If you are a regular reader with us, then you must have come across some interesting artists featured by us who create paintings using some of the most bizarre materials. Artists who like to use things like wine, marijuana smoke and even sunlight to paint. Today we would like to introduce another such artist who uses materials like tea, vodka, brandy, whiskey and other alcohol to create his paintings.
Carne Griffiths is a Liverpool-based artist who like many artists has a strong relationship with alcohol, the only difference here is that he like to paint with it. "I have drawn with fountain pen for many years, often with plain water washes. When I decided to leave my post of creative director at an embroidery firm to pursue a love of drawing I experimented with liquids such as brandy," shares Griffiths, "I liked the effect this had on the inks I was using but decided that an alternative that wasn’t such a wasteful crime would be a better option so I started experimenting with different types of tea.”
