Cuong Nguyen is a renowned Vietnamese-American portrait painter and teacher. He is a PSA Master Pastellist and an IAPS Master circle member.
'Trained to be a traditional portraitist at the age of 10 in my native Vietnam, I have always had a passion for drawing human faces. I believe that a successful painting requires that I establish an emotional connection with my subject, so that the viewer in turn connects at an emotional level with my work.
I like exploring all mediums, but particularly pastel, oil, charcoal and watercolor. My favorite is pastel pencil.'

The April Get Dusty Competiton is closed! Now you can upload to the new category Still life, theme: Doors and Gates
The door or gate has to be the main feature, not the building it is part of. A partial view of a door is allowed as long as the door itself is clearly visible; no portrait of a door handle or keyhole, please. It doesn‘t matter if it’s old or new doors or gates. Have a look at our Reference Photo Library for inspiration (Cityscape,Detail). Or paint your own door or your neigbour’s door.
For informations about the next Get Dusty Competitions have a look on the Schedule 2018/19.
