Many of us may enjoy a tipple or two of our favourite drop. But rather than drink wine, Canadian artist Melissa Proudlock paints with it. But there’s more to painting with wine than just dipping a brush into a glass. Melissa has spent years patiently creating paints out of the sediment left at the bottom of wine barrels and fermenting tanks mixed with wine.
