I wanted to do a quick (very very quick watercolor at -44 so here's where I did it. I used Cretacolor watercolor bricks to paint with, 140 pound paper, vodka instead of water (the brush freezes immediately if you use water at these temperatures).

La peinture extrême; quand on manque d'inspiration on peut toujours avaler la vodka :-))

Good point but... -40 degree alcohol can frost bite your mouth and throat. :-(
BTW: That's why Hudson's Bay 151 proof rum was very popular up here during the gold rush days, it was strong enough, had enough alcohol in it, that it would not freeze at minus fifty degrees.

+ 40 ° (of alcohol) - 40° (celsius) = 0 :-))
