Shame the listing ended :( love your idea and paintings.
this is so beautiful!
Do you really use pure wine or does it have any treatment to become ink?
The wine is never treated in any way and is used straight from the glass in most cases. If I find a red that works particularly well I keep it in various tubs, some of which I expose to the sun to allow the water to evaporate. I've boiled it too to enrich the pigmency of the wine, but I have noticed that there can be a problem with drying time with boil-enriched wine and so have considered adding ingredients to speed this process. But I am loathe to do this and will probably not add anything because these are not finished paintings, the wine is used as a sketching medium. Any further definition of depth or colour will be added in a new layer of actual 'real' paint.
On occasion I use other media such as oil paint in new layers over the wine. However additional media only follow after the wine has fully dried, I do not mix them. Thank you for your comment.
