Howard Jones Zoom Mini-Workshop – Painting Impressionistic Watercolors
October 10th, 2021 – 1-4PM CST
Guest Impressionist Watercolor Artist, Howard Jones, will join us again for another magical LIVE Zoom workshop on October 10th!
Born in 1957 Howard Jones has been a full time artist since 2009.
Howard’s style is impressionistic with a leaning towards abstract. He studies out of doors as much as possible in order to find inspiration for his studio work. Other than attending a number of external courses in traditional oil painting and monoprint at Cardiff Art College, Howard is mostly self taught.
Now giving most of his time to tutoring others in the mediums of watercolour and acrylic, Howard’s passion and dedication to helping those wishing to learn to paint for themselves is paramount. His promise to those with a genuine desire to learn is that he will pass on everything that he has personally learnt by straight forward easy to follow instruction and constructive advice.
