| Cindy Roe |
 Award winning artist Cindy Roe has been painting for 25 years. Ms. Roe's art has always focused on her reverence of nature and mans place in it. "My greatest pleasure is when I feel connected to the world we live in. I love experiencing the unique synergy of mind, body and spirit with nature. I'm compelled to capture it in my art."
And she does capture this synergy in her highly regarded seascapes and landscapes for which she is regularly commissioned. Ms. Roe's art has been recognized nationally. She was honored by the national John Steinbeck center in Salinas, California for her painting of California agriculture, and many of her works have been featured in exhibits and art institutions across the country. In 2000, Cindy and her family moved from New York to San Francisco and in 2006 moved backto New York. She enjoys Au Plein Air painting which is perfectly in keeping with her affinity for the outdoors. She works out of her studio in Sagaponack, but only when forced to be inside. Cindy Roe's art prints are availablie at Hampton Photo Arts, Bridgehampton, NY. |

My hopes with this introduction to color theory is to peek your interest and hopefully cause you to study this topic further on your own. Understanding color theory is perhaps one of the most important aspects of becoming a good painter. When you understand the elements of color and how colors interact with one another, you have unlocked one of the biggest puzzles of painting | |

| How to make your own oil paints |
 Oil paints are made basically by mixing cold-pressed Linsed oil with pigment or color until a smooth buttery paint is produced. When the oil paint is used and applied to a surface the oil oxidizes or absorbs air and then forms a solid film that binds the pigment to the surface of the painting. |
