artist’s sketch
Nilda Rosa Rodriguez cda, has been painting since 1988. Ever since she can remember she enjoyed drawing
faces and coloring books. A set of new crayons or an art set was her favorite gift. She painted solely in acrylics
for several years until she had the courage to try oils on her own. Nilda passed her certification in the still life cat-
egory at the Society of Decorative Painter’s Tampa convention in 2005. In 2007 she started designing in colored
pencils. She traveled across the United States and England to teach seminars in oils, acrylics, and colored pencils,
as well as being a contributor to The Decorative Painter and the Japan Decorative Painting Association Magazine,
for which she was selected to be the cover artist for the December 2016 issue. Nilda owns three online painting
schools with teachers from around the world: the acrylicpaintingclub.com, coloredpencilsclub.com, and onlinepaintingmagazine.com.
She loves painting people, birds, flowers, fruits and still life. In her store, tolebrush.com, she sells online classes in Colored Pencils, Oils and Acrylics as well as pattern packets or tutorials in all three of these mediums from different teachers.
