"Best Landscape" Award ~ juried by Americo Del Col ~
Americo Del Col received his
formal art training at Central Technical School when it was staffedby
such illustrious instructors as Charles Goldhamer, Virginia Luz , Doris
McCarthy and Robert Ross. After graduating in the early fifties Del Col
spent the ensuing years as a graphic artist and art director, but always
maintained his passion for painting. By 1972 fine art had become a much
more focussed pursuit. In 1980 Americo presented his first solo
exhibition and was encouraged by the audience's response. It wasn't long
after, that he gave up his job to concentrate on painting and teaching
full time. This led to instructing adult watercolour classes with the
North York Board of Education and selected private organizations. In
1995, he founded ‘Three Valleys Watercolour Workshops', teaching dynamic
and inspiring workshops year round. He paints with watercolour but also
with acrylic and mixed media. Del Col has participated in numerous solo
and invitational exhibitions including the acclaimed CSPWC. His work is
collected both nationally and abroad and can be found in private as well
as corporate collections including Imperial Oil, First Canadian Capital
Zurich Insurance and the Ontario Medical Association. He lives in
Toronto with his wife, Mary.
