guides you through the surprisingly beautiful world of coffee as an artistic medium. Working in a loose watercolor style, you'll build up warm, layered tones using nothing but brewed coffee — a small amount does more than you'd expect, and the results are quietly stunning.
It's a short drive down the coast to get there, and when the afternoon wraps up, Beached Inn is waiting — salt air rolling in off the Gulf, the porch ready, and that particular ease that only a quieter stretch of coastline can offer after a day in the city.
