The Birth of Coco Painting

BIO: I’m a Bolivian American oil painter who was born in Denver on June 16, 1990. My father named me Cedric so I would not be burdened with picking a pseudonym. Those who know me best describe me as a sparkling cunning snake with a penchant for gummy bears. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art in 2016 from Metro State University of Denver, where I learned a lot about art history and art theory. I learned the most about painting through my various apprenticeships and private lessons with master painters such as Felicia Forte, who thought me through online lessons via Skype. I've sold hundreds of paintings and I've shipped artwork to nearly every continent. I’m also a member of The International Guild of Realism, whose mission since its founding is to "recognize the best realists working today". I also own a rescued greyhound named Coco whom I might put up for adoption if she pisses in my car again. You can see most of my works in progress by following me on Instagram.
