John Di Crescenzo

Watercolour Artists

Born in  Guardiagrele, Italy in 1944, John\'s love of art developed from an early age. The close association with his country helped develop a strong affinity for the local landscapes. John studied art at the Chieti Art Institude, Abruzzi, Italy. He has concentrated his artistic talent exclusively in watercolour paintings and  John\'s subject  matter is today dominated by the influences of European landscapes most notably Tuscan and Venetian scenes. In recent years John has been the recipient of numerous awards and conducts watercolour classes.
