My paintings are done in transparent watercolor. The paper is soaked for half an hour or so, and initial stages worked directly into the soaked sheet. Then the painting is allowed to dry. Much later, I gradually build up the painting with thin glazes or layers of paint.

Win Jones -- St. Augustine, Florida

Known for his unique space-time concepts and ethereal watercolors, Win Jones combines 19th century blurred apparitions with 20th century scenes, such as parks or airline terminals, and 21st century manifestations, such as computer codes. His major exhibits, where he's also won awards, include American Watercolor Society, Chicago Municipal Art League, Florida Watercolor Society, Louisiana Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, Philadelphia Prints and Watercolors, and Watercolor U.S.A. Jones was a professor of art at Northern Illinois University from 1973 to 1993.
