Howard Eberle AWS, NWS

Howard Eberle is a self- taught American watercolorist who uses drybrush to create the realistic detail found in his paintings. He considers himself a portrait painter of objects and is often drawn to simple, weathered subjects ravaged by time. The peeling paint of wood, rust and stone are all elements that challenge him to create texture with his brush.

Eberle is a Signature member of the American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, Transparent Watercolor Society of America, Watercolor USA Honor Society, Pennsylvania Watercolor Society and Watercolor Society of North Carolina. He is also an elected member of the Allied Artists of America.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, he moved to Pennsylvania for a career as a department store display director. He worked alongside architects and developed an eye for negative space that has influenced his style of painting. His professional career as a watercolor artist began 30 years ago and two of his paintings reside in the permanent collection of the State Museum of Pennsylvania.

Eberle lives in Lewes, Delaware with his wife, Joann.
