Welcome to the oil painting landscape art of Jon J. Krider. For the past several years Jon's primary choice of media was colored pencils. Using colored pencils allowed him to pay close attention to fine details and color variations. Today, Jon has turned his focus back to his first love - oil paints. Although he enjoyed the freedom and flexibility of color pencils, he was not happy with the look and level of realism that he strives to achieve.

The Drawing Board

The drawing board are works in process. Jon enjoys showing his current works as they progress at various stages to completion. Being a self-taught  artist himself, he hopes that others can learn a thing or two from his style of work, and use this knowledge to better their own painting style.
