About the Artist
Cindy Agan's book and video inspires as well as instructs the reader how to present
captivating subjects in a realistic manner and learn controlled techniques, painting
step by step demonstrations based on her most popular subjects that reach the
heart and soul. Both are published worldwide and are ideal for beginning and
established artists.
There are paint colors that are used in the book that may be unfamiliar to
you such as Peachy Keen, Coffee with Cream, and Coastal Fog, etc. These
paints are the American Journey brand and can only be found in the Cheap Joe's
Catalog www.cheapjoes.com 1-800-227-2788.
This information was to be included in the book, but
was omitted by accident. I apologize for any confusion.
"Sweet Dreams"
Cindy Agan is a self-taught and internationally published

evocative of Norman Rockwell."

Her work has been displayed in numerous national and international juried shows, group and solo exhibits, and can be found in

Artist Statement
My art career started with a box of crayons and a coloring book at the age
of three and I have been honing my skills ever since! My professional career began
in the early 80's painting portrait commissions, a practice that continues today.
I am self-taught in watercolor, with the exception of a beginner course. Being
detail-oriented, I prefer a realistic approach to painting using warm colors on my
palette. I apply watercolor paint in a different fashion than is typically used
for this medium. With numerous glazes and high concentrates of pigment I can
achieve more intense and vibrant color.
My artwork is influenced by so many interests that bring me joy: flower gardening,
people, animals, antiques, wine tasting, and a deep appreciation for architectural
details in the US and Europe.
Undoubtedly, there are more paintings that I want to do than I have time,
but there is nothing I would rather do than work towards that impossible goal.
