Now just imagine the 1800’s in America, the Wild West. There were Bars, saloons, sunsets, artists painting and Whiskey. Water was scarce so the whiskey they drank was the whiskey they used to dip their brushes.
The famous American artist Fredric Remington was often seen in the saloon painting on the napkins at the bar. He would say there was no better place to gather with friends and paint, where no one noticed him dipping his small brush into his shot glass of whiskey.
The secret society of artists known as the Whiskey painters would create miniature works of art, on the go. This method of painting became a ritual amongst fellow whiskey painting peers. Armed with a glass of Whiskey and a brush by their side these Unique and talented artists, The Whiskey Painters, would meet and paint as art legionnaires, comrades and as a collective unique society of artists.
