News & Notes

This year I also have been honored to be included in American Watercolor with a nice description of how I began as a watercolor artist, what inspires me, and other information regarding my approach to painting. The article includes a selection of my paintings.

The June/ July 2021 issue of Plein Air Magazine has one of my paintings in an article dedicated to watercolor.

Augusto will be doing watercolor demonstrations at the Keeton's booth at this years
Florida Watercolor Society convention which will be held in Sarasota on September 28, 29 and 30.

Some of Augusto's paintings of the history of Venice are now part of a permanent exhibit
at the Venice museum and Archives in Venice, FL.
