The first time I really remember watching my aunt, Ellie Weakley paint a portrait is when she painted me as a 15 year old.

When I started painting professionally, I admit painting a portrait intimidated me.

Then, I saw my Aunt Ellie Weakley paint a portrait in New Mexico and I followed along.

I realized, like painting architecture, fruit, flowers, the face is likewise all about range of relationships in values, shapes and colors.

I’ve now been teaching portraits for over 15 years and happy to share that my students feel confident to paint from their own photos once I teach them the basics.


The dream of painting family members, friends, people you are drawn to, is all possible as you discover how to infuse color and light into your style portraits.

And the best part is discovering your own style in the process.

This is why I’ve created my Watercolor Portraits online program.

Jane T. 

I’ve loved every minute of the class and expect to return to the lessons multiple times to sharpen my skills. This was just what I needed to help me move from rank beginner, self-taught, wanna-be, to a budding watercolorist, excited to keep on learning and growing!

Catherine M.

I have learned so much about watercolor and art from Cindy. I have attended her workshops and I am a member of at least three of her watercolor workshops online. She has been one of the best teachers for me and I credit her for advancing me on my watercolor journey. You will learn so much from Cindy Briggs that, quite honestly, you won't learn anywhere else.

Liz C. 

When I came across your art and your classes it was like a breath of fresh air. It was so uplifting and inspiring - just what I was ready to explore on the next step of my artistic journey. And as a member of All About Watercolors, it feels like I've found the right learning to help me discover my personal style. Thank you and I look forward to learning more.

Robin R.

Cindy is a delightful guide to artists of all levels, and her videos are easy to follow. I’ve enjoyed the quick-draw projects and have applied many of her techniques to my other paintings.

Why paint watercolors with Cindy?

 

Who is Cindy Briggs and why would I want to learn watercolor painting from her?” That’s probably the question you’ve got in mind at this point.

To answer that question,... Teaching watercolors for over 25 years, I truly enjoy working with and helping my students on their creative journey en plein air, in the studio and online. 

I am:

 A master of translucent watercolors; I've gained recognition for my sun-drenched landscapes, luminous flowers, and striking portraits,

 An International recognized artist whose work has been accepted into juried award shows and exhibited in several galleries across the US.  My work has also been featured in publications including Watercolor Magazine, Plein Air Magazine, Outdoor Painter, and Conde Nast.

 An International Workshop Instructor for over 20 years.  Scenic destinations from Spain, Italy, France, to Quebec and Greece are popular in Cindy's workshops with more starting in 2022.

More Quotes by Cindy's Students:

Kathryn M.

The online Facebook closed group of others in the class really is motivating. There is a sense of community; it is fun to share and see how others approach a particular subject. I’ve really enjoyed this class!

Marie M.

I feel more free to be myself in this online class, where I don’t have to look anyone in the eye (I am pathetically self-critical) …. And I learn so much from other classmates’ comments and from others’ work, because I am relaxed. The material is fun and Cindy is inspiring. I haven’t painted this often, Ever!!

Bill F. 

This is far better than any one-week workshop I have ever attended.

Marleen V.

Loving this online course-no pressure, good , clear instruction and lots of positive, constructive feedback..it’s all good!
