RAISING STEAM
With no formal training at an Art College, Yorkshire-born, New Zealand railway artist Ron Jackson honed his skills at night classes at Waiuku College and painting workshops for about ten years.
I started sketching during my holidays then progressed to painting. I had some very good tutors at the art classes workshops that I attended. Further to this I was impressed by the abilities and techniques of amateur artists on a UK Television program ‘Watercolour Challenge’.
