Nguyen will be teaching this 2-day workshop at University Art in Sacramento, CA. This workshop is designed to create a relaxed, informative, yet focused working environment for all skill levels. The core of the lesson will be based on drawing, values, edges, composition and creating life-like skin tone color. Students will focus on the fundamentals of drawing the human head while developing new skills in soft pastel. The workshop will feature a live model, and Cuong will demonstrate his own techniques to draw from life. Students will learn to use an approach that helps them see the big shapes first, and then go into details towards the end of the session. This is a great opportunity for you to discover your own passion for drawing, or just take your existing skills to the next level. This is a small class with individualized instruction, so space is limited.

Trained to be a traditional portraitist at the age of 10 in his native Vietnam, Cuong has always had a passion for drawing human faces. His paintings depend on the dramatic portrayal of light, shadow and environment to create their mood and sense of realism. He believes that a successful painting requires that he establish an emotional connection with his subject, so that the viewer in turn connects at an emotional level with his work. Cuong has been invited to teach in and outside the country, such as Mexico, China, Costa Rica. Cuong has won many awards for his paintings, including Prix de Pastel at the IAPS's 2011 Master Circle Exhibition, Grand Prize Award 2010 Pastel Journal Magazine. Cuong earned his PSA's Master Pastelist, Master Circle status of IAPS, and Distinguished Pastelist of PSWC
