A WHISKEY PAINTING is a miniature watercolor (4”x 5” max. image) painted by a bona-fide member of the WHISKEY PAINTERS OF AMERICA (WPA).

The WPA, formed in the late 1950s has a limited membership of 150. An artist must be sponsored by an existing member. A genuine Whiskey painting consists of painting a miniature piece of art no larger than 4" X 5". The Paint brush is dipped in whiskey to apply the watercolor.

Whiskey paintings have been exhibited in at least 10 national shows across the nation. At this time, WPA has 2 annual shows. Cuyahoga falls, Ohio in April and Augusta, Georgia Sept.-Oct. Other shows have been held in Commercial Galleries and Art Museums across the nation.

The Whiskey Painters of America is the most unique and exclusive miniature painting society in the world with a set limit of 150 members. To become a member, an applicant must have a current Bona-Fide member of the WPA as sponsor.
