Artists are known to find inspiration in drink: Vincent van Gogh famously drank absinthe and Salvador Dali enjoyed a glass of Champagne.But a British artist currently taking the world by storm relies on drink - to paint with.Carne Griffiths, 39, uses tea to create his fantastical pictures, which he then sells for up to £4,000 apiece
The Liverpool-born artist has been drawing since he was a young child and has spent years perfecting his technique using the unusual medium.
Mr Griffiths said: ‘I love to involve drawing in my work, and using ink and tea allows me to create repeating layers of drawing which I then wash away partly with teia, and make new drawings from what appears beneath.
