About the Artist: Painting is first and foremost about seeing. My goal is to get you to do just that. To see any subject as a very definite set of shapes of color, light and shadow.

Have you been frustrated by “making mud” rather than lively, vibrant color? I will show you a method of using watercolor paints that will eliminate muddy, dead paintings forever.  Whether you are an experienced beginner or more advanced painter – there is magic in this medium to be discovered.

Ms. Jonas is an award winning watercolorist who paints and exhibits in the USA and Mexico. She has won 1st Prize and “Best of Show” in prestigious art shows, recently (2005) winning first prize in watercolor in the “Plymouth Art Guild 38th Annual Art Show” and in 2006 first prize watercolor Duxbury Annual Art Show.

Her subject matter encompasses portraiture, organic still life, seascapes/landscapes and abstracts. Ms. Jonas has taught at “The Beacon Hill Seminars” in Boston; The Duxbury Art Center; Pinehills, Ma; Pinehills, Plymouth; The Bellas Artes (National Art Center) and Jonas Art Studio in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
