Whiskey Painters of America

The Whiskey Painters are a limited membership organization comprised of watercolor artists employing the unique talent to create miniature watercolor art using "barstool" alcohol as the liquid media.

Organized in 1951 by industrial designer Joseph Ferriot (ferry-o), the group maintains the same requirements for membership that Ferriot and the founding members established at its first official gathering at the Tangier Restaurant in Akron, Ohio.

Throughout the 1940's Ferriot perfected the genre while traveling the country on sales missions. Carrying small brushes, colors and strips of papaer in a rectangular tin aspirin container, the founder amazed bar patrons with his small masterpieces, dipping the brushes in his favorite cocktail.
