About the Artist Tony Carchia of "Painting for Pleasure" is both an artist and oil painting instructor. He hails originally from Massachusetts but has been residing in sunny warm Florida since 1993 with his lovely wife Tina, who is also an artist. Tony is a Certified Instructor teaching the "Wet-on-Wet" oil painting technique that has been made nationally famous by television artists on the PBS networks. He has taught thousands of people, ranging in ages from 6 to 92 from all across the USA and Canada just how quick, easy and fun oil painting can be and loves sharing his knowledge and experience with others. Background Tony has always been interested in arts and crafts. He still remembers his first painting experience in kindergarten. No brushes, just fingers and paint and oh was that messy but so much fun. Throughout grade school, he continued to draw and add color with pencils or markers and entered a few art contests placing within the top levels. In high school, he was fortunate to experience a variety of arts and crafts like drawing, sculpting, pottery making, painting, block print making and more. After high school his art was put on hold for the next 20 years as family and work took over his priorities. About Continued - Page 2
