Tony van Hasselt - Tony van Hasselt, A.W.S. loves to paint a plein air and watercolor is his favorite medium.

Several of his idols became his mentors and friends in art.

Tony has written "A Studio Visit" and "Outdoor Watercolor Workshop." He is the co-author of "Painting with the White of your Paper" as well as the popular "Watercolor Fix-it Book."  He has produced several DVDs on painting in watercolor.
